Florida Atlantic coach Lane Kiffin told ESPN on Wednesday that former Baylor coach Art Briles is not a consultant for the Owls' program, formally or informally, and has never been to practice.
Briles' son, Kendal Briles, is the FAU offensive coordinator and was quoted recently as saying he talks to his father daily about such things as personnel and getting players in the right spots.
"Somebody texted me and wanted to know why I hired Art Briles, and I was like, 'What?'" Kiffin said. "He's absolutely not a consultant and has never been to practice or spoken to our team.
