This doesn't mean that he isn't leaving after next year. It just means FAU will get paid when he leaves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that everybody who made the trip enjoys their time in Boca, and I hope for a clean and injury-free game. I am heading to the stadium now. As for the buyout, we already had a buyout clause on him what would have practically given us Kiffin's services for "free" if he left during the first 2 years. I certainly haven't seen the details of this, but my guess is the length of the contract is specifically to balloon that buyout figure. G5 programs should understand this is where we are at - we either get coaches on the back-half of their careers and hope they are good ones (like you guys with Bowden and Amato), or we get guys who are rising up and using us as stepping stones. FAU has gone all-in on embracing the success for as long as it lasts, and the buyout will be what is used to bridge the gap into hiring the next guy. That is a different place from where the program has ever been, and is primarily driven by our President who gets that football can be good for the school (he is a former Clemson guy). Sorry - bit of a ramble. Hope you guys have a good holiday season and I'll be back to either wish you luck going forward if FAU wins or to congratulate you if we don't. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zipsoutsider Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 (edited) When we upset the Owls, their fans will be more stunned than the Steeler fans were after they were robbed by the officials of home field advantage on Sunday.

Bruce Willis Drummond Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 ESPN is doing lots of Lane Kiffin puffing leading up to this game. I pray that after the game they are talking about the Zips. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
