mehhhhh- we make a move and I'll be good with it as long as its not someone that runs a 7 on 7 offense

Hey that?s actually what I wanted to hear. Just got a little annoying on the impartialness regarding why a lot of us want CZA to be a HC somewhere else. Not as annoying as KB and blacksails are with the AR, but it is like trying to pull a damn ostrich?s head out of the sand. I don?t care what offense we run as long as we are competent and successful.

CZA is out of his element as a HC, he may yet turn into one down the road but not ready for it at the moment... Barbay i dont think has accounted for SEC defenses...Our DC needs to step back and maybe we can convince CZA to go back to DC or tell him thanks for stepping up and giving it a go...Wright is clearly not the answer at QB and i believe everyone can now agree Rogers is the best option, you dont destroy Parson on a throw away season... get him his 4 games and call it a redshirt...... start over with your scheme and make your hire early... losing a ton of people to eligibility and transfer portal... start your rebuild and go from there....BSD is just throwing fuel on an open fire and laughing at the uproar.....

You just said it man:

"It is the whole staff, and I have been telling you it is. Now things are becoming public."

"It's the whole staff. We got players getting penalized for executing what they are taught. This staff is done."

"I'm coming straight from players and parents. It's the Whole staff. And yes, we do have feelers out!"

What the actual hell? This is just the last few pages on this post. You most definitely said it was the whole staff multiple time. Come on now.


You absolutely said the "whole staff". Why deny what you just said? smh

However bsd has only stirred the pot told half truths and mis-represented a lot without bringing anything positive to the board. It gets old. The horse is dead and has been beat to death over and over and over. We all see where the season is headed barring a miracle on the scale of the Red Sea! There?s a lot of great people on here with tons of knowledge and lots to add and discuss even if you don?t agree, a few on here not so much lol!

I kinda lean towards having to lose the rest (minus USM) and good beat down by OM. Unless KY really smokes us at home. That would probably get the needle moving.

I don't really get too caught up in "behind the scenes" stuff since all kinds of folks think they have inside info. Most all of it is wrong. Except Bert ... he da man. When he speaks, I perk up ***

We should look more at their DC. They're averaging 28.6 PPG and they are 6th in their conference in total offense.

For reference we're at 26 PPG on the season and we're at 31 PPG last year.

Well he has been on top for so long. I mean they had an 8-10 year run where they were one of the top 10 programs and 4-6 year run where they were one of the top 4. You can see the frustration he has in knowing it is slipping away. He knows he now has to embrace the portal, something he has been vehemently against since its inception, or his program will go back to being a 7-9 win team year in and year out.

We have plans and there is a list. Every AD has 8-10 names in his back pocket at all times. You are either hiring a coach, firing a coach, or trying to keep your coach at all times.

I also think that there has probably been some cursory contact made with agents, nothing is going to be on the record this early in the game anyways.

Petrino would be a trash hire. Leipold isn't going to come here. He'd be a home run hire if he would come here though. If anything happens with Harbaugh at Michigan, Leipold will be their top choice. Lebby, I can definitely get behind. He runs the type of wide open offense we need to see at Mississippi State. He can lean on his father-in-law while he's learning to be a head coach. He can also use those connections to build a staff.

Role during 2015 Baylor football scandal
While coaching at Baylor University, Lebby was named by Baylor student Dolores Lozano as one of the coaches that took no action against running back Devin Chafin after she reported being physically assaulted three times by him. After Art Briles was terminated by Baylor, Lebby defended Briles, who is also Lebby's father-in-law, and sold shirts with #CAB (Coach Art Briles) in a show of continued support.

It cleared him from the title 9 suit. Judge ruled nothing was proven against him. Technically, Briles could coach again.

Lozano, a Baylor student who claims she was assaulted multiple times by a football player, sued Baylor for Title IX violations and negligence, and in the same suit she sued Briles personally and the Baylor AD for "gross negligence." Lozano lost her gross negligence claims against Briles and the AD, but she won her Title IX and negligence claims against Baylor, proving to the jury that Baylor was "deliberately indifferent" to all her assault reports. She didn't sue Lebby personally, but her accusations against him were part of her negligence claims that she won. Apparently Baylor's attorneys tried to ding her credibility on the Lebby issue, saying that her testimony about him had changed over time. (Not sure whether Lebby testified to refute her accusations. The football player accused of assault testified and denied that he did anything to her.) Regardless, her overall credibility was enough for the jury in Texas to find in her favor.

So I'm not sure that it's cut and dry. Here's an article (https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/38736187/jury-finds-baylor-university-negligent-violated-title-ix) about the suit and verdict.

No, Briles had withdrawn his motion to have a separate lawyer for the lawsuits. He stayed with the Baylor lawyers and they settled with 15 women. He wasn't exonerated in those lawsuits.

