University president John Kelly, as well as former and current Owls football players, have praised the new coach.
After Florida Atlantic hired Lane Kiffin as its next football coach on Monday, Twitter users across the country took to the platform to share their opinions on the former Alabama offensive coordinator.
Brent McMurphy, an ESPN reporter who first released that Kiffin had become head coach, reported that FAU will pay him an annual $1 million. This makes him the highest paid coach in Conference USA.
