ESPN’s Chris Low reported Tuesday that Kiffin and FAU agreed to a new 10-year deal after Kiffin’s first season with the football program.
Kiffin signed a five-year, $4.5 million contract last December.
Earlier this month, @Lane_Kiffin told me he was stoked about the future at FAU. Well, he's just agreed to a new 10-year deal with the Owls that runs through December 2027. FAU has won 9 in a row and plays Akron tonight in the Cheribundi Tart Cherry Boca Raton Bowl.

In his first season at FAU, the Owls finished 10-3, won the Confernce USA and will play in their first bowl game since 2008 on Tuesday at 7 p.m. in the Boca Raton Bowl.
