Zach Kittley Named Florida Atlantic's Head Football Coach at Age 33

The former Texas Tech offensive coordinator becomes the youngest head coach in FBS history, tasked with revitalizing FAU's struggling program.

Florida Atlantic has hired 33-year-old Zach Kittley, previously Texas Tech's offensive coordinator, as its new head football coach.
Kittley is the youngest head coach in FBS history and is known for his innovative offensive strategies and player development expertise.
FAU's previous coach, Tom Herman, was dismissed after a 3-9 season and a winless start to conference play in the AAC.
Kittley has a strong track record, including guiding record-breaking offenses at Western Kentucky and mentoring NFL star Patrick Mahomes during his time at Texas Tech.
The Owls are hoping Kittley can restore success to the program, which has not had a winning season since Lane Kiffin's tenure ended in 2019.
