The new coach will expedite the process of building a program.
Florida Atlantic has put its efforts over the past years into making the football program nationally known.
It paid $70 million for a new football stadium that broke ground in 2010. The program also has $28 million dollars set aside for the Schmidt Family Complex for Academic and Athletic Excellence building, a project which will cost $45-50 million.
However that $100 million already spent pales in comparison to what the Owls did on Monday morning when they hired Lane Kiffin to become the fifth head coach in program history.
