That's not harsh considering the context/circumstances.  Player ghosted the program (sounds like he was unhappy about the position they were making him play), claimed mental health, but did not respon

Exactly. Them SECs better just get out of his way if they know what’s good for them.

Just saw UK’s winning score and that’s usually the way they lose games not the other way around. The last three matchups between these two have been one score games and games UK probably should’ve won.

With an above average cocksucker for a coach. 

No bias here.

Yesterday's game is a perfect example of why everyone has an instinctual pause when Ole Miss is proclaimed a national title contender.  Run up the score/stats against shitty teams then fold when you get hit in the mouth by a good defense. And the fake injuries are truly pathetic. 

Kiffin is entertaining and good for college football, but I'm definitely rooting against him.

They’re like an SEC version of Leach-era Tech.

Hes a poor mans Mike Leach. I think we can all say that with confidence now

He's 100% deficient in personality and witticism when compared to Leach but his subtle troll game is unparalleled.

Yep. This just screams CYA with a paper trail. Fake injuries won’t stop. Staffs will just get better at planning for them and covering their tracks with plausible deniability.

Lane Kiffin on absurd college reality: What if NBA, NFL had free agency during season

Captain Candid, Kiffin buries college football's current roster system

John Brice         16 hours ago

It's more than the snark. It's the candor.

It is that within ever zinger, each one-liner, Lane Kiffin is delivering a pointed message and/or seeking to generate a thought process.

During Wednesday's weekly SEC coaches Zoom, Kiffin's ability to paint a stark picture and poke holes in the current college football roster ecosystem.

Is there roster-tampering? Kiffin reveals how the current landscape allows actions to drift far beyond tampering.

And de facto free agency in the sport, via the NCAA Transfer Portal and the absence of all guardrails on the now legal pay-for-play approaches?

Kiffin notes the upcoming roster-churning calendar isn't even synched; the early signing period next month runs from Dec 4-6 but the NCAA Transfer Portal window for football runs from Dec. 9-28.

The first-ever, 12-team College Football Playoff doesn't begin until a single game on Dec. 20 and three more the next day.

"They're creating these free-agency windows and then they have them before a season's not even over," Kiffin says. "So, they're just basically inviting kids to wonder mentally and to get tampered with, because when the windows are and people are still trying playing.

"Can you imagine in the NBA or NFL, free agency were to start in the playoffs? I mean, it would never happen. I don't know that it's probably talked about, but just think about that for a little bit."

In addition to trying to keep his team focusing on the present, with hope springing anew for a CFP bid after last week's resounding win against Georgia, Kiffin also works with his staff to try and guard against the creep of external influences. 

"That's just part, again, of an extremely flawed system. Like the question earlier about tampering; not just they tamper, they go and offer money and numbers," he says. "So, you've got young kids going, 'Wait, so I can go and make that much money somewhere else if I go in the Portal and leave?' 

"We don't have enough time in this call for all the problems in the system and not thought-out it was. It's a very reactionary system. Even the tweaks a lot of times are just reactionary instead of thought out."

First-year Mississippi State coach Jeff Lebby also is willing to speak out against the outlaw methods pervasive among the current college football system.

"It’s going on," Lebby says of roster tampering. "There are guys on our football team right now that are going through that. 

"Again, until that is managed and policed at the highest level, to me, there’s nothing that are going to stop people from doing it."

 With jurisdiction beyond his scope, Kiffin is candid about his approach until changes are made.

"I don't really worry about what I can't control. I mean, that happens a lot," Kiffin says of tampering. "Just try to keep our guys focused. Again, it's a really poorly thought-out system of the windows and where they are. People tamper all the time. 

"So, we just try to maximize the really poor system that's been set up and try to avoid the distractions."

Lane Kiffin texted a rival conference coach:Go play at 100 Sanford Drive and tell me your league is best

Ole Miss head coach emphasizes strength, difficulty of life in the SEC

John Brice       3 minutes ago

There are five Southeastern Conference teams in the top-11 of the latest College Football Playoff rankings, and four of them are poised to be safely in the inaugural field of 12.

Tennessee, despite being the No. 11 team this week, is outside the field as of now due to Boise State at No. 12 and BYU, the Big 12's top-rated team, at No. 14.

Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin, his team needing to secure a road win this week at Florida and cap the regular season with a win against in-state rival Mississippi State to virtually cement its CFP bid, is joining the chorus of stumping for SEC superiority -- while also revealing a hilarious, pointed message sent to the head coach in a rival conference.

"Well, I said it earlier: when people want to talk about other conferences or playoffs, or coaches make a statement about their conferences ... conference bias ... it’s very different going on the road in this conference," Kiffin said on Wednesday's SEC coaches' Zoom. "Joking, I sent a text and said to one of these other coaches, he made a statement [about their conference being the best in college football], and I said, 'Try going to 100 Sanford Drive (home of the Georgia Bulldogs) and see if you still say that. 

"It’s different."

In fact, Kiffin explains, his team's open date this past weekend is additional evidence of SEC superiority. 

"Kirby (Smart) has made mention, the SEC is different. I aint’ saying that cause I’m here," Kiffin emphasized. "It ain’t rocket science when you watch football. During our bye week, I watched football in other conferences. The SEC is different. Playing in the SEC environments is different than a lot of places those guy play. 

"It's hard to go on the road in this conference, which always has the most NFL players, and win. It's very much like the NFL, playing in the SEC."

The additions this year of both Oklahoma and Texas also leave Kiffin believing the SEC needs to stick at just eight intraconference games -- particularly as perhaps one or more SEC team is facing the very real possibility of missing an CFP invite. 

"To add another conference game to it, I understand money is involved and you gotta make those decisions, I don’t know that that’s in the best interest of programs to play another game and beat each other up," Kiffin said.

Do his coaching brethren in the SEC agree?

"I don’t know that; the ones I talk to think that," Kiffin added. "I think that’s changed, years ago we were OK going to nine (conference games), but with the Playoffs in terms of knocking each other out and other conferences and who they get to play, I think it’s probably changed that."
