The tape starts with Kiffin telling Rollins off about not responding to text messages and not showing up for what appears to have been a previously scheduled meeting between coaches and Rollins.

Rollins then says in the audio “I don’t see why you’ve got to be disrespectful” to which Kiffin replies “Get out of here. Go, you’re off the team. You’re done.”

Kiffin later adds the following: “And guess what? We can kick you off the team. So go read your F****** rights about mental health, we can kick you off the team for not showing up. When the head coach asks to meet with you and you don’t show up for weeks, okay we can remove you from the team.”




Not a good look but also cant blame him if a guy doesn't have any contact for weeks..


Edit: The transcript has been out but now the audio was leaked or released

All that matters to me.

Leaked audio from Lane Kiffin’s heated exchange with DeSanto Rollins was released on social media Thursday afternoon.

The transcript was in a story on ESPN a month ago.

Having a mental health issue is no excuse for being absent. Communicate with your boss about the issues and they will understand. You can't just not show up or fulfill your responsibilities. This is a learning lesson for him hopefully.

Dude's just looking for money. That's why he gave a lame-arse excuse about mental health and recorded the call.

The sad truth is that Lane trained his staff at an unprecedented level for mental health and this guy probably got the idea from that training.

Kiffin is 100% right. Don’t show up to a meeting with coaches, you should be gone.

Obviously they're not going to tell us his diagnosis but there are a few that would be legit reasons to miss a meeting, even weeks of meetings. Kiffin would've been told what his dx was and gone from there. It very much sounds like whatever was wrong with Rollin wasn't the kind of mental illness that prevents you from attending a meeting for weeks.

That said, if it is something like schizophrenia, bipolar, or even very severe depression then there could be problems and Kiffin would be in hot water but as frustrated as Kiffin sounds I just don't think that's what he was dealing with.

I want to jump on the Ole Miss hate as much as anyone. But the kid was instigating (which is why he recorded it) and this honestly sounds like a coach who was trying to make this child a man but got fed up with the constant excuses that this society has sadly come to allow.

ETA: This kid will be telling you the mcflurry machine is broken soon.

I don’t really see how it is a bad look, to be honest. These kids want to be paid like professionals, they should expect to be treated like professionals and to be accountable like professionals.

Not sure if this is the L they thought it was. I want my coach to do this and not let the inmates run the asylum.
