UCF's search for a new head football coach is winding down as the Knights are in talks with former Auburn coach Guz Malzahn, according to Yahoo Sports' Pete Thamel.
Thamel reports the school is "close to finalizing a deal" with Malzahn. An announcement is expected as soon as Monday.
Reports surfaced over the weekend that UCF had offered the head coaching job to Malzahn. The program has been searching for a new head coach for the past month after losing Josh Heupel to Tennessee. Heupel reunited in Knoxville with former UCF athletic director Danny White, who also joined the Volunteers in January.
