Reports
indicate that Arkansas assistant Charlie
Partridge will be named the new football coach at Florida Atlantic. A
Florida native, Partridge severed as the Razorbacks defensive line and
assistant head coach in 2013.
Partridge takes over for Carl Pelini who resigned mid-season
after allegations of drug use and failure to supervise his staff. The Owls finished
the season 6-6 and won four games under interim head coach Brian Wright after
Pelini’s departure.
A former college defensive lineman and long time assistant
coach, Partridge is known as one of the top recruiters in South Florida. He was
also part of Bret Bielma’s staff at Wisconsin that won three straight Big 10
titles between 2010-2012.
New FAU coach Charlie Partridge's 5-year deal worth $2.76M, source told @ESPN. Will be formally introduced Tuesday