We will never win a title in football. The SEC is just getting tougher and tougher. Nobody has won the SEC outside of the Big 6 in almost 60 years. That's not changing until Texas or Oklahoma wins it. It will just get harder and harder to win here. NIL is already doing that. We are having to spend alot to keep and arent able to spend much to acquire.

Ridiculous. The coach 100% matters. Yes, the NIL matters too (I give every month) but with the right coach making a 12 team playoff on a 6-8 year cycle is an attainable goal. We're a top 30 athletic program in the country, let's act like it for once.

It will be tough to win a title(almost impossible), but there's no reason we can't remain a solid, competitive team, and even have the occassional shot to be even better every 4-5 years. It will require correct use of resources and a sharp coach and staff.

We will never win a title in football. The SEC is just getting tougher and tougher. Nobody has won the SEC outside of the Big 6 in almost 60 years. That's not changing until Texas or Oklahoma wins it. It will just get harder and harder to win here. NIL is already doing that. We are having to spend alot to keep and arent able to spend much to acquire.

Who our coach is really doesnt matter very much moving forward

If the 12 team playoff started this year, Ole Miss would be a pretty heavy favorite to get in it at this point. If they win all 3 of the games they're favored in going forward (A&M, ULM, and us), they would be a virtual lock. 10-2 with losses to Bama and Georgia. Would they win the playoff? No. But they would be in it. If they can do it, so can we. Another bad take on your part. You should take a break.

It really does boil down to coaching. Obviously NIL takes the development part of things out, but look back to 2014. Yes we had Dak, obviously a severely underrated talent and we had some good defensive pieces like BMac but by and large a lot of our players were two stars that did not really make any noise until 2014. They were developed. You just have to find a coach who can develop and fill with the portal what he cannot develop. It honestly is why hitting on a QB in recruiting is so big. Because if you do not you are fighting 30 other teams who also did not hit with their players. This is also why I think you have to hire an offensive minded HC. They know a little better what they are looking for at that position.

I didn’t say we would win a title, I said competitive. Which means putting a solid product on the field week in and week out that is exciting to watch and brings the university a lot of respect. That is not out of our reach and bringing in the right head guy does matter to that.

The QB position is more critical than ever in multiple facets. PR/face of the program, recruiting other players and can "cover" for other position weaknesses as much as any coach and scheme can. The game is too offensive focused now and point scoring focus is so essential now, especially for mid-tier teams not named Georgia and Alabama who can depend on defenses on control games. An offensive minded coach who can develop and utilize a quality QB while managing and promoting the program is essential. The other coaches can be hired for their specialties.

I disagree. We were absolutely capable of winning it in 2014. And if we had dan and Dak in 2018.
OM is capable of winning it now with a little better defense.

At a place like state, you will usually have defensive talent. You need an elite offensive mind and an nfl dual threat qb. Do that and you'll be in the mix most years.

It will be tough to win a title(almost impossible), but there's no reason we can't remain a solid, competitive team, and even have the occassional shot to be even better every 4-5 years. It will require correct use of resources and a sharp coach and staff.

This is the truth. Yes, Starkville is not the easiest place in the country to win a bunch of football games. And under the current circumstances with NIL etc there is an entirely new set of challenges. We have to do more with less and we have to find a system that works for us that can help to alleviate the talent gaps that we face in our league. It is definitely not getting any easier. But, that said we can be competitive year in and year out with the occasional great year.

Ridiculous. The coach 100% matters. Yes, the NIL matters too (I give every month) but with the right coach making a 12 team playoff on a 6-8 year cycle is an attainable goal. We're a top 30 athletic program in the country, let's act like it for once.

Based on??? The one time we've finished in that spot , meaning top 12, in how many years??? And you have us doing it every 6/8 years?? You are in for a life of disappointment. And yes we are top 30ish. Problem is we play in a league that has at minimum 10 ahead of us. In a 16 team league. And only one for sure behind us. The rest you could throw in a hat.

One thing you don't do, whether they're really intelligent or of average intelligence, is come in, slam the breaks on a well-established path, and start completely from scratch. Intelligence has nothing to do with that at all. And I've led really intelligent people. They're much more difficult than the, as you describe them, lesser intelligent ones. And you don't slam the breaks on ALL of it for sure, especially the parts that were working really well like S&C (not talking about the offense here at all).

And you damn sure don't promise to keep continuity and culture and to ease into it, then do all of the above.

However, Leach would've put in his offense immediately either way. HOWEVER Leach knew how to be organized and build it, which obviously Zach and the Homeboys are lacking in experience doing that. Leach had been a part of that before. He had been an OC for 10 years before that, with 2 in SEC and 1 at OK under Bob Stoops who won a Natty with Leach's offense the year after Leach left.

