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-Top25 Orange Air Max 97 Shop .

The BCCI has authorised its president Anurag Thakur and secretary Ajay Shirke to look into the legal ramifications of the Supreme Court verdict that approved the Lodha Committees recommendations and guide the board and its member units. While there was no official statement from the BCCI, sources that attended the meeting confirmed that Thakur and Shirke will, in conjunction with the newly formed legal panel, engage with the Lodha Committee, and they will represent the concerns of the state associations as well.This (Lodha Committee verdict) was the single-point agenda, and it was one [short, focused meeting] that lasted about half an hour to 45 minutes, a state association official from the east zone told ESPNcricinfo. The BCCI has the legal cell. We as a state association dont know the legal aspects but somebody has to take care of such things. So, the SGM was called to authorise the secretary and the president to look into it. Concerns of individual state associations were not discussed; it was [a discussion] on the whole as reforms are meant for everybody.Another official from a southern state said state associations had been instructed to direct their legal queries to the boards lawyers who will advise them on the future course of action. According to him, however, the boards first task would be to seek clarifications regarding its own functioning.On Augustt 9, the president and secretary are supposed to meet the Lodha Committee, the official said.dddddddddddd. The first priority is clarifications regarding the BCCI, only then will state associations come into the picture. Clarifications on all matters - when should the constitution be amended and how, the recommendations, and we also have the AGM coming up in September - will be sought.While there has been speculation that the BCCI is inclined to file a review petition challenging the Supreme Courts verdict, the official said it was a decision the president and secretary would make based on the legal advice they get. There will be greater clarity once they meet the Lodha Committee on the ninth, he said.The official also said there was no instruction from the board regarding elections of the Karnataka State Cricket Association and the Cricket Association of Bengal. The Lodha Committee had directed the CAB and KSCA to put their polls - scheduled for July 31 and August 7 respectively - on hold. The BCCI will give its opinion on it. There will be more clarity after they discuss with the Lodha Committee. We are not going to raise anything as far as state associations are concerned, let the BCCI do. The states will fall in place thereafter.
