UCF will have to start looking for a new AD. Danny White is reportedly heading to Tennessee to be the new AD according to Dan Wolken. White has been excellent during his time at UCF. UCF football went undefeated during the 2017 season. They went 13-0 including beating Auburn in the Peach Bowl. They were crowned National Champions by Colley Matrix. White got UCF on the map around the country starting with back to back undefeated regular seasons and let his voice be heard regarding the group of five teams and why they should be included in the playoff.
UCF men's basketball also thrived under White. He hired Johnny Dawkins as the head coach and during March Madness in 2019, they got their first NCAA tournament win against VCU and almost beat a Duke team led by Zion Williamson. The women's basketball team has also been great since White arrived. The team also made the NCAA tournament in 2019 after finishing top four in the AAC.
White will be heading to a Tennessee program that is in need of a lot of work especially with the football team. They had a lot football players transfer from the school including running backs Eric Gray and Ty Chandler, quarterback Jarrett Guarantano, linebacker Henry To'o To'o and many more. They are still in search of a head coach after they fired Jeremy Pruitt. Kevin Steele is serving as the interim head coach until they find their coach. Tennessee now has their guy and UCF will start their search for a new AD now.
