Florida Atlantic coach Lane Kiffin is trying to make the adjustment easy as possible.
Dealing with two new coordinators is a tough process but Kiffin has simplified it by adapting to them instead of the alternative. The Owls hired offensive coordinator Charlie Weis Jr. and defensive coordinator Tony Pecoraro in the offseason.
Kiffin said he’s allowed both to bring in their philosophies so the transition is smoother.
“To me, when you hire someone you’ve got to let them, especially on the other side of the ball, run their system and not try to make him run your system from before,” Kiffin said.
