BOCA RATON, Fla. — Florida Atlantic has fired football coach Tom Herman with two games left in his second season at the school, neither of which resulted in a winning record. The Owls were 4-8 last season and are 2-8 this season. Special teams coordinator Chad Lunsford will lead the Owls in their final two games of this season and the school said Monday a search for the next head coach is already underway. This will be the fourth consecutive losing season for the Owls, who won 27 games in a three-year span under Lane Kiffin from 2017 through 2019 and went 21-34 under Willie Taggart and Herman since Kiffin left for Mississippi.
