Liked the acceptance speach….I surely hope he keeps the majority of staff….especially Coach Sims.

Sims was there today, so he's at least still in the running.

The four pillars on which Charlie Partridge will build his program at Florida Atlantic

Which is exactly why Charlie Partridge is Florida Atlantic's new head coach.

Partridge grew up in south Florida - twenty minutes from Florida Atlantic, he says - and visited often during recruiting season, where he built a reputation as a rainmaker on the south Florida recruiting scene.

Chun quickly learned Partridge did things the right way in reaching out to his contacts at Wisconsin, and his trust was earned when Partridge's name never leaked to the media during the interview process. "The first time I met him, I knew he was a special guy. We needed a guy with presence. We want difference makers, and the second we met, you knew Charlie was a difference maker," Chun said.

Finally, Partridge didn't just want to be a head coach, Chun said, he wanted to come home and he wanted to be the head coach at Florida Atlantic. "He gets off the plane, he doesn't need a map," said Chun.

Partridge publicly extends the OC position to Wright. Wright is nowhere to be found in SFla. Last seen at the football facilities in Austin, presumed to be interviewing for the Texas HC position.

Next to the Howard statue in the stadium.

I attended the presser today.  I enjoyed the complete removal of Pellini from the face of FAU's past. Carl was a bad coach, and it was a bad hire by an AD that was on the way out the door. Glad times are a-changin'

PLEASE keep Jared Allen.....
