The Troy Trojans have landed themselves a new offensive coordinator.

According to a release from the school, Troy has hired Adam Austin to Gerad Parker’s staff as the new offensive coordinator following a dominating season for his Tarleton State offense, the best in all of the FCS.

After his second year with the Texans, Austin guided an offense which scored 42.4 points per game, as well as over 260 passing yards and nearly 200 rushing yards per game. Over both seasons, Tarleton State averaged 436.7 yards per game.

“We couldn’t be more excited to welcome Adam and Aubri to the Troy Football Family,” Parker said. “He is an experienced offensive play caller at multiple levels of collegiate football, where there has been one constant – success. Adam is coming off back-to-back seasons at Tarleton State, where the program was elevated to new heights behind his explosive offense. He is a great football coach and, more importantly, a great man.”

Austin’s offense at Tarleton State in 2025 was the top-scoring team at the FCS level and second-ranked scoring team across all Division I football.

He released a statement via the school about his excitement to join the program and take his next big step in his coaching career.

“I am thrilled to join the Troy University football family and contribute to a program with such a storied legacy,” Austin said. “The decision to come to Troy was an easy one and there were several things that aligned perfectly with my passion for helping build championship-caliber teams.”

“First and foremost, I was drawn to the visionary leadership of Gerad Parker, whose forward-thinking approach to the game emphasizes innovation, player development and a relentless pursuit of excellence both on and off the field. His vision for Troy Football is to create a dynamic, explosive, high scoring offense that competes at the highest levels of the FBS, while fostering a culture of accountability and growth. I’m eager to collaborate with him to elevate this program to new heights.”

“Additionally, the unwavering support from the administration at Troy University played a pivotal role in my decision. Their commitment to providing the resources, facilities and backing necessary for success is evident. They understand what it takes to win in today’s competitive landscape, and their investment in the football program ensures we have what we need to recruit top talent and perform at an elite level. The Trojans have a tradition of excellence and a reputation for toughness and resilience, and I can’t wait to add to that legacy and help bring more hardware back to Troy.”

A former college quarterback at Arizona, Austin has also had coaching stops at Grambling State, Midwestern State and Eastern Kentucky in addition to Tarleton, now getting his first coaching shot in the FBS.
