According to multiple reports, Florida Atlantic has pursued Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin to become the Owls’ next football coach.
Football Scoop and the Associated Press each connected Kiffin to the FAU job on Friday night. Kiffin has spent the past three seasons as Alabama’s offensive coordinator but has previous head coaching experience with the Oakland Raiders, Tennessee and USC.
Kiffin, 41, has been linked to a number of jobs this offseason, including the top job at Houston and the offensive coordinator position at LSU. He has mixed results as a head coach, going 5-15 in two seasons with the NFL’s Raiders and 7-6 in a lone season at Tennessee.
