Florida Atlantic fired coach Tom Herman on Monday, the school announced, just two years into his tenure.
FAU was 6-16 during Herman's two seasons and had gone 0-6 in the AAC this year. FAU is on a five-game losing streak.
Herman took the job as FAU was transitioning from Conference USA to the AAC and after the firing of coach Willie Taggart, who was there three seasons. Chad Lunsford will be the FAU interim coach. He's the former head coach at Georgia Southern.
Sources said that the decision was results-based, as the record didn't match Herman's track record from his previous stops at Texas and Houston.
