LSU Tigers head coach Lane Kiffin channeled his inner Scottie Scheffler on Thursday at SEC Media Days in Tampa. <\/p>\n

LSU Tigers head coach Lane Kiffin is obviously no stranger to going viral (though he\u2019s had a somewhat quiet summer \u2014 likely due to his decision to quit social media). <\/p>\n

And as expected, a couple of Kiffin\u2019s quotes from Thursday at SEC Media Days are going viral. <\/p>\n

One of the quotes, however, especially stood out because it sounds exactly like something Scottie Scheffler said last week before playing in The Open. <\/p>\n

Scheffler was asked whether he plays for his place in golf history. <\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t really play for a place in history,\u201d said Scheffler. \u201cI\u2019m not playing for anything like that. It\u2019s gonna sound a little morbid, but at the end of the day, I\u2019m gonna live my life, and then it\u2019s gonna end. And when it ends, I\u2019m going somewhere else, and I\u2019m not going to be here anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kiffin dropped a similar quote on Thursday morning. <\/p>\n

\u201cI watched the Hulk Hogan special,\u201d said Kiffin. \u201cAnd I realized, \u2018We\u2019re all gonna die.\u2019 And so some of the things that we worry about, and what this person says, really aren\u2019t gonna matter. And when I lost my dad, I started thinking that. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was growing up, there were two people that I thought just wouldn\u2019t die: my dad and Hulk Hogan. And then I watched that special, and Hulk Hogan died. There was no way Hulk Hogan was ever gonna not wrestle and die, and he did. And so it just made me reflect really on that I can\u2019t be so concerned about little things and what people say.\u201d<\/p>\n

What is it with pro athletes and coaches being morbidly reflective lately? <\/p>\n
