Gonna get some eye rolls...
I would get Bob Stoops for a good Cost and then Let him hire high quality assistants. Let BS be the GM of Football.
That's if I were an AD looking for a coach. BS is the Walmart Saban. But probably neither guy wants to run a program anymore.
Hogs 247 moderator floating Dabo as a rumor he is hearing. But I wonder if that is just a distraction for the weekend away from whoever the real coach is.
Killing every thread. Like little Chatty Cathy dolls that won't shut the 17 up.Quote:

And if you come back with preseason win totals this season, keep in mind that our win total was 8.5 in 2018 for Moorhead's first season

So you are saying JMo under performed by half a game and Lebby over performed by 1.5 games with one more game to be playedQuote:

Thoughts?
Ha, I’m a Marine and a 30 year golfer course super you couldn’t hurt my feelings on the hurtingest day of the year with an electrified hurting machine.Quote:

They couldn't make a determination on Lebby because he was working with the worst P4 roster last year and gave us 3.5.Quote:

What if I told you Vegas sets win totals on public perception, not what they think the win total will actually be?Quote:

Vegas sets the win total on what avg Joe thinks a win total will be to get action on both sides. They aren't saying what they think a team will actually winQuote:

Outside of Starkville, nobody could believe we fired Moorhead or Arnett when we did, and a lot of people were even surprised we fired Croom. Of course we know our own situation better than others. Just like Virginia Tech fans knew their situation better than we did, and UCLA fans, etc., etc.
He's had a lot of "huge games" this year.Quote:

Hopefully he evens it out, but it's a sign for a nail biter. I think most every state fan will take our chances with a close game in the last 5 minutes. Yea big chance our coach royally ****s it up, buttttttt he didn't **** it up in two of those chances. Overall 40% odds is objectively what we're looking at (hand waving opponent level obviously lol).
A 2013 style win with Kamario playing the role of Dak (i know Dak was the true starter and just injured) would galvanize the fanbase. Propel us to 6-6 and a bowl game against a shitty school. Win that. Look ahead at a schedule full of teams with ?s. Keep KT / Isaac and upgrade the OL/DL. State could have a 2014 style year next year.
Hope is dangerous. It can drive a man insane. I'm choosing to be insane until 11 AM on friday rather than being proactively pessimistic. Insane people have more fun.
I actually feel better about the egg now than I have all season. I think the combo of them being distracted and us being embarrassed at mizzou is gonna have us ready to pounce. I really hope Friday night and Saturday is a whole bunch of calling me out... I will be here to take my medicine.Quote:

Where is LSU on the Brian Kelly firing/buyout situation. I wonder if the results of that will impact the hiring
Any chance we can talk Dj Durkin into being our DC?
I would really like that. I come here for rumors!!!Quote:

If he doesn't have job he may have to take what he can get. That said if it takes 3 million to get him I'm good with that but we're probably going to have to give Lebby a raise too since he's getting 4.5 million.Quote:

Huff should have game prepped instead of reading tiger droppings and hoping that he indeed does have an interview lined up with Ole Miss.
