Yeah, I mean there was a guy on the board last night that wanted Sumrall over Elko. So, yeah, the IQ on this board is not very high.Quote:

They look great, but I do wonder how it translate when you're worse at literally every offensive positionQuote:

This is where I was about to go. And let me tell you, Ole Miss fans do NOT want us hiring Lebby...which should tell you plenty about the hire.Quote:

It's working at UT right now. It's worked at UCF and Ole Miss. It worked at Baylor. We are going to have to hit the portal hard. And QB is key just like any offense. We need a legit dual threat guy.Quote:

Anyone who automatically calls it a bad hide has no idea what they are talking about and are simply pissed at Art Briles.Quote:

Lebby?s possible staff here
Offensive Staff:
OC/QB - Kendall Briles (maybe)
If not:
Co-OC/TE- Joe Jon Finley
Co-OC/QB - Jon David Baker
(One of the 2 above would not be on staff if Briles comes, Baker is current PGC/TE coach at Ole Miss)
OL - Randy Clements or Jake Thornton
WR - Bump or L?Damian Washington or Tucker (below)
RB - Anthony Tucker or Dino Babers
Defensive Staff:
DC/LB - DJ Durkin
DL - David Turner
Co-DC/OLB/STC - Coleman Hutzler
CB - T-Buck
S - J-Wash
I haven't paid any attention the the Briles situation. I only know their connection from this board. I just wanted a more qualified Head Coach from another school with more experience as head coach. I didn't want another coordinator. I hope he works out. I doubt he will. I'll cheer for State regardless.Quote:

Be pissed at Art. Lebby has been hired by 4 separate programs since then. They need to stop clutching their pearls.Quote:

Briles is matching Lebby punch for punch right now in this game, with lesser talent. Maybe the other OC should be on our short list too
