Sydney Thomas stirred up quite the social media frenzy when she revealed that an SEC football coach slid into her DMs. “It was from another SEC football team coach, and they just DM’d me, ‘Roll Tide,'” Thomas shared. “I’m not going to say what coach it was, but they’re an Alabama fan, now at least. We’ll let everyone else figure that out for themselves, who it was.”

Amidst all this, let’s not forget that Antonio Brown recently stirred the pot by accusing Saban’s ex-OC, Lane Kiffin, of contacting ring girl Sydney Thomas on social media. That’s just some wild guess game.

This tweet instantly sparks speculation, with fans quickly jumping to conclusions. As the internet blows up over the claim, everyone’s left wondering if Kiffin really made his move or if this is just another case of Brown causing chaos. Knowing Kiffin’s history with Bama, as he was the offensive coordinator and quarterback coach from 2014 to 2016, some people started to speculate about his potential involvement. But now, the former GOAT Alabama HC is entering the conversation. For now, fans are going gaga over this!

This looks like a fun outing, and they certainly seem to be enjoying their golf game. But you have to wonder what Mrs. Saban thinks about all this.
