Lane Kiffin gets 6-year contract extension before Florida Atlantic wins bowl
Lane Kiffin’s first bowl game at Florida Atlantic was the perfect microcosm of his first season with the Owls. Slow start. Super finish.
FAU rolled past Akron 50-3 in the Boca Raton Bowl in Florida on Tuesday night — ending the season on a 10-game winning streak, and with Kiffin having agreed to terms on an extension that, in theory, would keep him at FAU for another 10 years.
“Just an unbelievable day,” Kiffin said. “Can’t imagine it being better — 50-3. This is a special story.”
The Owls (11-3) had won nine games combined over the past three seasons and were 1-3 in late September.
