Florida Atlantic introduced Lane Kiffin as its new head coach during a news conference at FAU Stadium on Tuesday, officially opening the next chapter of Owls football.
Kiffin, who has spent the last three seasons as Alabama's offensive coordinator, will remain with the Crimson Tide through their playoff run.
"Today, we continue our pursuit of excellence, our unbridled ambition by hiring the top person in the country, the genius in coaching: Lane Kiffin," FAU president John Kelly said.
Though widely reported Monday morning, the move was not officially announced by the school until Tuesday morning.
