Kiffin never should have gotten involved with this. Should have let the kid's position coach or the team shrink handle it. Now Kiffin gets some stink on him, will be interesting to see if he settles, I think the kid wants $40mil, would probably settle for less than 5.

I’ve had mental health issues that have caused me to take time off work. You have to go through the proper channels. You can’t just not show up to work. You need your psychiatric care practitioners to document the issue and then work with your company’s disability insurance. Or in a student’s case, the appropriate equivalent at the university.

I don’t like dismissing anyone with mental health issues as a snowflake. I also don’t like people using mental health as a crutch/excuse when things don’t go their way and weaponizing it.

True sufferers of mental illness do not want to flaunt it to get specialized treatment. In fact, it is extremely embarrassing and we just want to be given enough resources to be able to function at an acceptable level.

That said Kiffin does come across as incredibly insensitive and his response would not fly in the real world of today either. Still, this lawsuit is frivolous nonsense.


Really good post. Thanks.

Good post. I saw a quote earlier that seems applicable: your mental health issues are not your fault, but they are your responsibility.

Not really. There's no special protection against getting yelled at by a boss. It happens every day all over the country and you don't get to sue over it. You either say frick this and quit, or you deal with it to keep your job.

Kiffin is aging like fine wine

Ole Miss having a likable coach is unsettling
