Source: FAU not pursuing Ray Lewis for football head coach

A hectic morning was underway for FAU fans and students, as various reports about NFL Hall-of-fame linebacker Ray Lewis had emerged with him being a potential candidate for the head coaching job for FAU football.

However, after several conflicting reports from various sports outlets and insiders, the rumors about Lewis were squashed by a source close to FAU football; the source stated that it’s too early for a head coaching decision to be revealed.

After firing former head coach Tom Herman on Monday and two assistant coaches last week, FAU football has had a tough couple of weeks navigating the rest of their season without two key components of their staff; while interim roles have been filled for each position, the Owls are still hungry for new staff and opportunities to surface in the future.
