FAU football coaching search 2024: Candidates, hot board, names to watch by top Owls experts

After a 6-16 record and less than two years on the job, Tom Herman was fired as the FAU football coach. Herman went just 2-8 this year and associate head coach Chad Lunsford will be the interim HC for the Owls’ final games. However, the FAU football coaching search is already underway with recruiting periods around the corner. The Florida Atlantic Owls have clinched their fourth straight losing season, but being in the football hotbed of South Florida will make the FAU football coaching job one of the most coveted among the Group of Five openings.

The school has had several big-name coaches previously, including Howard Schnellenberger, who won a national title at Miami, and current Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin. The Owls also aren’t far removed from a high level of success, with a pair of 11-win seasons since 2017, so they should be able to attract FAU football coaching candidates with strong backgrounds.
