Gus Malzahn, UCF's head coach, has made significant changes to the coaching staff after a disappointing 6-7 season. Tim Harris Jr. has returned to UCF as the offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach, while Darin Hinshaw will serve as co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. Malzahn has also taken back play-calling duties and is focused on winning big in 2024. He recruited UCF's best-ever high school and transfer class, including quarterback KJ Jefferson and multiple defensive playmakers. The team had multiple co-offensive coordinators in 2021-22, but now Malzahn has reassumed full control of the offense, including calling plays.
