I don't hold what Briles did against lebby.
But i do hold lebby teaponaible for bringing Briles on the field after OK specifically told him not to per Castiglione.
Look I do not know how any of this has to do with Jamey Chadwell and I believe we would have to get pretty far down the list to get to Jeff Lebby but I will give my thoughts on the situation nonetheless.
From strictly a FOOTBALL standpoint, Lebby would be an ok hire. He runs an up tempo offense that can score but it would mean we missed on A LOT of candidates. I will tell you that the one person OM fans do not want us to hire is Jeff Lebby. They realize he knows how Lane operates, his tendencies, how he uses the portal, etc. Now, saying all that, you have to be ready for the media firestorm when you hire Lebby because Briles would be visible and that would cause all sorts of drama and bad press that we may not need to bring on a 1st time 1st year HC. I just do not know if we want to bring that all upon our program, especially for a 1st time HC. I mean if Lebby had Briles resume then yea it may be worth the risk, but do we really want to bring all that for a gamble hire.
So many people in this thread don't want to blame Lebby for what his "father in law did" when Lebby was there and complicit.
Those same people also wants to attribute Lenny's with what his father in law did for his potential success when Lebby wasn't there for all of it.
And then further a subsection is saying in the same sentence that it wasn't Lebby, it was Art, but let's have Art on campus anyways.
Disgusting. The dude is mediocre. This isn't a Nick Saban hire. This is a guy with a similar maybe worse resume than Joe Moorhead.
Arizona is 8-3 now after knocking off Utah.
Their coach used the transfer portal quite well.
Lebb would be another disaster. Its time to quit being cheap and go get someone that can turn this thing around. Or keep being a doormat
Willingly associating our program with Art Briles is the quickest way for us to stop having a "product that sells." I think some of you just don't grasp how cancerous he would be to recruiting, donations, fan interest, etc., and he would be bringing down the whole university, not just the football program.
I was told Briles has been in the conversation since before ZA was fired.
