Florida Atlantic has fired head coach Tom Herman in just his second season, multiple outlets reported Monday.
Associate head coach Chad Lunsford will be named interim head coach for the Owls’ final two games.
Herman finishes with a 6-16 record in Boca Raton, Fla.
The news comes two days after the Owls lost to Temple in overtime, 18-15. The loss dropped FAU to 2-8 and 0-6 in the AAC. Temple fired head coach Stan Drayton on Sunday.
Herman, 49, is owed a buyout of more than $4 million, according to the USA Today database.
FAU hired Herman in 2023. He went 32-18 in four seasons at Texas but was fired after a 7-3 stint in the 2020 COVID season. Herman led the Longhorns to a bowl win in each of his four seasons.
Herman went 22-4 as head coach in Houston from 2015-16. He is 5-1 in bowl games overall, though not at FAU.
