LSU head football coach Lane Kiffin has once again found himself trending online and this time, it has nothing to do with play-calling or recruiting.
Kiffin has made headlines throughout his career for his comfort around female student-athletes, and his move to Baton Rouge has only intensified that reputation.
Earlier this year, he was photographed with members of the LSU cheer squad before and after a yoga session something he has done regularly, both at LSU and during his time at Ole Miss.
This week, however, attention shifted to Dekkers, a talented tennis player from the Netherlands who represents LSU at the collegiate level.
That short clip was enough to send social media into a frenzy. One fan exploded with the viral reaction, “He can’t keep getting away with this.”
Beyond the online buzz, Kiffin enters the 2026 season facing significant expectations. Despite bringing in more than 40 transfers and securing several major commitments.
He has reshaped his staff with notable hires, including Charlie Weis Jr. as offensive coordinator and Nick Savage as his strength coach. But in Baton Rouge, success is, not TikTok appearances.
For now, though, the internet is far more interested in his pickleball partner than his playbook.
