Florida Atlantic Head Coach Willie Taggert looks to continue to add big names to his coaching staff this offseason.
The latest comes in our confirmation that former NFL star Hines Ward will join the team in an off-field coaching role.
Ward has spent the last two years as a full-time offensive assistant with the New York Jets.
Ward played at the University of Georgia from 1994-1998. David Kelly, current FAU director of player personnel, was the running backs coach for the Dogs for both the 1994 and 1995 seasons.
During his time in the NFL, Ward amassed 1,000 receptions, over 12,000 yards receiving, four Pro Bowls, and two Super Bowl titles, all with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
