Florida Atlantic head football coach Carl Pelini and
defensive coordinator Pete Rekstis tendered
their resignations to athletic director Pat Chun Wednesday. The
resignations come amid reports that both coaches attended a off campus social event
where they used illegal drugs.
In Pelini’s absence offensive coordinator Brain Wright has
been named interim head coach. Linebackers coach Jevan Dewitt will take on the responsibilities
of defensive coordinator.
Pelini leaves FAU with a 5-15 record over one and a half
seasons. One of those losses occurred 18 days ago when Marshall defeated
the Owls 24-23 on a last second field goal by kicker Justin Haig.
During a press conference earlier today Chun announced that the search for Pelini’s permanent replacement has already begun.
