Lane Kiffin and Eli Drinkwitz are 2 of the more active SEC coaches on social media, and often trade jabs over fashion and culture and anything that can gain them more engagement, especially among recruits.

Kiffin opened the exchange since both are set to be at the podium later Monday at the SEC Media Days. “What you got today (Eli Drinkwitz)?”

Drinkwitz replied, “Those are cute, but everyone knows 2022 is the “Year of the Tiger.”

Last season, Kiffin coined the term “Sweater Man” to Drinkwitz after a fan noted that Kiffin was the “best dressed head coach in the SEC” after the Rebels coach was sporting a sharp-looking navy suit, stylish sunglasses, and royal blue tennis shoes. Drinkwitz responded with rat poison emojis.

Kiffin also started a tradition each week last year with John Rhys Plumlee as they posted a picture in the pregame, typically with a sharp suit or bow tie.

As they continue into the SEC Media Days experience, look for more social media engagement from Drinkwitz and Kiffin.
