Florida Atlantic introduced its new vice president, director of athletics on Friday - and he made it clear it's not going to be a one-man operation.
Josh McCowan held a press conference at the Owls Nest in the Schmidt Family Complex for Academic and Athletic Excellence, one week after being hired to replace Brian White, who resigned last month to become the athletic director at Virginia Tech.
Friday's ceremony also included remarks from FAU President Adam Hasner and Chair of the Board of Trustees Piero Bussani, who served on the committee that chose McCowan after a national search. The committee also included university benefactor Michael Hagerty, football coach Zach Kittley, softball coach Jordan Clark and men's and women's basketball coaches John Jakus and LeAnn Freeland.
"Josh has the right experience, the right values and the right vision for the athletics department and for the university," Hasner said. "And the energy that he brings to this job is aligned with the trajectory of Florida Atlantic University.
"Josh is the right leader at the right time."
