A move that many in North Philadelphia were hoping for has come to fruition. Rod Carey is no longer the head football coach of the Temple Owls.
The results speak for themselves. Carey finished with a 12-20 record in three seasons at Temple, including a 3-9 record in 2021 and a year removed from a 1-6 mark in 2020. The team looked to have quit on him down the stretch as the Owls finished the season on a seven-game losing streak, losing by 20-plus in each contest. The numbers under Carey were staggering.
Some Temple numbers:
• 3-12 on the road since 2019, outscored 530-263 in those games.
