It seems that the dominoes that would have to fall for Matt Canada were no longer in place last week. Lane Kiffin did not get the Houston head coaching job. Kiffin was the favorite choice — by all reports — to be the OC under non-interim HC Ed Orgeron. Kiffin was ready to leave Alabama and they were ready for him to go.
Instead, Kiffin took a pay cut and will be the new head coach at Florida Atlantic.
Kiffin’s salary at FAU will average in the $1 million range annually, according to sources.
