The former Texas football head coach to most recently land another head coaching job around the FBS came when Tom Herman was hired by the Florida Atlantic Owls early this offseason. The former Texas and Houston Cougars head coach Herman was hired by the Owls to replace former FAU head coach Willie Taggart, who was fired after going 5-7 for the second consecutive season in 2022.
This will be Herman’s first head coaching gig since Texas let him go following the conclusion of the 2020 season. Since then, Herman was a special projects coach/analyst under former head coach Matt Nagy with the Chicago Bears in 2021.
