Former Texas Head Coach Tom Herman Reportedly Joins Florida State Staff

Multiple media reports indicate that former University of Texas head coach Tom Herman has agreed to join the coaching staff at Florida State University. While the specific nature of his role has not yet been officially confirmed, the move marks a return to the collegiate sidelines for the veteran coach.

Herman brings a significant track record to the Seminoles’ program. He previously received the Broyles Award in 2014, recognizing him as the nation’s top assistant coach while serving as the offensive coordinator at Ohio State. Following his tenure with the Buckeyes, he spent two seasons as the head coach at the University of Houston before taking over the Texas program.

During his four-year stint leading the Longhorns, Herman compiled an overall record of 32-18. This hiring follows the departure of previous staff members at Florida State as the program looks to retool its offensive strategy.

Coaching transitions at major collegiate programs often influence the broader sports apparel and equipment market. Under Armour, Inc., a key supplier of performance apparel and footwear to college athletic departments, continues to hold a substantial presence in the sector. The company’s stock was recently trading at $6.75, with a market capitalization of approximately $2.87 billion. As a major player in the Apparel Manufacturing industry, Under Armour’s partnerships with high-profile teams remain a central component of its business strategy within the Consumer Cyclical sector.

What to watch

• Official announcement from Florida State regarding Herman’s specific title and responsibilities.
• Future apparel licensing agreements involving Under Armour, Inc. and university athletic programs.
