Temple fired Rod Carey after three seasons following a 3-9 finish to the 2021 season. Carey won 8-games in his first season, but that was followed by 1 and then 3-win seasons that ultimately led to his dismissal.
To fill their opening, Temple brought in Texas running backs coach Stan Drayton for his first head coaching opportunity just after the early national signing day.
Here, on the Temple Staff Tracker page, we lay out the new staff and also provide some perspective by noting who coached the position on the previous staff.
