Got a call last night that it?s Lebby

[Pinto]

Is this really the best Selmon can do?

[msstate7]

Certainly not my first choice, but figuring out who will be successful and who won't is basically flipping coins. Hopefully he works out

[William Tecumsah Sherman]

No one knows if anyone will be successful until a few years down the road.

[DownwardDawg]

Nah. Keeping my hopes up. It's not gonna be Lebby.

[defiantdog]

Is this really the best Selmon can do?

We'll know if he's at the game tonight

[parabrave]

Is this really the best Selmon can do?

So the AD has you on Speed Dial??

[DownwardDawg]

Is this really the best Selmon can do?

If so, then Selmon is exactly what most of us thought. Lebby's resume is crap compared to most of the other candidates that we have supposedly been talking to.

I'm not sold Lebby is the choice. I'm holding out hope. We can't be this poorly managed.......

He?s a better candidate than Fritz, Odom, and Sumrall

[Biguglyjoe]

He?s a better candidate than Fritz, Odom, and Sumrall
Expound on that stance, please.

[basedog]

He?s a better candidate than Fritz, Odom, and Sumrall

I'm hoping for Sumrall at of that bunch!

[Maroonthirteen]

He?s a better candidate than Fritz, Odom, and Sumrall

What impresses you with Lebby?

I'll hang up and listen.

[DownwardDawg]

He?s a better candidate than Fritz, Odom, and Sumrall

Ummmmm, sure.

[DownwardDawg]

I'm hoping for Sumrall at of that bunch!

Sumrall, Odom, and Fritz all have resumes 100x better than Lebby. Lebby could turn out to be great, but the others have better experience by far.
Also, a Lebby hire would be extremely meh..... which is the worst thing we could do right now. Talk about zero excitement headed into the offseason.

Still not believing it's him!!! Haha!! Hanging on to hope!!

[CaptainObvious]

My source is Vinny Boom Botz and he says it ain't Lebby.

[Dawgface]

I'm hoping for Sumrall at of that bunch!

Same here.

[Tater]

He?s a better candidate than Fritz, Odom, and Sumrall

He's a rape enabler. I'm not supporting State football if it's him. Ridiculous.

[HaggardDawg]

We?re not hiring a coordinator or first time head coach. We need a mature leader to stabilize things and hire good coordinators

[msudawg1200]

If this is the case I'll support, but I'll also be disappointed in Selmon. It would seem to be a lazy and easy hire, but I'm not privy to who was interviewed or the process.

[MaroonFlounder]

Offensive guy, which checks a huge box for me, but I’d rather have a HC, even if on the G5 level. Would be able to get a staff together if he’s already done it. And bring a few of his own.

[DownwardDawg]

We?re not hiring a coordinator or first time head coach. We need a mature leader to stabilize things and hire good coordinators

Yeah, there is nothing "mature" about Lebby.

[ZedFedder]

I heard we are promoting Brad Peterson.***

[paverdog]

I just can't see Selmon as AD, hiring Lebby, knowing he will bring the Briles connection here and all the talk to his gig here.

[TrapGame]

If it is Lebby this was a colossal failure. I'd take Odom over Lebby every day and twice on Sunday.

[sandjunky]

I hope it?s Lebby just for the gnashing of teeth and clutching of pearls

[DEDawg]

Not my first choice, but like if true. We need to get away from hiring defensive minded HC.

[Thick]

If Odom really wanted the job (as some have said), and Selmon took Lebby instead?.well we need a new AD.

[DEDawg]

Odom 100% wants the job

THIS ^^^^^^^

[Dawgology]

Not really. You just have to be willing to pay out to get a proven winner. You can?t be gun shy with the pocket book in the current SEC state of affairs. Lebby may work out or he may not. Guess we will see. I?m sure he came at a good price though?

I really doubt it's Lebby

[preachermatt83]

I don’t want lebby. But I want Odom even less

[Dawgology]

I really doubt it's Lebby

I hope not. I just don’t think he’s a good coach, morals notwithstanding. There will be people that don’t support him simply due to the sexual assault accusations. While that is a concern his actions after it all are immature and makes me doubt his leadership abilities. Additionally, I believe he is very “Morrhead-esque” in that his offense does great when he had better athletes than the opponent but it’s all just smoke and mirrors and a little luck. Plus, Heupel and Kiffins leadership and offensive minds have helped him out. He doesn’t have that now and he’s struggling a bit and he has Oklahoma’s resources. It would be a bad hire regardless of how tight he and Selmon are.

[WSOPdawg]

Could Sumrall as HC utilize Lebby as OC? Would this be a thing or no?

[Thick]

If Odom brings his OC, I would be fine with it. Plus he knows how to run a program. That?s what I personally want?..a sitting HC. Coordinators are a toss up, you just don?t know how they will handle being in charge. We have not had much luck with those type of hires.

[Coursesuper]

I hope it?s Lebby just for the gnashing of teeth and clutching of pearls

There will be that in spades.

[Quaoarsking]

I hope it?s Lebby just for the gnashing of teeth and clutching of pearls

Why would you want a fanbase split like that? I wouldn't want to hire any coach that a lot of fans are uncomfortable with, even if I personally was OK with him.

[BulldogDX55]

Well, as you know, there's a certain segment of the population that feels it's a good thing to be an asshole 100% of the time if it gets you what you want and doubly so if it pisses off people you don't like.

Clearly that dude is among them.

