FAU fires Charlie Partridge

After an embarrassing 77-56 beatdown at the hands of Middle Tennessee it made FAU and Charlie Partridge finish the season 3-9 for the third season in a row with him as the head coach.

Although it had been speculated in the middle of the season that Partridge might be back for a fourth year in Boca Raton due to him being owed over a million dollars in the next two years, last night’s poor effort made it clear it was time for a change.

When hired in 2013 Partridge took over a program coming off of a 6-6 season that featured off the field drama due to the Carl Pelini scandal and on the field improvement.
