Kirk Speraw is out after 17 years as Central FloridaÕs coach.
UCF announced Monday that Speraw would not be retained after a disappointing 15-17 season, ending one of the longest active tenures in the nation. Associate head coach Mike Jaskulski will serve as interim coach.
UCF athletics director Keith Tribble says in a statement that it Òwas not an easy decision, but one we felt will serve in the best interest of our programÕs direction.Ó
Speraw finished as the schoolÕs winningest coach with a 279-233 record. His tenure included four NCAA tournament berths, the last coming in 2005.
