Mark Richt is officially a trendsetter.

When Georgia’s head football coach set up a Twitter account four weeks ago, little did he know a fellow SEC coach would decide to follow in his footsteps in this microblogging craze.

“I was reading coach Richt inserted that and we wanted to make sure that we were doing everything we could that could possibly be a benefit to us,” Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin said in Thursday’s SEC coaches teleconference. “I don’t know if it really helps out in recruiting, but if it does, we’ll try it.”

Kiffin said he doesn’t spend too much time with Twitter, since he has an assistant help him operate the social networking site. But next on the list to join the Twitter phenomenon might be LSU coach Les Miles.

“To be honest I haven’t twittered yet,” Miles said. “I think old school would be something people would call me, but I think they would also say I have the need and want to be on the fast edge when it comes to communicating with our prospects, supporters and fan base. Yeah, I’m going to try to tweet, and what a great name.”

Could some pro-style formations emerge in Florida?

Florida head coach Urban Meyer said he’s looking to expand quarterback Tim Tebow’s versatility by implementing a couple of pro-style formations into the playbook this season.

Meyer said that although Tebow has a Heisman Trophy and two national championships – one as a starter – he still has a few mechanical issues to improve on.

“We want him to play some under center,” Meyer said. “I’d like to have an I-formation package because we have three tailbacks we can still play for the first time since I’ve been here. We’re trying to tighten up his throwing motion a little bit and you can see the difference on the field.”

Meyer hired quarterbacks coach Scot Loeffler, who’s last two stints coaching QBs were with the Detroit Lions and Michigan. Loeffler’s known for teaching pro-style quarterbacks, and Meyer said that may help Tebow out mechanically – since he doesn’t need much help with intangibles.

“The competitiveness, intelligence and toughness – I don’t want to say he’s maxed out – but obviously he’s as good as there is,” Meyer said. “But fundamentally, he improved [this spring], and there are some other things he needs to work on.”
