Lane Kiffin is already putting together a solid staff at FAU.

It was reported earlier today that Kiffin was hiring his brother, Chris Kiffin — Ole Miss’ defensive line coach, as his defensive coordinator, and now, Football Scoop is reporting that Alabama staff member Mike Locksley is heading to FAU to become the Owls’ offensive coordinator.

The former Maryland offensive coordinator and New Mexico head coach served as an offensive analyst for Nick Saban’s staff in Tuscaloosa this year.

Locksley is known as a solid offensive coach, but he’s a great recruiter. And hiring Locksley would be a big win for Kiffin in Boca Raton.

It was also reported yesterday that Kiffin was hiring Alabama’s assistant conditioning coach Wilson Love, and Locksley would be the second.

So, the big question is how will it affect Alabama moving forward?

It’s unlikely that Locksley would have gotten a look at replacing Lane Kiffin as the Tide’s new offensive coordinator, but losing a staffer of Locksley’s caliber certainly doesn’t help, although he wasn’t serving in an on-field coaching role. When teams have as many off-the-field staff members as Alabama, there will be turnover nearly every year. Add to that the staff members’ learning under Nick Saban, the demand becomes even greater.

UPDATE: According to Bruce Feldman of FOX Sports, the report of Locksley to FAU is not accurate.
