I'm not, but to say we are better off settling for a mediocre established head coach rather than taking a chance that we are getting an up and comer when we hire a coordinator is just wrong, IMO.Quote:

I hope Lebby can put the pedal to the metal this year.
Agree. Definitely prefer offensive minded coaches.Quote:

A lot of action in the next 7-10 days. We have a lot of visits set up and are trying to get 5-6 more set. Have to see how things shake out with the playoff games today and tomorrow. I know we have sent some strong feelers out to guys currently on playoff teams. Just as we did with Squirrel White.
I actually am adding perspective. Only one other coach this century put up as bad of a record as Lebby did and he was fired. Expecting some amount of results next year (5 wins or more) is a ****ing low bar to clear. Idc what "situation" he inherited. This is an SEC job and we have a decent amount of money to spend. An average of 3 wins a year doesn't cut it.Quote:

Add in the fact that we couldn’t have done worse if we had just not lined up a defense at all. To not have a legit 2 deep in modern college football with the welfare money we get from the SEC is criminal.
In the SEC, Mark Stoops and Clark Lea both went 2-10 their first seasons. Lea went 2-10 last year in his 3rd season as well.Quote:

Guys like Hinton, Cooper, Harrell, etc. As a coach, you probably know their best bet is stick it out here, but they see differently because they just want to be on the field somewhere and they have representatives telling them that program B is going to value them more than we do.Quote:

Finish with Grace and watch out👀Quote:

I would assume a possible target for us with Loadholt onboard.
He didn't enter the portalQuote:
