After leading FAU to a school record 10 wins in his first season as head coach, Lane Kiffin has agreed to sign a 10-year contract extension.

Chad Morris was the highest paid G5 coach this past year as he earned just above $2 million a year before leaving to become Arkansas’ new head coach. While the exact amount of the contract has yet to be announced, I expect this new deal will make Kiffin the highest paid head coach in the Group of Five.

It’s only been a year since Lane Kiffin arrived in Boca Raton and the transformation of not only the football program, but the FAU community itself since Kiffin’s arrival has been tremendous.
