Florida Atlantic announced on Wednesday that it hired Baylor assistant coach John Jakus as its next head coach. Jakus has been on Bears head coach Scott Drew’s staff for the last seven years.
Jakus takes over an FAU program that recently lost Dusty May, who was hired by Michigan for its head coaching job after six years at the helm for the Owls.
“I’m both honored and humbled to be the head coach at Florida Atlantic University,” Jakus said in an FAU press release. “This program has been in such great hands, and I have a tremendous amount of respect for what Dusty May, his staff, and the players have accomplished.
