Lane Kiffin is not one to waste an opportunity.

That's why the Florida Atlantic head coach didn't pass up a chance, as remote as it may be, to try to lure Lamar Jackson to the Owls.

Kiffin saw a tweet the Louisville quarterback made about his mother and hoped Jackson, a Florida native, might be interested in returning home.

The pitch seemed like a good-natured joke, but you can't blame Kiffin for trying.
