New Florida Atlantic head football coach Lane Kiffin has hired younger brother Chris Kiffin as the team’s defensive coordinator, according to Fox Sports’ Bruce Feldman.
Chris is Lane’s first on-field staff hiring since being announced as the new head coach on Monday. He has spent his last seasons as the defensive line coach at the University of Mississippi, including the 2014 season when the Rebels allowed the fewest points in the country.
This will be his first job as a coordinator.
Scout named Chris the National Recruiter of the Year in 2013 after Ole Miss pulled in a top-five class.
