The Temple Owls hired Florida's offensive coordinator Steve Addazio to replace Golden, according to a person familiar with the situation. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity on Wednesday, because Temple has not publicly announced his hiring.
Addazio is expected to be formally introduced at a news conference Thursday. News media outlets in Gainesville and Philadelphia also reported Addazio's hiring.
The 51-year-old Addazio has been a member of Urban Meyer's staff at Florida the plast six years. He was an assistant at Syracuse (1995-98), Notre Dame (1999-2001) and Indiana (2002-04). His only head coaching experience came at Cheshire High School in Connecticut (1988-94).
Addazio was one of Florida's best recruiters under Meyer, landing some of the top talent in the Northeast and earned an associate head coach title this year after he helped keep the program's recruiting class together during Meyer's leave of absence.
