If Lebby wants to quit because Quaoarsking and msstate7 don't think 0-12 is good enough (not even the majority position on this board), then he just isn't mentally strong enough to be a head coach anywhere.

Yeah. So. Um. What you said Cadavy.
No one on this board except for probably me and Tater thought this team could win more than 5 games this year at the start of the season. Here we are with the real idea that we could be 7-1 right now. (and honestly should be) what's crazy is if we weren't losing by nail bitters and just getting our crap beat into us, would that be better? I would think we would be happy to see we are this close. Crazy.
Oh stop it lol. That argument has been brought up everytime we discuss firing someone. Lebby doesn't care what fans think, but he does care what administration and serious donors think. He's a big boy that we've made rich but the only person that can save Lebby at this point is Lebby. Win one game (one game for crying out loud) and save your job.
It's a fair point and worthy of discussion. I predicted 5 wins before the season as well. But that prediction was made considering we had the second hardest schedule in the country. Turns out the schedule has been average after all. I think that's where the evaluation has turned against Lebby (as it should). I'll say it again, I'm all for the season playing out, if he can win one measly game (in 2 years) he keeps it. But if he goes 0-16 and the cherry on top is a skull dragging by Ole Miss in front of 25,000 rebel fans at Davis Wade...see ya!
Yes, its plummeted all the way down to 14th

Lebby won't be fired barring some ridiculous unforeseen situation. the team is better. i'm as disappointed as anyone about the last two weeks and throw in the tennessee game as well. one thing that absolutely has to get better, and Lebby can control, is situational football/attention to detail. those things are lacking going all the way back to the arizona state game. i was saying he needed to have a veteran "bench coach" at that time. it is a lot to deal with calling plays, planning the next possession, and also the situational in game stuff that a HC has to deal with.
as long as he doesn't lose the team another win is definitely doable and if it comes this weekend that could snowball into another victory. time will tell.
If he wins, he's in. All he has to do is go 1-15 in the SEC. He has yet another winable game Saturday, can he do it? We shall see, hopefully he can. If he does, then the attention turns to how to improve his staff (bring on an OC?) for next season because clearly he needs help from an overall management perspective.
We are going to run Lebby off bc we think we are something special in the college football world. He will go to a G5 school (with better foresight than us) with what he has learned here, make a few adjustments and changes to his coaching and offensive philosophies, win his ass off and wind up at a P4 school in three years working on a legit playoff bid.
And the same fans moaning and bitching about him now will be the same fans moaning and bitching that we got rid of him. You can write that in blood.
Zac has a ton of patience and belief with Lebby. As long as Zac is here, Lebby is fine. Is it concerning that he isn't winning and closing out teams? Yes. But none of our actual big time boosters, not the ones who claim to be, are remotely concerned and understand we are trending in the right direction.
Also if Zac left, I have been led to believe that Terry Prentice would receive strong consideration for the job and he has equal faith in Jeff.
