Kiffin says he is sticking at FAU

Coach Bill Lewis · November 18, 2017

“You are not going to get Coach Speak here," Kiffin said. "When I say I'm happy here, that's what every coach says. But I really am. It's a very unique situation: A) we have a great team, B) a ton of them come back, almost the whole team comes back. And we love living here. There's a family element that's awesome. My dad's here. My brother's a coordinator. Mom's here. My brother's four kids. We've got a president that wants football to win, came from Clemson and envisions this place being like Clemson some day."

He’s got moving vans ready.

Well, I hope he's serious. Best case scenario is both Kiffen and Littrell stay in conference for several years to come. I think Liffen is probably interested in proving he can coach at the P5 level again but I'm not sure that's next year. We'll see I suppose.

Hahahahahaha

VideoEagle · November 18, 2017

I really think Kiffen is going to look at the jobs that are open and if the right one isn't there, he's staying at FAU. He's experienced what happens when you take the wrong job, even with a great salary. It didn't work out well for him, either time. If he's got a job that works for him now so he doesn't have to jump. Waiting a year to get an extra two or three million (or more) down the road isn't a big deal.

PlummMeanGreen · November 18, 2017

Sure he'd say that until he gets an SEC job offer.

TheColonyEagle · November 18, 2017

And they picked the FAU/FIU game on Gameday picks.

ESPN LOVES Lane Kiffin.

Attendance for the Championship game in Boca Raton will be....2,500. Embarrassing for the conference.

dmaxel · November 18, 2017

A good Miami team also doesn't help with attendance right now.

What is any coach going to say before recruiting date? He will be gone as quick as a better offer arrives.

Unfortunately no one cares about UNT.

Thank god, he said we were going to have 2,500. The fact of the matter who cares? I did my part I buy a ticket I bring friends. I am for firing the AD. On a side note after that game you guys are ALL over our record book!! Thanks!

southsideguy · November 22, 2017

I guess that is why we play the game, to see what happens. Glad you bought a ticket.

Ooooooh yeah, sacrifice that game so you can spring a trap in the CCG!! Good strategy! I am looking for a good game.

On a serious note, I'd like us to come out and play our type of football, and see what happens. I think FAU has more skill at most positions, but we melted there last game and had no chance of recovering after the first quarter.

The game that happen last time was not the game I was expecting. I am worried about playing a team twice, that is always difficult. We both have great offenses. I think we still win 42-28 (my prediction for every game) just for the simple fact that you guys give up a ton of points. We will make more stops or force more FG's on defense. Around the middle of the 3rd quarter Motor just becomes too much. Its been a fun year, wouldn't mind having a yearly rematch with you guys in the CCG for the next several years while we both dominate our divisions.
