Would have the opportunity to tie our current coach in the number of SEC wins in the past 2 seasons.
Cannot let that happen.

We should not lose to an interim if the game is close in the second half.
What part do you not care about?

If Lane leaves before the Egg it will be a massive gut punch to the team. Joe is going to have his hands full trying to get players and asst coaches to focus. They will see those playoff dreams start to fade away. If FSU was kept out bc they lost their starting QB OM can certainly be left out because they lost their head coach.

Or it would cause them to grow closer together with an "its us against the world" mantra and motivate them to play even better

Sometimes I really dislike our fanbase, we have innate ability to find absolutely the worst take on any situation. No context, no real understanding of why things are what they are. The confederates are going to be without one guy, all the players will remain the same and they have better players than us. Players win or lose games, coaches put players in the positions to win or lose games. And this is a rivalry game, anyone that thinks they will lack motivation because their head guy left for a huge raise has never played in anything.

Straight fact, if an interim wins, he has the same number of SEC wins as Lebby in 2 years.

IF the game is close in the second half, the decisions of an interim, and lack of flow with the coordinators does make a difference.

How many times did we look checked out because Mullen was interviewing somewhere the week of the Egg Bowl? Maybe Ole Miss has a stronger culture than we did but it could definitely work in our favor if Lebby can get them back to playing hard.

All that said, the last two games are a trend that can get a coach fired. We have looked unprepared and unmotivated. Both teams were better than us but so were ASU, UT, Texas, and UF. I think Lebby is here next year but losing something like 50-10 on your home field can motivate people.

Lebby desperately needs this team to at minimum be competitive which we haven't seen in a while. Even the Arkansas win, without all of those penalties, we don't have a chance to win.

The interim has been there all season and has the better players. He should win

We had an interim take over with a back-up QB in 2017 and take down a Heisman type guy

We had an interim take over in 2022 and beat a better Iowa team with a top D

Interim's usually do pretty well because they have been there

Yep. The sausage is already made with that team. They could beat us without a coach calling plays and the QB and MLB calling them. It isn't a secret how easy it is to call plays. A grad student could do it given it is week 12.

Agree on all that.
The interim's HC experience is getting in a fight with his OL coach in NY.
Interim's experience is challenging an NFL play that cannot be challenged .

Comparing an interim in a bowl game v. an interim with a college football playoff on the line, is different. Pressure affects it.

How will this interim handle this pressure.

They have way more to lose than we do with an interim.

That is in no way, shape, or form true. There is an art to calling plays. Guys have to be able to process whats going on and make split second decisions with a clock running. You have to think a number of plays ahead also. You have to adjust on the fly- possession to possession depending on what defenses are doing, injuries to your team as well as the other team, field position, ball placement on each hash, etc. You have to have the correct gut feelings multiple times per game.

Playcalling is the toughest thing a coach does

Yea bud your head coach is a pretty important position. Will affect the teams previous abilities

In zero of the situations you are mentioning did we have an interim HC. I did see any lack of prep or non-motivated players in the last two, I did see us get pushed around by much more physical, deeper football teams. I was so easy to see on the 7 tries inside the 10, they gave us a light box we made the correct read and got whipped by two different guys defeating a double team. We matched up way better with UT, UF and Tenn, ASU should have run it at us all night. Miz and UGA ground us into the turf like they should have.

We have been bad against the run all year. I'm glad other teams didnt figure this out in the 1st half of the season. Our DL is not very good and was really hurt losing our best one so early in the season

Hope our team digs deep here, but ole miss could run that goal line, linemen in backfield , the whole game.

not a fair comparison...Lebby hasn't had a chance to coach against a Lebby coached team.

First: If the confederates put Joe Judge in the interim roll this will hardly be a typical interim coach for college football at any level, he's kinda been there and done that if you follow me. Now let me expound my premise, we as a whole lack the fortitude to do what is necessary for our football program to succeed. As I have before posted here, we are MSU, it's not athletics or foundation or academics or even facilities as separate things, its all us. We are the face of how we are perceived and we suck at it. We have our own part to play, but due to pettiness, division, lack of vision and overall a loser mentality that pervades the football program we very rarely uphold our end. We are the world champion's of fixing the blame and not even attempting to fixing the problem. Instead of finding a away to build a better system, we continue to fight the fight the same old way and are mystified when we get out dicks knocked up into our own watch pocket. I for one find that extraordinarily 17ing stupid.

most likely no one. Ole Miss will probably keep Lane until the egg bowl and secure a bye in the playoffs, but if he was to be put on leave next week, it is Joe Judge most likely.

If JUdge is selected over the field assistants that could create a problem. Plus a few will be thinking about other jobs as will players. Focus could be a problem.
Hell, Kiffin may be reaching out a few next week. LOL

Kiffin will be poaching players too. This could be an epic meltdown of Rebel football. MSU might even want to chip in to help.

I dont really think he is trolling but is trying to figure out what he wants to do- and at the same time trying to leave Grenada Without the Lake with friendships and goodwill in check. We all know that is not possible with that bunch

When your baby mama, son and agent are flown in to look at high schools, campuses and neighborhoods it is no longing trolling. It is serious.

Lane knows this is it. Sexton has told him this is the time to make a move.

Old Miss could play at 80 percent effort and have a pretty good chance to win. This is another problem with having one year transfers. They don't give a damn about this game. We have more to play for here, but would our transfers even know which direction Oxford is from Starkville...
