The youngest head coach in Football Bowls Subdivision is adding one of the sport's more veteran assistants to his offensive staff.
Zach Kittley, the brilliant offensive-minded 33-year-old new leader of the Florida Atlantic program, is bringing aboard DJ McCarthy as the program's wide receivers coach, sources tell FootballScoop.
McCarthy, most recently on staff at HBCU program Bethune-Cookman, has coached at multiple Florida collegiate programs, as well as developing multiple NFL wideouts during a multi-year run at LSU.
Additionally, McCarthy, a South Florida native who played collegiately at Washington, has coached at UCLA and in the high school ranks at multiple Florida prep programs.
Kittley was hired to right the FAU program after the school fired Tom Herman after Herman posted a brutal 6-16 mark through less than two full seasons.
Kittley helped engineer some of college football's most explosive offenses at Houston Baptist, Western Kentucky and then the past three seasons at Texas Tech, his alma mater.
