As much as I like to see OM squirm, that’s about as frivolous as frivolous can be.
I don’t know the player, but when I went to MSU the last thing I expected the university to do was to tend to my mental health. I do hope he’s ok, but a Federal law suit? Maybe he learned what Ole Miss and Colonel Reb actually stand for.
Did they know this was coming and preemptively put a very public emphasis on mental health?

If there's one thing Ole Miss boosters are familiar with, it's frivolous lawsuits.
Man, if you actually read that, Kiffen comes across as a really bad guy.
And this is the type of thing for which we’d be crucified in the press. I have no sympathy. Hope it gets ugly for him.

You think? All I read was that he was having mental health issues before last season, and he claims Kiffin kicked him off the team, but he’s still listed on the roster. There’s no details at all, really.
When I was at USM 15 years ago, they offered mental health counseling to students at no cost. I’m sure it wasn’t unlimited, but I always thought that was kinda cool. I’m sure that State and Ole Miss do the same thing.
Yeah, the conversation where he has asked for a mental health break and Kiffen calls him a ***** (p word, since we apparently can’t say that here) isn’t going to go over well.
Maybe he is, and maybe he isn’t, but if you’re Kiffen in 2023 you can’t do that.
The player legally recorded a conversation with Kiffin without Kiffin's knowledge. Mississippi is a one-party state.
I can't speak for the conditions at State, but I know a therapist at Alabama who says they cannot meet the demand from the students. Mental health is just so readily talked about and accepted these days. A lot of students are diagnosed with depression, ADHD, etc, before they get out of high school. Others are dealing with the normal pressures of college and just decide to talk to someone.
Mental health is becoming a “monkey see, monkey do” type thing. At this point, I’m starting to believe most of these kids are full of crap.
It's not crap. With the scare media, especially in the Covid era, we're raising a generation of terrified kids.
Honestly, kiffin ain’t wrong.
1st off I don’t disagree with kiffen just from this small snippet.
2nd off really dumb move on kiffens part in 2023 victim media world!
One thing we know: When Ole Miss people "adopt" All-Americans and provide mental health training out of the goodness of their hearts, they're full of ****.
If this sticks coach Prime will be sued at least 50 times the week after the ruling**
I guess that's a party Ole Miss didn't win.
I don’t think that’s a terrible look for Kiffen. Sue me.
Whether it does or it doesn’t don’t make a ****(s word). A few idiots that get too excited over cable news may get excited about it but Mississippi &/or kiffin can absorb this without missing a beat. The kid’s probably a t-wat anyways. And to the kid, toughen up and go get in a bar fight you little b-itch.

Just to add some context with no judgement, apparently the kid has been on the team for 3 years prior to the 2023 season. One of 5 HS players remaining from Kiffins 2020 class.
Has been a DT his whole career with very little playing time. Sounds like maybe they were moving him to offense for his RS Junior year?

Ole Miss has a few friends in the media world. Otherwise, their name would be a huge problem considering you can't even say Master Bedroom.
I prefer the way gen X was raised. You’re sad? No one cares. You’re angry? No one cares. Deal with that **** on your own.
Half serious, half joking. I do believe we need a little more “toughen up, buttercup”, but at the same time if someone comes to you complaining of issues like this you can’t just call them a feline.

Even if it is frivolous, anything that brings any kind of misery to those clowns makes me smile!
This is the point. Let’s not lose focus arguing our own personal feelings gentlemen. Focus on what is really important here.
Exactly.
In all seriousness, let’s take your statement at face value.
“If most of the kids are full of crap” then that means you’re admitting that there are kids who need help.
And you’re actually making the case in favor of the football player here
I expect Ole Miss and Kiffin to settle.
And Kiffin will have to curb his mouth about this subject in the future.
