ESPN’s Brett McMurphy adds that Kiffin will remain with Alabama until their season is officially over.

Kiffin has a big task ahead of him. He takes over a team that went just 3-9 in 2016, finishing in a tie for last in Conference USA’s East division. He’s still a big name for a football program that has only existed for 15 years and has just two bowl appearances to its name.

There were rumors of a late snag in negotiations between Kiffin and FAU, but it appears they have been overcome.
