American college football season
The 2024 Florida Atlantic Owls football team represented Florida Atlantic University in the American Athletic Conference (AAC) during the 2024 NCAA Division I FBS football season . The Owls were led by Tom Herman in his second year as the head coach. The Owls played their home games at FAU Stadium , located in Boca Raton, Florida .
After starting 2–8 overall and 0–6 in conference play, head coach Tom Herman was fired on November 18, 2024. Across parts of two seasons, Herman compiled a 6–16 overall record and a 3–11 conference mark. Special teams coordinator and tight ends coach Chad Lunsford was named the Owls' interim head coach.[ 1] Lunsford re-hired defensive coordinator Roc Bellantoni, whom Herman had fired a week prior.[ 2] On December 2, Florida Atlantic announced that Texas Tech offensive coordinator Zach Kittley had been hired as the program's new head coach.[ 3]
