BOCA RATON, Fla. -- Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin is being pursued by Florida Atlantic to become the Owls next head coach.Kiffin and the Owls have had discussions, and Kiffin is weighing his options, sources told ESPNs Chris Low on Friday.FAUs interest in Kiffin was first reported by Football Scoop.A source close to the situation told ESPNs Kirk Herbstreit that Kiffin was near an agreement Friday for a head-coaching job with an unidentified school but that negotiations stalled. Kiffin will consider the offensive coordinator position at LSU under Ed Orgeron as he sorts out his options, the source said.Kiffin has been the offensive?coordinator at Alabama for three seasons, including 2016, helping the Crimson Tide win last seasons national championship and get back to the College Football Playoff with the No. 1 ranking this year.He has been frequently mentioned for other jobs, and the former USC, Tennessee and?Oakland Raiders?head coach was believed to be a candidate for the now-filled head-coaching openings at Oregon and Houston in recent days.Alabama coach Nick Saban recently acknowledged he wants to help Kiffin get a chance to lead a program again.Weve had conversations about it, Saban said. He wants to be a head coach. I want him to be a head coach. I want to help him get a head-coaching job.The rest of it, we have not discussed, and I dont think its the right time.Landing Kiffin would be a major coup for FAU, which fired Charlie Partridge last month after going 3-9 in each of the last three seasons. The Owls havent been to a bowl game since making back-to-back appearances under Howard Schnellenberger in 2007 and 2008.Since those bowl years, FAU is 28-67.Even being in the conversation with Kiffin means FAU is willing to make a serious salary upgrade. Partridge had two years left on what was a five-year, $2.7 million deal with FAU. Kiffin is making $1.4 million this season at Alabama.Kiffin lasted 20 games with the Raiders in 2007 and 2008, going 5-15. In 2009, his lone season at Tennessee, he was 7-6. And he went 28-15 in three-plus seasons at USC, getting fired after five games of the 2013 season.He went to Alabama the following year and has been an annual fixture in coaching-opening whispers since.Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.
