The LSU Tigers football team was one of the more popular programs during SEC Media Days. One of the biggest reasons for that has been the arrival of head coach Lane Kiffin. Kiffin has never been one to shy away from the spotlight. In every stop along his head coaching journey, Kiffin has made waves. Not to mention that the new Tigers head coach is one of the best head coaches in college football at using social media. Well, he was. According to Kiffin, social media may be a thing of the past for him moving forward.

"To be free of that has been interesting, cause you don't compare," said Kiffin. "What I realized, and when I talk to people about now, is if you're not on anything, you don't see anything all day, you don't compare."Social media does seem to bring a lot of negativity out in some people. A lot of that may have to do with comparing oneself to something they see on social media. Everyone has at one point in their life thought of taking a break from social media. It appears Kiffin has been happy with his break.

It's only his first season in Baton Rouge, but many believe Kiffin has already put together a roster that can compete for a national championship. Putting expectations like that on a coach in his first season at a new program seems unfair. But that's the way the world works when everyone is able to see the money the LSU program is building on this team. Staying off social media may be the healthiest thing Coach Kiffin could ever do.Sign up to our free newsletterand follow us on Facebook and X for the latest news.Add us as a preferred source on GoogleFollow
