Which melts are more incredible: Ole Miss or national media types?

For example: Lane Kiffin shows the college football world he is who we thought he was, and that's not good

The general trend in this media melt is the dishonesty that Ole Miss is a major program and a title contender this year. For instance, from this article:

quote:

It could’ve stopped with the Rebels, the squad he transformed into a national championship contender when few thought such a thing possible -- and the university that transformed him into a coveted candidate when few would have believed it. Squeezed between the SEC power to the East, Alabama, and the other to the West, LSU, he made the Rebels into 2025’s best football team in the Deep South.

At Oxford, he could have remained for years and been unchallenged by social media strategists, and bossy boosters. He would’ve owned the town like no one since Faulkner. and he would’ve made more money than he could count.

The road to the top of college football, or at least to the players likely to carry a program there, will be less treacherous at LSU than it has been for him in Mississippi. But that is the only element of the position that will carry less danger.

These media types are fricking losers and they always show it in situations like this. They basically want Kiffin to remain in a place where he has no chance of winning a title, and they're willing to lie about his chances because of the feels.

Here is the biggest pussy of them all, Dan Wolken, with his hilarious satire of modern media: Lane Kiffin's disastrous exit from Ole Miss spells a much deeper problem in college football

One of the teams that has unofficially qualified for that playoff by every traditional metric is the University of Mississippi. Lane Kiffin, the coach who led Ole Miss to that 11-1 record and the best regular season in its post-integration history, resigned Sunday to become the head coach at LSU.

He left after a protracted tug-of-war with administrators at Ole Miss about whether he could coach the team in the playoff while simultaneously leading a historical rival and direct competitor that plays Ole Miss annually. And because Kiffin didn’t get exactly what he wanted — there was simply no way Ole Miss officials could let him coach their team (and potentially recruit their players) for the next month — he did his level best to burn the place to the ground, reportedly issuing ultimatums to his staff that they needed to leave with him immediately or they wouldn’t be welcome in Baton Rouge.

1. Engage in the dishonesty over-valuing Ole Miss and their chances this year

2. Engage in secondary-level dishonesty by promoting misinformation from Ole Miss

Kiffin leaving the No. 7 team in the country to take a job with another SEC program before the sport’s marquee event is bad for the product, and no other well-run sports league would tolerate it.

Yet in all the years of listening to administrators like Sankey fret about the unsustainability of the current model and wring their hands about how fans will react if college athletes got paid like professionals or the harm done to bowl games when players opt out, have you heard even a whisper of concern about what the adults are doing to wreck the legitimacy of their sport?

Why does anyone in college football accept this as a normal cost of doing business when it crushes a fan base, sabotages a team and devalues your playoff?

The SEC is a league where a Tennessee coach was once served a subpoena at media days, an Ole Miss coach was fired for calling an escort service on his university phone and an Alabama coach lasted only four months after an unfortunate night at a strip club.

But none of them have done more damage to their profession, the reputation of their conference and the image of the sport than Kiffin walking out on a playoff team and dragging a wrecking ball behind him.

I was iffy about the Kiffin hire but did enjoy the spectacle of the three team competition creating bantz. However, this Woke-in article just made everything so clear. I literally did not think this level of melt was possible, let alone from a disinterested party.

His comparisons and arguments are on the level of the poli board. I am legit wondering who the audience is for this shite. This is writing for emotional women, who are unlikely to give a shite about a football coach leaving (Especially during Christmas season). Is this the classic "sports writer who hates sports because they're not actual journalists so they hope by shitting on them they gain fans in a media form they consider legitimate" meme?
