It looks like Arkansas has some very real interest in FAU head coach Lane Kiffin.
The world of college football was put on high alert when whispers started coming out about Arkansas officials being in Boca Raton, which is where Kiffin is currently located. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)
Arkansas fans have been tracking planes all day. After doing some digging, the search team led by Hunter Yurachek and Jon Fagg is indeed hopping around talking to candidates. They were in Boca Raton today, per two sources. More interviews scheduled.

Now, it’s been confirmed by CBS Sports that athletic director Hunter Yurachek was indeed in Boca Raton to meet with the former USC head coach.
If the hype train for Kiffin to Fayetteville wasn’t already going 100 mph, it damn sure should be now.
Kiffin needs to return to the big stage. It just has to happen. We don’t have a choice as fans. It’s just what the universe demands.
The good news is that Florida State has also reportedly already vetted the former Alabama OC. Even if Arkansas were to eventually pass, it would appear like Kiffin is going back to the big stage somewhere.
As a college football fanatic, there’s nothing that would make me happier than seeing Kiffin back on national television every Saturday and in the spotlight.
The man is a content machine, and him being to the same side of the SEC as Nick Saban would provide at least one yearly must-watch game.
Go, Lane, go! The whole world of college football is riding with you!
