"What an exciting time," Lane Kiffin said without the slightest semblance of excitement in a Florida Atlantic University promotional video.

In the above "hype" video leading up to Wednesday's national signing day, the new Owls head coach looks and sounds like a student forced to read aloud to the entire class. His voice stays monotone and unenthusiastic while he attempts to persuade fans to buy tickets for a promising season.

After Kiffin's rousing speech, some Twitter users could not contain their elation:

Perhaps the wound of Alabama unceremoniously dumping him before the College Football Playoff still hurts. Or maybe he's camera-shy. Nevertheless, he didn't quite outwardly display eagerness for a fresh start with the Conference USA school.
