Florida Atlantic and defensive coordinator Tony Pecoraro have parted ways, according to a source.
Pecoraro is out after leading the Owls’ defense for one season. He joined FAU in March of 2018.
The news was first reported by Football Scoop on Monday night.
FAU’s defense struggled throughout the 2018 season. Out of 130 Football Bowl Subdivision teams, the Owls ranked 94th in scoring defense (31.8 points per game), 88th in total defense (424.4 yards per game), 90th in opponents’ third-down conversion percentage (41.2 percent) and didn’t do much in terms of getting sacks and forcing turnovers.
