Today we made the exciting announcement that Lane Kiffin will be FAU’s next head football coach. He has coached at the highest level and brings to Boca Raton a winning mentality.

Coach Kiffin joins FAU from the University of Alabama where, as offensive coordinator, he hopes to help the Crimson Tide win back-to-back National Championships. He also helped guide Alabama to the Southeastern Conference Championship. Coach Kiffin was a 2014 finalist for the Frank Broyles Award, which is given to the country’s best assistant coach.

You’ve probably heard me say that FAU is “playing to win” in athletics as well as academics, and I am confident that Coach Kiffin will lead our program into a new era of success with Unbridled Ambition™. College football in South Florida is about to be transformed, and the Owls, under Coach Kiffin, will be leading the charge.
