Interim coach Ed Foley ran Tuesday’s practice without his defensive staff.
Coach Matt Rhule left for Baylor University last week and took four members of the Owls’ defensive staff with him, and defensive coordinator Phil Snow was last in California with his father, “taking care of a personal issue,” Foley said. He said the staff will return to coach the Military Bowl on Dec. 27.
At some point during practice, someone informed Foley that University of Florida defensive coordinator Geoff Collins will become the Owls’ new head coach.
Despite the news and uncertainty surrounding the program in the last week or so, Foley is taking everything in stride.
