At his introductory press conference on Dec. 14, coach Geoff Collins said he’d watch the Owls as they prepared for the Military Bowl, but keep a hands-off approach.
He was talking to athletic director Pat Kraft on the sideline in the first half of Tuesday’s game in Annapolis, Maryland, which the Owls lost 34-26.
Collins will retain Ed Foley, who led the Owls as the interim head coach in Tuesday’s loss, and two other members of the coaching staff for next season. All coaching roles will be determined when Collins finalizes his staff, according to a university release.
