It was released to portray Lane in the worst possible light. But the idea that you can disappear for 2 weeks, ignore all communication, but then show up and expect to have everything you left back because you were “depressed” is ridiculous. That kid will never succeed in a marriage, parenting, or in a career if that his operating procedure. And then ask for $40M…

That is a BAD look in today’s world.
I feel that for most people in this shittastic society we endure, the worm has turned and fewer people care how something “looks”. I just want true, unbiased facts and IDGAF what it looks like. If someone is too distraught or depressed to answer a phone call or text from superiors for 2 weeks they should be with clinical professionals, not in a football locker room. 17 how it looks.

I hate ole miss but 17 that DT.

It would be real simple to contact the coach and say “hey coach, I’m having a terrible time right now. I can’t meet with you.”

Hell just text it. Have your mom text it. Your dad. Your friend. Anyone. Then it’s in writing.

Life has consequences even if you are going through a rough time.

Oh, I agree with you. However, the people who control the news cycle are 180 degrees from your point of view. That headline will make the national rounds guaranteed. It’ll blow over, but at the very least Kiffin opened himself up for some tough questions on mama’s couch.

I would like to announce that due to this football season, I will be filing a lawsuit against MSU for cruel and unusual punishment. I will be seeking...

Agreed.
Part of me loves for these challenges to arise and see the bullish!t gloves come off.

Another part wants to see the confederates mercilessly embarrassed by this. It’s a complex issue.

Exactly. I have little sympathy for the player. I don't think Kiffin is guilty of anything other than maybe a little stupidity in how he's handled it.

As heartless as he might sound, Lane is right.
He is solidifying his legacy. He will be bigger than Vaught, the Bear, and the Great Satan, when he's finished.
But one question remains: -- will he stay in Oxford for the coronation?

Yep.

I know most of y’all DNGA17 about procedural stuff when it comes to higher education and mental illness but Ole Miss’s folks are most likely having headaches about this…

Everything is litigious. Ole Miss has no choice but to play this by the book even more. And now they can’t just say that the coach denied saying things if there’s a tape out there (that defense is the usual course of action by folks in authority in university settings like coaches and professors).

Ok then, let me ask?
Just what is coaching staff supposed to do, when a player is not coming to practice, and or participating with the team?
Just let them hang out?

100% believe that people have mental health issues that must be dealt with, that being said there is zero excuse for no communication. I also 100% believe many now use it as an excuse because its easy, and this day and age hard to dispute.......just like COVID. (I still hear almost weekly someone blaming COVID on lack of production).

What Kiffin should have done was to let a friendly doctor give him a medical redshirt to not be on the football team and honor the scholarship.

Simple as that.

Probably, but I suspect there has been more to their conversations, than this tape.
This was just a snap shot.

Oh I’m sure there’s more.

Kiffin should have just played it straight and acted “out of concern” for the football player.

And what could the player do in that scenario?

Preaching to the choir here.

That said, students expect to get pushback from folks in authority — especially those people they see often.

So students tend to try to be silent and keep it to themselves.

I would not be shocked if the football player goes this route that he wanted to just stay away because he knew he’d get grief from Kiffin…

If true, even more of a puzzy. Dude, you play D1 football. You no likely yelling or cursing? Get on the mutha17in chess team.

Oh, wait, you’re no longer a campus hero and get all the co-ed poon you want playing chess.

I realize comparative stresses and obligations are unfair, but if someone doesn’t tell this kid he’s never ever going to feel as good and have it as good as he has it right now as a college athlete, his mental health is going to really plague him as he ages and enters the sh!tty world the rest of us live in.

Lane’s issue with that audio is that he called the player a pu$$y and accused him of “hiding behind $h!t” so he wouldn’t have to work.

If he’d have calmly explained to him that he was being removed from the team for not showing up or meeting with his coaches, he’d be 100% OK.

So y’all hear me out… should the player be treated as an employee?

I feel like the big argument in favor of Kiffin is that the player couldn’t disappear for 2 weeks “in the real world”, but the other side of that is Kiffin cussing and essentially calling the player a рussy wouldn’t fly “in the real world” either.

Is there a man on this board that would take that from their boss without repercussion?
