That's gotta be Steve putting out something just so he can say "Well, things changed quickly after the back half of the season played out." He's covering both sides just like he always does.

Going 0-8 in the SEC is no longer acceptable. That's Croom level dysfunction. This is worse than accepting mediocre, that's accepting abject failure.

Our contributions are a family centered activity with decisions made by all since the passing of my late Dad. We have agreed for me to check if we are paying above our minimum Bulldog Club contribution to retain our 8 season tickets. If so, we will lower our substantial contribution for the 2024 year. 8 to 12 tickets for over 50 years and this is bad and not even entertaining to watch. Told my MSU grad school son it would be easy to get out of the parking lot and back to his apartment, if we stayed the entire game. Was sad to see it was a few die hard State fans and far too many bama fans even in section 4 at the end.

This is true.
But I will say IF we had a complete meltdown in baseball it wouldn't have been completely off the table. Beating LSU and the team still playing hard at the end of the year along with firing Foxhall bought him another year.
The same thing here with football- our boosters are measured. Which is a good thing. They'll let the season play out which is the absolute correct thing to do. Heck- Bucky might be right and we end up at 8-4 for all we know. Maybe we do end up 6-6. Maybe we end up 4-8. Everything is still on the table at this point.

It also depends on who he beats too. 5-7 with an Egg Bowl win? I think we give another year with new coordinators. Similar to Dan in 2016 after he fired Sirmon. 5-7 with the SEC win over Arkansas? Eh...maybe not.
If we do bring Arnett back I'm fairly sure we're going to have new coordinators. Probably with significantly more experience.

JoMo inherited a tough team and they mostly sustained that for 1 year (at least the D did with Shoop). Year 2 is when it became very noticeable. So I would say it's actually worse than JoMo cause this year ... it's very noticeable.

Honestly, they look worse than I expected offensively until last week. And turnovers and running the ball was what kept them in that game. I expected us to look better than we do and better than they have been. Did you watch the California and TAM games? 10-17 for 94 yards passing and 9-23 for 56 vs TAM. Their defense is about what I thought.
