Rod Carey was hired by Indiana as the Run Game Coordinator and Offensive Line Coach in 2022.

Rod Carey is the former Head Football Coach at Temple University. Carey led the Owls to an 8-5 record and a berth in the 2019 Military Bowl. That extended Temple's streak to five straight bowl games, the longest in school history. The eight wins tied Steve Addazio fro the most wins by a first-year head coach in Temple history. Carey, who was named NIU’s head coach in December 2012, coached the Huskies in six bowl games, including leading the Mid-American Conference power against Florida State in the 2013 Discover Orange Bowl. 

“We are very happy to announce that Rod Carey will take over as the next Temple head football coach,” said Temple University Director of Athletics Dr. Patrick Kraft in January.  “Rod is a proven winner with a history of success as a head coach at the FBS level. He has won four regular season titles and two MAC Championships at Northern Illinois while taking the Huskies to six bowl games, including the 2013 Orange Bowl. He has also recruited and coached All-American players at NIU. 

Under Carey, NIU was the dominant program in the MAC from 2013-16, winning four West Division titles and two MAC Championship games. Three of the next four seasons saw Carey lead the Huskies to eight-win campaigns with his teams winning two more West Division titles.
