Former Texas head coach Tom Herman is expected to join the Florida State coaching staff, a team source told The Athletic on Monday, speaking anonymously because the move had not yet been made official. The 51-year-old Herman last worked at Florida Atlantic as head coach, where he went 6-16 in two seasons from 2023-24.<\/p>\n
Herman won the Broyles Award as the nation\u2019s top assistant in 2014 while serving as Ohio State\u2019s offensive coordinator during a national title run. His most recent assistant job was in 2021 with the Chicago Bears, when he was an offensive analyst following a four-year run as head coach at Texas. He went 60-38 in three stints as a college head coach at Houston, Texas and FAU.<\/p>\n
At Florida State, Herman will try to help coach Mike Norvell turn around a program that has gone 7-17 the past two years after going 13-1 and narrowly missing out on the College Football Playoff in 2023. A year ago, Norvell hired another former head coach who had a lot of offensive experience when he brought on Gus Malzahn (Auburn, UCF) as offensive coordinator. Malzahn retired in February and was replaced as OC by Tim Harris.<\/p>\n
Warchant.com first reported the news of Herman\u2019s impending hire at FSU.<\/p>\n
Herman also has worked as an offensive coordinator at Texas State, Rice and Iowa State before being hired by Urban Meyer at Ohio State.<\/p>\n
