Watch Coach of the Year Finalist Lane Kiffin and his Florida Atlantic team wipe out Akron in the Boca Raton Bowl at 7 tonight, December 19, on ESPN.

His team accomplished the following:
- one of three FBS schools to average 250+ yards rushing and 200+ yards passing per game
- Only 17 FBS teams in 2017 averaged more trips to the red zone
- Only 10 teams had 2 or more first downs a higher % of drives
- FAU was the most efficient 3rd down team in the country
- Only 7 FBS teams had a higher % of good plays, 10 yards or more or score a touchdown.
- Only 3 FBS schools had more first downs
- Only 13 teams had more pass completions plus rush attempts
- Only 7 FBS teams had a higher offensive line efficiency rating

Listen, Johnny Majors wanted Lane. If not for Fulmer's feuds with the guy he replaced and the guy who replaced him, Tennessee football would be the talk of the nation for years to come. Instead, we are once again going to be stuck in mediocrity with a novice coach and a current recruiting class ranked 53rd as we speak.

How many kids do you two have together? And does Donnie Tyndall know?

Reading the interview, he seems to be really happy there. Good for him and I hope he does continue to find happiness in his life.

There’s a reason Kiffin didn’t get hired by anyone else looking for a coach. Just because your drug dealing, cash stealing, lying, cheating ex-girlfriend lost a bit of weight, it doesn’t mean you take her back lol.

Seriously? The cheating ex girlfriend analogy is overused and really lazy.....

It is literally nothing like Lane and UT's history.

It is truly sad how many grown adults are butthurt over a sport.

I don’t have an issue with Lane. Honestly I think he’s a good coach and would do well here; it’s fun to watch his teams excel at FAU. I just don’t see the point in whining because he’s not here now. It’s not hard to see why UT wouldn’t want him back.

Hard to believe he'd do that with all these other schools beating his door down to hire him away...


That's sarcasm, in case you can't tell.

No one is whining. Had we had a legit coaching search, Lane coming back made no sense. However, after the Schiano nonsense where UT was a laughingstock (not that I care what national media think), hiring Lane would have made perfect sense. Hell, once we got to the point of Doeren saying no, Lane coming back would have united a big portion of the fan base in the players, students, and younger fans.

Do I think he is going to be at FAU for 10 years? No. But I do think he is about to go on a Petersen/Boise State run over the next 5-7 years.

Good for Kiffin. He's shown that he's mature just by the quotes in the story posted by OP.

Just think its funny that people are butthurt over Lane when the same people would do the exact same thing if they were in his shoes and their dream job came open.

AS one guy wrote, his work history in reverse is more believable than his actual work history.

Deals, signatures, contracts... means nothing anymore in the grand scheme. If Kiffin is at FAU for 10 years I will eat my hat

Listen, Donnie "ButterBean" Tyndell is going to be upset that your new fascination with Kiffin is going to detract from your obsession with him.

Hopefully you and your therapist are making strides in your grief recovery over UT (or any other school for that matter) not hiring Kiffin.

As usual, you have nothing concrete to say.

Better to say nothing and have people......applicable.

Wait a second...I thought we had better snatch him up as our next head coach quickly, before some other big school does. Because he's so much in demand? Remember that?
