🏈 Lane is in some hot water

This is what I called Hoof and Mouth disease!

Just when you think Lane might have rounded the corner and is headed toward reaching maturity, he does something stupid such as this!

Saban had a mental case at Miami. Was making a rather large DT cry.

For those not familiar, this is the same story from a couple months ago, just with the actual audio now instead of the transcripts. Y'all know how this works though... If this were Jimbo, A&M would gleefully use it to fire him with cause. Fortunately for Kiffin, his team is overachieving thus far... Ole Miss will be in his corner so long as he keeps winning (enough).

 

[Crtuneman]

In this hyper sensitive culture and me first philosophy, this is not a good look. I don’t fault Kiffin but he, more than anyone, should know how quickly these things are exposed on social media.

 

[SnakeDoc]

$40M? What a load of crap. That's a spoiled kid who wants a payday without having to earn it

 

[BamaFan334]

The guy disappeared for two weeks with zero contact, so what is Kiffin supposed to expect. Maybe should have been a hair more sensitive in his recorded comments, but I get it.

This happened a while back and there was news about it, but at end of the day, Kiffin was right. You have to communicate with the staff to get the help you needed. So No, I don't think he's in trouble... This is just limited to the audio tape, but you have to look at what happened in last few weeks that led up to that incident.

Also, note DeSanto played the race card

 

[bamaledge]

I hate the race card. Stand on your own 2 feet and judge or be judged by your actions, character and deeds, not the color of your skin. I don’t care what your skin color is, your religion or your financial status! I care about people striving to be the best person they can be.

The Nick-tator!

Kiffin just basically told the kid to man up after not showing up to meet with him for a couple of weeks. IMO, he did nothing wrong.

 

[bamafan4ever]

Sorry but if the person didn't communicate, Lane was correct imo. In the "real world", you can't just not show up and communicate for weeks and then claim FMLA. Same principle should apply. Could he have handled it better? Probably but it is what it is.

The worst thing about this Greg? It's just the distraction Kirby needs.

 

[AFF]

If he can prove he had mental illness and that Kiffin knew about it BEFORE he was benched and ceased communication with coach - then he MIGHT have a case.

If not then he has no case.

Never worked in Union environment, I see.
