"This morning, Head Football Coach Geoff Collins informed me of his decision to return home and accept a position at the Georgia Institute of Technology.

In his two years at Temple, Geoff helped us build on past successes and led us to two consecutive bowl games and an eight-win season in 2018. Off the field, our student-athletes excelled in the classroom and represented Temple well in the community. We wish Geoff, Jennifer and Astrid all the best in Atlanta and we thank them for their service to Temple University.

While it is always difficult to lose a head coach, it is a testament to what we have built at Temple through our students, our fans, our alumni and our donors that we can continue to have success.
