per the Palm Beach Post:
New Florida Atlantic coach Lane Kiffin, divisive as he can be, has found a new fan in Miami hip-hop and football icon Luther Campbell.
“He’s a rock star!” Campbell says of the first-year FAU coach.
Campbell, along with other Miami high school coaches, was on hand to watch FAU practice Saturday at Liberty City’s Charles Hadley Park. The practice was the third on the road the Owls have taken since spring 201t6, though the first in Miami.
Kiffin, who said after the Carter Park practice that he’d be open to expanding practices south of Broward, then began working on setting something up for Hadley Park. Vocal support from Campbell on Twitter, including a June tweet about bringing the team to Miami, helped increase the chances of a trip to Liberty City.
When asked about Campbell’s “role” earlier this week, Kiffin deadpanned, “I’m not sure what his role is” but complimented Campbell for his attempts to get involved with FAU.
“He’s come to a number of our practices, so I hope he’s there,” Kiffin said. “It’s good to get to (areas like Miami) so people can come see FAU football.”
