Does anyone really know why? Saban not get along with him?

Here's my guess. Saban graduates coaches just like football players. Kiffin has been a head coach he just needed some career rehabing. Saban and Alabama did that and at some point its time for him to venture out on his own and sink or swim. He missed out on some HC positions last year and then again this year. At some point you just have to put pride aside and take a "lesser" position to prove you have what it takes for a bigger one. He will do a 3 year stint at FAU and if he proves himself move up again.
