Florida Atlantic football started 2021 by parting ways with co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Clint Trickett, and special teams and tight ends coach Jaron Fairman, according to multiple reports. Both Trickett and Fairman joined the Owls at the beginning of 2017 under former head coach Lane Kiffin. This past season, the offense and specials teams both struggled, and head coach Willie Taggart decided to part ways with the two assistants.
