Former Oklahoma State defensive coordinator and longtime assistant, Glenn Spencer will get his first chance to lead a Division I program as its head coach, at least in the interim.
After Lane Kiffin vacated the position to take on CEO duties at Ole Miss, Spencer was appointed the interim head coach at Florida Atlantic. He joined the Owls staff one year ago as defensive coordinator.
Oklahoma State let Spencer go following the 2017 season and he spent one year as DC at Charlotte before taking the same job with the Owls in December of 2018.
Under Spencer’s tutelage, Florida Atlantic’s defense has recorded a program-record 21 interceptions so far this season and leads the FBS with 31 turnovers forced.
