Went to the event last night. Very well organized. Nice crowd. This is an event where fau is exposed to the public. Many for the first time. The coaches presant presented themselves very well. Dressed in quality fau gear. Going table to table greeting and thanking fans. All but one. One showed up. Dressed like he forgot about the event. Spoke to no fans. Texted more than my daughter.I'm not an over sensation guy, but this one coach needs to remember that 24 hours a day, he represents fau. Kind of embarrassing to fau. Oh well. We got what we got. Thanks to the baseball, softball, and basketball coaches for being so classy.Posted On: Jun 5th 2019, 6:18 AM #386735
Aw c'mon, he was texting trying to get some late WR transfers!

And that person has done more to raise the visibility of FAU and FAU Football in two years than the 17 years before he was here so I am pretty damn happy we got what we got. I don’t give a crap what he wears.
GO OWLS!

I agree that his name has brought us recognition. But these events are designed to spread the fau brand to people with limited knowledge of our programs. This was a business related event. I guess I was amazed because it was something I would never do.Posted On: Jun 5th 2019, 10:33 AM #386739
I will say one thing… your criticism of players and coaches is consistent lol

Also he is on the record of saying he likes that he can blend in in Boca and South Florida. He isn't into the shaking hands and kissing babies part of being a college HC. If that is one of his faults I will take it.

He came directly from the boat…it is what it is!
Besides, it gives people something to talk about

I came by boat also. But actually wore shorts. Look, he was representing fau. If his bosses are ok with it, if that is the impression they want to give, go for it. Just not my style. The other coaches looked and behaved professional.Posted On: Jun 5th 2019, 1:13 PM #386745
That look does a lot of good for FAU. He is selling the whole ocean theme of FAU.
If you ever read CFB Reddit (a national college football forum) there has been a thread on Lane's laid back look in the past at event last year and fans around the country thought it was great.
Lane is a laid back guy and I love he can be himself here. Lane has never been about "coach speak" and putting up this whole persona of being someone he is not.
And like Rick said "give us something to talk about" Lane is great at PR and keeping his program in the news. He wears a polo and kaki's no one pays attention.
