Gone are the days where having a presence on social media was optional for most major college football coaches. Unless you’re Nick Saban and you basically print a No. 1 recruiting class ranking just by waking up in the morning, you’ve got to have a presence on social media. Even Steve Spurrier recently joined the party!
