The UCF Knights athletics program has found its new leader. And Knights fans are ecstatic.

Terry Mohajir will be replacing Danny White as UCF’s athletic director, the university confirmed Tuesday. White left his position as UCF’s AD for the same title at Tennessee and took Josh Heupel with him.

At UCF, finding the next head football coach is Mohajir’s first task, and he has already started the process, according to an email sent to UCF donors.

Mohajir hails from Arkansas State where he served as athletic director since 2012. He is known for his track record of hiring head football coaches bred for success — Brian Harsin (Auburn), Blake Anderson (Utah State) and Butch Jones (Tennessee).

UCF fans, desperate to find out who the new Knights football coach will be, seemed to approve the Mohajir hire due to his fun personality, presence on social media and position on the College Football Playoff selection committee.

Here’s what Knights fans had to say about the university’s new athletic director, Terry Mohajir:

First and foremost, Terry Mohajir = good at TikTok

Correction: *really good at TikTok

Like, he’s so good at TikTok

T-MOOOOO!!
