Kiffin will take over an Owls team that has gone 3-9 in each of the last three seasons and fired Charlie Partridge last month. FAU is 28-67 since going to back-to-back bowls in 2007 and 2008 under Howard Schnellenberger.

Kiffin was also linked to since-filled openings at Oregon and Houston.

Alabama’s offense has taken serious strides since Kiffin came to Tuscaloosa three seasons ago.
