C’MON FLORIDA Atlantic University, you blew it. As you usually do.
You had a chance to make a splash. You had a chance to revive Conference USA’s greatest tradition.
You had a chance to land Lane Kiffin as your head football coach. He would have been perfect to join C-USA, the island of misfit coaches.
Oh, well.
As late as Friday night, reports had the former Oakland Raiders, Tennessee and Southern California coach about to reach a deal to come to Boca Raton. By Saturday morning, reports said negotiations hit a roadblock.
So it’s back to Tuscaloosa for Kiffin, who is on the verge of his second championship ring as Alabama’s offensive coordinator.
