Lane Kiffin just agreed to coach FAU through 2027, for what it’s worth

With one game remaining in the best season in FAU football history, some Lane Kiffin news from the man himself:

The former three-time head coach has pulled off likely his best job ever this year, taking the Owls from a streak of 3-9 seasons to their first-ever 10-win year, with a likely win over Akron at home in the Boca Raton Bowl still to go.

Though Kiffin’s name was hot during coaching carousel season — he openly teased Tennessee fans throughout — and there’s certainly reason to believe he would’ve jumped on a top Power 5 offer, he’s now set to remain at FAU in 2018 anyway, so why not tack some years on the deal?

Kiffin’s FAU imported tons of blue-chips and stormed to a Conference USA title with one of the country’s most entertaining offenses. Every step of the way, he’s remained entirely himself (this is where one would usually say, “for better or for worse,” but if you’re into college football as entertainment, there’s not much of a “worse”), becoming college football Twitter’s single best personality.

The Lane Train rides again, apparently!
