Ex-Texas Coach Tom Herman Joins Florida State Staff
14 Jul
Summary
- Tom Herman joins Florida State's coaching staff in an unspecified role.
- Herman previously led Texas to a 32-18 record over four seasons.
- He takes on the role as Florida State seeks a turnaround in 2026.
Tom Herman, a notable figure in college football coaching, has reportedly joined the Florida State coaching staff. His specific role with the Seminoles has not yet been disclosed. Herman, 51, brings significant head coaching experience from his previous tenures.
He previously led the University of Texas for four seasons, where he compiled a 32-18 record, including one season with more than eight wins. Prior to his time with the Longhorns, Herman achieved a 22-4 record at the University of Houston from 2015-2016, notably capping his debut season with a Peach Bowl victory over Florida State.
Herman's most recent college coaching position was at Florida Atlantic, where he coached for two seasons with a 6-16 record before his departure. He also had a stint as an offensive analyst with the Chicago Bears in 2021.
His arrival at Florida State comes as head coach Mike Norvell faces pressure to improve the team's performance. The Seminoles are looking to rebound in 2026 after a combined 7-17 record in the two seasons following their undefeated 2023 campaign, which controversially saw them excluded from the College Football Playoff.
