Those Involved With MSU Football Need Take A Long Look In The Mirror
And find some leadership.
I'm not going to meltdown tonight. It's not worth it, but tonight cannot happen. We can sit here & debate for hours about how we got here & blame everyone including the janitor, but the truth is that it's complicated & without being in that building on a daily basis, it's probably impossible to know, other than talent, where to point the finger.
However we got here though, tonight cannot happen. Whatever sequence of events led to the soap dropping that occurred tonight on the plains cannot happen.
The problems with what happened tonight is that you don't just lose a game, you begin losing a fan base. People that would normally wear that maroon shirt tomorrow to church tuck that sucker a little deeper in the drawers because they don't want to be a known associate of a program that performed like ours did tonight. They don't want to be a supporter of such ineptitude & lack of discipline.
Nights like tonight are why after 9 bowl games, we still only have a 61K seat stadium that don't typically fill. It's because of nights like tonight throughout our history that our fan base does not grow. Nights like tonight are why so many Mississippi recruits choose to go out of state.
Tonight cannot happen. It was embarrassing, it was unorganized, & it was heartless.
From Tutor gate, to delay of games, to terrible tackling, to unsportsmanlike penalties, etc, I think it all goes back to a lack of leadership. We can blame Joe for still acting like the substitute teacher, or we can blame Mullen for not recruiting DL, although we have an awful lot of 4 stars out there that suck, we can blame Cohen for making what still appears to be the best hire of that hiring cycle, or we can even remember that on good teams the players police themselves, but whatever the cause, there is a lack of leadership in this program & everyone associated with this program from the presidents office to Cohen's office, to Moorhead's office, & on down needs to take a look in mirror & make a commitment to making sure that tonight NEVER happens again.
I love our freshman QB, but the rest of team looks like a dis-organized Chinese fire drill where some of the fireman are speaking Russian. Just a complete cluster 17. We look like a Popeyes. When it's clicking the food is pretty good, but the operation sucks so consistently that you still don't go to Popeyes as often as Chick-fil-a
We've got an off week next week & goodness do we need it, but beyond that, leadership needs to emerge in the football program that will take the bull by the horns & hold everyone in that building to a real standard, not just the fake one that is tweeted out everyday.
Again, losses can happen, but tonight can't.
It's not a time to point fingers at each other. It's time for everyone involved with this football program to roll their sleeves up & make a covenant that what happened tonight will not happen again.
