Even though he’s busy in Tuscaloosa with Peach Bowl prep, outgoing offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin found time to address Florida Atlantic season ticket holders – and all his Twitter followers – in a letter posted Friday night.
Highlights of the letter include referring to Alabama as pinnacle of college football, stating a desire to be FAU’s best coach in its young history and revealing that he will donate to scholarship funds and send fans an autographed photo if they purchase season tickets.

Kiffin accepted the FAU job Monday and was formally introduced as the Owls’ head coach the following day. Alabama named analyst Steve Sarkisian as its next offensive coordinator on Friday, but Nick Saban reiterated at his press conference that Kiffin will stay on as play-caller through the Crimson Tide’s postseason.