I'll still watch the games on TV and cheer for my team, but I won't send a dollar to the athletic department if that's the kind of person we're hiring. Leave that shit to Ole Miss and Auburn.

[HancockCountyDog]

Is this really the best Selmon can do?

If true, that really sucks.

The OU people will help him pack.

Never been a head coach and no matter what anyone thinks, the Briles thing is a negative.

Here's the thing i don't get about the 'Briles' thing. Most wanted Briles as OC under Arnett last offseason, so of it didn't bother us then why would it bother us now wirh Lebby?

[BuckyIsAB****]

Here is what you can bank on. If it?s Lebby, Selmon took the lazy hire. If it?s Odom, Keenum is making the hire. I dont think it is either one of them

[DownwardDawg]

Were talking Head Coach. Huge difference. All these others have much better resumes and experience than Lebby. It ain't gonna be Lebby anyway.

[confucius say]

Could Sumrall as HC utilize Lebby as OC? Would this be a thing or no?

That would intrigue me.
Lebby is looking to get out of OK because they don't want him there.
If we could hire Sumrall at 4 million and get lebby as OC, I could get behind that.

[HeCannotGo]

I don't want Lebby but it has nothing to do with the Baylor stuff. And I don't claim any special knowledge about the Baylor controversy. But he's been hired by four different schools since then. Four different schools found him worthy of walking their sidelines; what are they missing or overlooking that we're supposed to be outraged over?

[Turfdawg67]

Blah

[maroonmania]

I'm not sure why anyone would have confidence in Selmon making a good hire. The dude has never made a coaching hire of any kind in his life that I'm aware of.

[AROB44]

Nor has anyone posting on here.

[Catfish]

Don't get Bert upset.

[Homedawg]

We'll know if he's at the game tonight

If Selmon is at the game?? He's gonna be at the game no matter. What does that have to do w having a coach or not. I'll answer. Not a damn thing.

Lebby is not coming here as a coordinator. Good grief

[HancockCountyDog]

Lebby is not coming here as a coordinator. Good grief

I swear some people on here.

[THE Bruce Dickinson]

I'm not supporting State football if it's him. Ridiculous.

OK

[KOdawg1]

Some of y'all are dramatic.

Lebby would be exciting for me

We are THE Mississippi State University. We hold our historic tenured football program to a higher standard.

************ if needed

[CoachT14]

What impresses you with Lebby?

I'll hang up and listen.

He?s one of the best offensive coaches in modern college football. He has 2 top scoring offenses and 3 top 30 scoring offenses in the past 5 years.

He can assemble the best SEC ready staff of all 4 of those coaches. He?s the best recruiter of all 4 of those coaches and his staff might be the best recruiting staff ever assembled at Mississippi State.

His father in law is arguably a top 5 modern era football coach. He?s literally on speed dial. Need advice. Let me call Art.

[CoachT14]

Could Sumrall as HC utilize Lebby as OC? Would this be a thing or no?

Sumrall wouldn?t hire Lebby. He hates fast offense. He wants to play slow, ball control offense and win TOP. That ain?t Lebby or any good modern day OC

[CoachT14]

He's a rape enabler. I'm not supporting State football if it's him. Ridiculous.

He was found to be not involved. But I?m sure you didn?t know that.

[CoachT14]

If Odom really wanted the job (as some have said), and Selmon took Lebby instead?.well we need a new AD.

Odom sucked at Missouri. Do you really think he will be any better here? He had an NFL QB and went 19-19. Some of y?all have no idea what you?re talking.

[Quaoarsking]

He was found to be not involved. But I?m sure you didn?t know that.

Why do people keep saying this? There was one particular lawsuit where the woman who sued him didn't win. That doesn't necessarily mean he's innocent or uninvolved, and it says nothing about the other dozen women where he definitely was.

[CoachT14]

You think 4 schools hire him if there was evidence he was involved after what happened to Art? That?s hilarious.

[EdwardDrayton]

Wonder who the call tonight will say it is.

[Quaoarsking]

You think 4 schools hire him if there was evidence he was involved after what happened to Art? That?s hilarious.

Who are we even talking about now?

Art Briles has not been "cleared" despite a lot of posters here believing that for some reason. I don't think anyone here is alleging that Lebby was involved himself (thus not needing to be "found to be not involved" in the first place), but Lebby seems to be in denial of the gravity of what Briles did, continuing to associate with him professionally (I get that he's not going to cut his family member off personally, and that's fine).

It?s his father in law. What the hell do you expect him to do?

[KB21]

If it’s Elko, Lebby, Fritz, or Sumrall, I’m good with any.

[Quaoarsking]

I expect him to not have Art Briles on the sideline or in his office, ever.

[Leroy Jenkins]

The Mike Bobo smokescreen last year was so we could hire Mike Bobo this year.

[CoachT14]

I expect him to not have Art Briles on the sideline or in his office, ever.

Shit happens.

[Pancho]

he can be an at home analyst. I know guys who do this for juco teams

[CaptainObvious]

Well DJ Durkin's practices were so intense one of his players died and Durkin was blamed and eventually lost his job. Since then he has had 2 DC positions under well know coaches. Is a player dying on your watch equal to or worse than having rapist thugs in your team? Both are really bad. To me neither should have a job. But we aren't hiring Art Briles. He isn't getting paid by MSU

[DownwardDawg]

Shit happens.

Not when he was specifically told to not have him on the sidelines. So he marched him out there to show them. He's childish. It would be a horrible hire.

[CoachT14]

Lol. holy hyperbole.

Dang, so are we like friends now?
