Terry Bowden was named the new head coach at Akron on Thursday.
?I?m so excited to be a Zip,? Bowden said. ?With the great resources and the commitment to winning by the administration and community, it?s just a matter of time until we build a championship program.?
Bowden previously coached at Auburn (1993-98) and spent the past three seasons as the head coach at Division II North Alabama. He was also a studio analyst for ABC Sports for 10 years.
He will replace Ron Ianello, who was fired after a 3-9 season.
?We welcome Terry Bowden back to campus,? Akron President Dr. Luis M. Proenza said in a release. ?He brings with him an outstanding record of success and a true football coaching pedigree.?
Bowden was an assistant coach at Akron in 1986 under then Zips? coach Gerry Faust.
He has a career record of 139-63-2. He was 29-10 at North Alabama and his teams made the playoffs all three seasons.
