Florida Atlantic Football made an enormous decision on Monday to fire head coach Tom Herman. The removal happened after FAU lost to the Temple University Owls, 18-15, in an overtime game last Saturday. Herman finished his two-year tenure at FAU with a 6-16 record and only three conference wins.
Athletic director Brian White approached Chad Lunsford and informed him of the decision to let go of Herman, asking if Lunsford would be willing to step up as the interim head coach. Lunsford accepted the position, describing it as a “no-brainer” decision. As Lunsford assumed the new role, he shared that he is nothing but thankful for Herman.
