FAU Potential Coaching Candidates: Travis Trickett
Career Path: In 2019, I went through Trickett’s career and credentials when FAU was looking for a head coach following Lane Kiffin’s departure to Ole Miss. Most of what I wrote then, still applies now, with an added caveat. After USF dismissed Jeff Scott, Trickett was named the interim head coach for the final three games of the 2022 season. Against SMU, Tulsa, and UCF, the Bulls averaged 34 points and 439 yards per game. Pretty good production, but when you factor in the Bulls dealing with a bevy of injuries and starting a true freshman at QB, it’s easy to be more impressed with Trickett’s ability to run an offense.
We talk about how def performance tracks more with talent than off.
