When Lane Kiffin agreed to become the next head coach at FAU most people scoffed that his tenure wouldn’t last long. The perception among media members and college football fans was that Kiffin would be one and done. Two years max.
Critics speculated that if he stays longer than two years, FAU would be in worse shape than when he arrived. Those who believed in Kiffin figured FAU would be in the midst of laying the foundation of becoming a Group of Five powerhouse with the likes of Boise State if Kiffin truly stayed in Boca Raton for the long haul.