Leach had proven it before, yet that didn't matter during the 1st year of the dumpster fire he inherited while playing an all-freshmen backfield and a young Oline and all the other adversity he faced.

Mullen knew how to do it too after 12 years with Urban Meyer.

And when you don't lose any of your defensive staff and your defensive players look outta shape, confused, their eyes ain't where they need to be, and you haven't changed your base defense, that's a BIG problem.

Not only do we have a HC with 5 total years as a DC (only 3 in SEC), but we then hire an OC with only 2 years as an OC is G5 conferences with 2 different schools. There is NO experience there.

Woe is me ... poor lil ole me.

Of course you can. You make a rule that says all NIL must run through the school's NIL fund, and there is a cap to what can be paid out. Any school that goes over the limit is severely punsihed.

Sigh. I keep seeing this complete lack of understanding of what NIL is and what the comparison is to the NFL.

NIL is a player getting paid by a business to make an add. NIL is not a "salary" from the school.

The NFL has "NIL", it's just called "endorsements" or "advertisements". Dak on his rookie contract made about 20x his "salary" through these adds. It's not counted against the Cowboys salary cap. And yes, large market teams have more interest from advertisers and that absolutely is an "under the table" -if you will- benefit that draws star players to that team compared to small market teams. But again, NIL is to college athletes what yogurt adds are for Dak

That's a naive way to look at it. The vast majority of NIL, at least at the elite programs, is essentially just salary way beyond the market value of the endorsements. You see players getting 6- and 7-figure deals without even having played a down.

That's not the case in the NFL, where endorsement dollars do align with the market.

College football would be far better off to acknowledge this reality and drop the "NIL" label for what is really is - "salary."

That's not the case in the NFL, where endorsement dollars do align with the market.

College football would be far better off to acknowledge this reality and drop the "NIL" label for what is really is - "salary."

I get what you are saying but once it's acknowledged as salary, then they are employees. Now you have all the complications that go with that, contracts and collective bargaining with a players union. That can be regulated with a salary cap. NIL as it's structured, not how it's being used, but how it's structured right now...how can you regulated that?

All of those complications are a better system than what we have now. If that option is on the table, let's do it.

Maybe, I see it both ways. It would be more complicated than many think. It would be a way to regulate for sure, but has a whole other set of problems, not to mention financial burdens for the school and state.

One thing you don't do, whether they're really intelligent or of average intelligence, is come in, slam the breaks on a well-established path, and start completely from scratch. Intelligence has nothing to do with that at all. And I've led really intelligent people. They're much more difficult than the, as you describe them, lesser intelligent ones. And you don't slam the breaks on ALL of it for sure, especially the parts that were working really well like S&C (not talking about the offense here at all).

And you damn sure don't promise to keep continuity and culture and to ease into it, then do all of the above.

However, Leach would've put in his offense immediately either way. HOWEVER Leach knew how to be organized and build it, which obviously Zach and the Homeboys are lacking in experience doing that. Leach had been a part of that before. He had been an OC for 10 years before that, with 2 in SEC and 1 at OK under Bob Stoops who won a Natty with Leach's offense the year after Leach left.

Leach had proven it before, yet that didn't matter during the 1st year of the dumpster fire he inherited while playing an all-freshmen backfield and a young Oline and all the other adversity he faced.

Mullen knew how to do it too after 12 years with Urban Meyer.

And when you don't lose any of your defensive staff and your defensive players look outta shape, confused, their eyes ain't where they need to be, and you haven't changed your base defense, that's a BIG problem.

Not only do we have a HC with 5 total years as a DC (only 3 in SEC), but we then hire an OC with only 2 years as an OC is G5 conferences with 2 different schools. There is NO experience there.

Woe is me ... poor lil ole me.

Y'all obviously wanted this so now ... man up and own it. Leach didn't sit up there at the podium crying and whining about all the adversity he was facing while everyone was on his ass all the time. And you were one of the ring leaders of all of that.

Bingo. Mike Leach is the best coach this program ever had.

I don't disagree that NIL is being used as a salary in practice- I'm stating that LEGALLY, in the eyes of the courts, NIL is the same as an NFL player endorsing Activia.

You can't contain NIL for that reason

Of course you can. You make a rule that says all NIL must run through the school's NIL fund, and there is a cap to what can be paid out. Any school that goes over the limit is severely punsihed.

You don't see NFL teams, for example, cheating the salary cap with under the table payments. It's a theoretically enforceable thing, we just have to have an NCAA (or another organization) that does its job.

You may want to check all the car dealerships that Elway owned while playing for the Broncos.
