On Wednesday he explained why on the heels of the show\u2019s seven-episode drop this week.<\/a><\/p>\n\u201cTo each their own. I\u2019ve just never been a fan of those things when they come in and over years of watching them I just think it\u2019s really hard for coaches to not be phony in that,\u201d Kiffin said. \u201cWhen there\u2019s a camera in front of you and you know it\u2019s going to be on air and and then your players.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think we\u2019re unique in how we are and it\u2019s a big part of what we tell the guys. What you see is what you get here, you know, and recruiting. We don\u2019t recruit one way and then coach a different way. I just never wanted the cameras in there and all of a sudden, this position coach thinks, \u2018Oh, here\u2019s my shot for every (athletic director) to see me and what a great coach I am,\u2019 and they start talking differently than they normally do in coaching.\u201d<\/p>\n
The show does take the cameras inside those meeting rooms as well as the coaches homes and apartments of players. From reports of people who have seen the entire series there is not a lot the SEC did not allow to be aired, including a NIL-esque discussion about LSU trying to retain Garrett Nussmeier for 2025.<\/p>\n
Ole Miss has its own similar documentary show The Season: Ole Miss Football that airs during the regular season ESPNU or other ESPN networks. <\/p>\n
But for Kiffin, who does come from that Nick Saban coaching tree, less was more in terms of not having so many camera lenses throughout the practice facilities and on trips for road games.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve just always been against it,\u201d Kiffin added. \u201cI know it makes a little money and fills people\u2019s ego to be on TV and stuff. I just look at it from a team perspective. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s good, but that\u2019s just me.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Netflix released its latest sports documentary series SEC Football: Any Given Saturday, highlighting the Southeastern Conference this week…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":270450,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[7,5987,49,48,25561,899,1788],"class_list":{"0":"post-270449","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ncaa-football","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-lane-kiffin-94-jefferson","10":"tag-ncaa","11":"tag-ncaa-football","12":"tag-ole-miss-rebels-football","13":"tag-ole-miss","14":"tag-regwall"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114990577378957099","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/270449","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=270449"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/270449\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/270450"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=270449"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=270449"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=270449"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
