Temple University Hires K.C. Keeler as New Head Football Coach

Keeler, a Pennsylvania native with a history of championship success, aims to revitalize Temple's struggling football program.

K.C. Keeler, previously head coach at Sam Houston State, has been named Temple University's 18th head football coach.
Keeler brings a career record of 271-112-1 and has won two national championships, one with Delaware in 2003 and another with Sam Houston State in 2020.
At Sam Houston State, Keeler led the team through its transition to the FBS level, achieving a 9-3 record this season and earning bowl eligibility in Conference USA.
Temple has endured four consecutive 3-9 seasons, prompting the firing of former coach Stan Drayton in November after a 9-25 record over three years.
Keeler, a Pennsylvania native and former Delaware coach, expressed excitement about returning to his home state to lead Temple's football program back to prominence.
