Florida Atlantic is hiring Baylor associate head coach John Jakus as its coach, a move that comes four days after Dusty May capped his six-year run with the Owls and took over at Michigan.

Jakus and the school have agreed on a five-year contract. Financial terms were not immediately released and the school was planning to hold an introductory news conference on Friday. 'This program has been in such great hands, and I have a tremendous amount of respect for what Dusty May, his staff, and the players have accomplished,' Jakus said. 'FAU has been one of the best teams in the nation the last two years and I am so fortunate to carry on that tradition.

John is a tireless worker who cares deeply for his players and has an innate understanding of the current landscape in college athletics. He is a winner and is passionate about doing it the right way.' In Jakus' 12 seasons on Division I staffs, the teams have posted a combined 316-99 record. He's been a head coach in Europe at clubs in Macedonia and Bulgaria from 2007 through 2011.
