Lane Kiffin finished his first spring as Florida Atlantic’s head football coach 10 days ago, and the absence of football has (maybe) allowed him to explore his philosophical side.

In a tweet Tuesday afternoon, Kiffin pondered the origin of the word sand, asking “Is sand called sand because it is between the sea and the land???? #owlup.”

Kiffin’s thought went viral, accumulating more than 1,400 retweets and 1,800 likes just 45 minutes after the tweet.

Over the weekend, Kiffin asked three more questions, tagging Chase Moabery (@chasemoabery) in his tweets. Moabery is FAU trustee Abdol Moabery’s son.
