5-7 and a bowl?
There's a pretty decent possibility because of the lack of available 6 wins teams, plus our APR we could get a bowl bid if we get to 5-7. The question is would we accept? Pros would be the main one to extend the bowl streak, and usually you want the extra practices, but with most likely a new staff who would run them? Cons would be staff is most likely to be fired, transfer portal and opt outs deplete the roster, and just wanting to end this dumpster fire of a season. What is the board opinion of what should we do if this happens?

I would accept, more reps for young players is never a bad thing and sending out the seniors who stayed through this gives them 1 last chance to play the game for many of them.

Solid. Accept.
Is this a debate?

I'd accept, but it shouldn't even be a possibility. I hated it the previous 2 times also

Yea keep the bowl streak alive. There will still be a new staff coming in. Might as well let the kids enjoy Birmingham or wherever.
ETA: plus, it would be good exposure for our coaching search. All the commentators would talk about is the possible coaches and/or the coach who has accepted to position but will start after bowl season. It’s a win/win for the program and the faintest of silver linings.

I don't know? Is it? Kinda the whole point of my creating the topic.

I drought that tickets would sell, too much apathy. Plus, no offence.

We did it before. Might as well do it again if given the option. I would be for it. If you decline you are a quitter.

If it means Arnett would stay then no. Otherwise, yea go ahead with it. It gives your new staff time to evaluate your returning guys with 3 weeks of extra practices.

Accept and let the new hire coach it.

Yeah we should accept. It's a no brainer. Doesn't mean Arnett would have to stay if that happens.

You accept just to get those younger guys reps. Assuming Arnett would be fired anyway, you are playing with house money. Nobody would expect you to win, and if you do, then great. Also, great point on keeping the bowl streak alive. Nobody mentions that we went to a bowl at 5-7 in that streak. Nobody will again.

THIS^^^^^^ Huge way to let a new coach have an evaluation period and get to know the players. That's why it is imperative that Selmon has started this process and we have someone teed up to take over as close to November 24th as possible.
"After dealing with Ole Miss for over a year," he said, "I've learned to expect their leadership to do and say things that the leadership at other Division I schools would never consider doing and to justify their actions by reminding themselves that "We're Ole Miss.""

Yes ... and let Parson start
OXFORD, Miss. (WTVA) - Ole Miss campus police ask students to behave at future baseball games following a recent incident.
The university said students were reportedly throwing rocks at Georgia baseball players during last weekend's series.

Exactly this. It would be great to keep the bowl streak going.. though having TWO 5-7 exceptions makes it look weak but I guess who knows that than us.
No matter what though. This "era" i mean "error" has to end.
