The search for a new head coach is over, as Florida Atlantic football has hired Lane Kiffin to become its fifth head coach in program history.

The former Oakland Raiders, University of Tennessee and University of Southern California head coach is known for his run game offense, as the Crimson Tide finished second in the Southeastern Conference this past season with 245 rushing yards per game.

Alabama led the conference, and was 13th in the nation, in scoring.
