Posting what things I've heard, waiting for others to double confirm these things before adding to tracker.
Lebby is safe. Certain folks want Mullen but we're doing Lebby another year. Way more of a possibility to go after Dan next year if Lebby craters than most would have originally thought. I honestly think if Lebby doesn't have us bowl eligible + egg bowl win then Mullen is back for 2027.
Tucker is safe. Cooper is safe.
Bumphis is safer than safe.
Holocek could get replaced by Briles otherwise they expect no offensive staffing changes except....
Hearing serious discussions about Loadholt. This is where the point of contention lies the most. Loadholt not getting a fair shake and it being a jimmies and joes problem. Remains to be seen how that
Hutzler will be gone. Barnes will be gone. Dancy should be gone. - these three are contingent on us lining up a perceived better DC hire. Speculation that we won't as in 25% we might not.
Odom is gone. Turner is gone. Bell is gone. These are gone regardless of Hutzler.
Letting Loadholt would be a big mistake. Big time recruiter and this is his first full offseason with us.
Anyone hearing names to replace Hutz? Not convinced hes gone unless other names are rumbling
Where are you hearing way more possibility of Dan next year? There is no chance that happens.
Dan is not coming back. Sure it?s fun to talk about it, but I would be absolutely stunned if that happened.
Steve said that there is some big addition to the offense staff but not Kendall Briles that he is talking about.
Makes me wonder if we are adding Judge or Joe Jon Finley or a new o-line coach?
Dan is interested. Dan has already reached out. Dan is willing to sign a non-compete and agree to certain clauses. You can all believe it or not. Don't care.Quote:

If this were true, you make the move right now. Not next year. What is he goes 10-2 or 11-1 next year at UNLV? He would be a much hotter commodity than MSU level. So, not saying I don?t believe you but if he reached out and our admin said no thank, fire everybody but the school janitors. And demote them!!!Quote:

I'm 50/50 on it because this OL was baddddd but I don't necessarily disagree. Waiting to hear names floated as replacement but I think Lebby wins this battle and loses on Hutzler and having to hire a DC.Quote:

Zac - if you're reading this, go ahead and make the switch for 2026.Quote:

As in... that door is closed. From our side and his.
I loved the Dan years and being a decent program. I do not want to go back to Dan. I don’t want those memories soured.Quote:
