After coming up short in the coaching search at Houston, Lane Kiffin may have another gig in store.
Kiffin is in talks with Florida Atlantic about becoming the next head coach of the Owls, Football Scoop reported Friday. The AP’s Tim Reynolds also confirmed that FAU is pursuing Kiffin:
Many view taking the Florida Atlantic job as a major step downward for Kiffin, but that might be all that is available to him in the head coaching realm...
Kiffin, 41, wants to become a head coach again, which is something Nick Saban endorses. Kiffin reportedly thought he had the Houston job, but it was given to Major Applewhite instead. Now Kiffin is talking with a program that started in 2001 and has only enjoyed two winning seasons. The Owls just fired Charlie Partridge after consecutive 3-9 seasons.
There are some questions about how much FAU could pay Kiffin, but the current Bama offensive coordinator may be more concerned with the opportunity. If Kiffin can turn the Owls into a winner, it could get the attention of other major programs that are too fearful to take a chance on him...
Florida Atlantic University has a student body in excess of 31,000 students , undergraduate, graduate and Doctorakl students. It is a state system public university.
They have an 850 acre campus which includes an "on campus 30,000 seat stadium with future expansion that will increase to 50,000+.
Construction was completed on the 29,419-seat, open-air FAU Football Stadium in 2011, in time to host the first game on October 15 against Western Kentucky. The stadium has 32 loge boxes and 24 suites, and the skybox and press box allows for a view of the Atlantic Ocean, which is the only stadium in the nation that can claim that. FAU Stadium is also home to the annual FBS Boca Raton Bowl...
