MIAMI (Feb. 12, 2019) – FIU defensive coordinator Brent Guy announced on Tuesday that he is stepping away from football to take care of personal responsibilities.
 
"We are grateful for all Brent has done for this program over the past two seasons," head coach Butch Davis said. "He helped lay the ground work for this program and played an integral part of our success. With his help, we went to back-to-back bowl games and set a program record in wins. The FIU family wishes Brent and his family the very best for the future."
 
Guy has spent over 30 years coaching football, with he and Davis first meeting at Oklahoma State in the early 1980s. Guy was a player with the Cowboys, while Davis was an assistant coach.
 
On Nov. 14, 2016, Davis and Guy reunited as he joined the FIU football staff. The Perryton, Texas native served as the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach with the Panthers.
 
Under his watch, Guy coached FIU great and current New York Jets linebacker Anthony Wint. In 2018, linebacker Sage Lewis set the program-record in tackles for a season after collecting 132 for the year. Lewis ranked first in the conference for that stat.
