Following the announcement that veteran offensive coordinator Rich Skrosky would not be retained for the 2021 season, all eyes were focused on who Butch Davis would select to rejuvenate an FIU offense that ranked 122nd among FBS teams in total offense last season.
The answer comes in the form of the longest-tenured member of the Panthers’ coaching staff. Running backs coach Tim Harris Jr. has been promoted to offensive coordinator announced by FIU on Tuesday morning while players were notified of the move in a team meeting on Sunday.
Harris will also remain as the running backs coach and cornerbacks coach Bryn Renner will move to quarterbacks coach, taking over the role that was also filled by Skrosky.
