The Florida Atlantic University Owls have fired head football coach Tom Herman. He departs the program after a 2-8 record this season.
The Bowls have the worst record in the American Athletic Conference. They have a winless record, as we write this story, with an 0-6 mark.
FAU has yet to officially announce the firing on the school’s website. The Owls have dropped their last five games.

However, ESPN’s Pete Thamel has reported the news. He is also reporting that Herman had three years left on his original five year agreement.
He will also be owed nearly $4 million, according to Thamel.
The interim head coach will lead the team against the Charlotte 49ers this weekend. Then their season will conclude with a game against the Tulsa Golden Hurricane on Thanksgiving weekend.
Herman led the program for parts of the last two seasons. He was 6-16 leading the program.
In his first season at the Florida-based school, FAU went 4-8 in 2023.
Herman was hired to rebuild the program and rebuild his image in the coaching ranks. However, he failed to do that.

He may have to go the coordinator route if he wants to coach again next season.
He was previously the head coach with the Houston Cougars and the Texas Longhorns. Herman went 22-4 in two seasons with the Cougars.
Herman then left to become the Longhorns head coach where he went 32-18 in four seasons.
