After losing Al Golden to Miami, Temple turned to the Sunshine State to find his replacement. The Owls hired Florida offensive coordinator Steve Addazio to replace Golden, according to a person familiar with the situation. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Wednesday because Temple has not publicly announced the hiring. Addazio is expected to be formally introduced at a news conference Thursday, but remain at Florida through the Outback Bowl against Penn State on Jan. 1. The 51-year-old Addazio has been a member of Urban Meyer's staff at Florida the plast six years. He was an assistant at Syracuse (1995-98), Notre Dame (1999-2001) and Indiana (2002-04). His only head coaching experience came at Cheshire High School in Connecticut (1988-94). Addazio was one of Florida's best recruiters under Meyer, landing some of the top talent in the Northeast and earning an associate head coach title this year after he helped keep the program's recruiting class together during Meyer's leave of absence. He also was a key motivator, with his "Vitamin Addazio" speeches getting rave reviews. Read more: http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=5947908
