BOCA RATON, Fla. -- Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin is being pursued by Florida Atlantic to become the Owls next head coach, two people with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press on Friday night.Kiffin and the Owls have had dialogue, said both people, who spoke on condition of anonymity because neither side has spoken publicly about the matter.Kiffin has been the coordinator at Alabama for the last three seasons, 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 also was believed to be a candidate for now-filled head coaching openings at Oregon and Houston in recent days.Alabama coach Nick Saban recently acknowledged that 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.Football Scoop first reported the interest FAU has in Kiffin.Landing Kiffin would be a major coup for FAU, which has gone 3-9 in each of the last three seasons and fired Charlie Partridge last month. 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 some serious salary upgrades. 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. He was 7-6 in 2009, his lone season at Tennessee. And he went 28-15 in parts of four seasons at USC, getting fired five games into the 2013 season.He went to Alabama the following year and has been an annual fixture in coaching-opening whispers since.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25Wholesale Custom Jerseys Authentic .

Custom Jerseys From China . A statement from the worlds top-ranked player says all checks "were satisfactory and showed positive evolution" regarding the injury, which contributed to his loss to Stanislas Wawrinka in the final in Melbourne.Even in the darkest of days - and there were plenty of them as he underwent three knee reconstructions - Clay Smith truly believed he had what it took to make it as an AFL footballer.If only his body would give him a chance to prove it.The wheel has finally turned for the rugged Western Bulldogs utility, who broke last weekends preliminary final against GWS wide open with a stunning four-goal first half.In an epic encounter decided by just six points, the 23-year-old was instrumental in ensuring the Bulldogs earned a spot in the grand final for the first time in 55 years.As a kid growing up I played in a fair few grand finals and I always loved them, Smith told AAP.But I dont think Ive ever kicked that many goals in any of those junior grand finals.I was more of a permanent mid back then because you could run all day when you were 14 and didnt need a break.Some days you get the ball bouncing the wrong way and sometimes it goes the right way.It was nice to get on the end of a few nice bounces on the weekend.The same sentiment could be applied to Smiths stop-start AFL career.He ruptured an anterior cruciate ligamentt for the third time last year, shortly after breaking back into the senior side, necessitating another long stint in rehab.ddddddddddddIve always taken the glass half-full approach and tried to look at things in the right light, he said.Ive always had the support of the club, my family and my fiancee.Coming back after the third knee reco it was at that three or four-game mark where I was nervous because thats where the last ones had gone again.Once I got through that and got back in the AFL side and got some continuity in football and life its worked out fine.Smith returned to the Bulldogs AFL team in round 15 against Sydney and has played the past 12 matches on the trot.A repeat of his four-goal first-half haul against the Giants might be too much to ask for on Saturday against the Swans.But no-one at the Whitten Oval will be in any doubt that Smith will give everything for the cause.Thats what he did every time he was in rehab and thats what he does every time he takes to the field.
