If you truly know college football - Kiffin to FAU makes a lot of sense ...it's the natural path for him to get back to a big time HC job. A path most others have taken (the trend wasn't always like Kirby and others to top programs as first time HC). And nothing takes away from him being a top paid OC again in the future at any top program. His OC skills are not questioned. FAU is the Only way to prove further that he is beyond why Houston didn't hire him or South Florida (he wanted that job). And we all know why Houston didn't.
Bonus: He furthers his ties into south Florida recruiting. Three or four years at FAU and success that should happen in Conf USA- gets the in state upset shots at some other Florida schools and becomes relevant with the recruiting in South Florida for SEC or ACC jobs ... including Florida , Fl State and Miami one day ... don't discount this. He is young and talented. Hopefully his Past was a lesson and he is beyond "daddy' entitlement issues.
If Petrino can do it - so can he.
