FAU Fires Tom Herman, Chad Lunsford Named Interim Coach
Nov 18, 2024, 06:30 PM
Florida Atlantic University (FAU) has fired head coach Tom Herman after a disappointing tenure marked by a 6-16 record over less than two full seasons. Herman's dismissal comes after the Owls lost their fifth consecutive game, concluding with a 2-8 record this season. The decision was confirmed by multiple sources, with Herman being informed of his firing following a team meeting. Herman, who previously coached at Texas, had three years remaining on his contract with FAU, entitling him to nearly $4 million in severance. Special teams coordinator Chad Lunsford has been named interim head coach for the remainder of the season.
