Let's just stay away from the Art Briles narrative. Time to pull in the same direction.

This is a major endorsement for Lebby!

I know of 2 other coaches who killed the interview: Ricky Ray and Joe Moorhead. Throw Barbay in there too. Thank goodness we didn't hire a coach from the Sunbelt. This is big boy football.

We needed a non compete to keep him from bolting to KY too quickly. Stoops is heavily rumored to get the Iowa job soon when Frentz retires. Sumrall, right now, would be KY top target. We can't have another coach search in a year or two.

Now, he might be an advisor to his son in law, but he won't be seen doing it.

According to Steve, if Lebby does get the job, some of the staffers are interested to join Lebby. Of courses, Steve does not have sources. His source is the Oklahoma beat writers who believe Lebby is getting the State job.

Oh ok. If you are comfortable, who were/are (maybe) the top targets you heard? Just out of curiosity. Comparing notes haha

It's soooo predictable. It's the most mittittippi tate thing ever. It's not surprising if true, but disappointing. I'll support the decision once I get over the letdown.

Yeah - that is always the case when an OC becomes the HC. A RB coach wants a title upgrade to Co-OC. I'm not thrilled with that idea, but at the end of the day you will have to trust the new HC with assistant coach hires.

Yeah. Sumrall will be a disaster wherever someone takes a chance on him. I?ll eat my crow if I?m wrong. But when you look into that record and see the actual meat. It?s a house on quick sand. He will win 6-7 games next year and start falling off a cliff. Chip Lindsey?s guys will eventually run out eligibility.

Mullen also blew out his interview. I'm just stating what I was told. We were impressed with his interview and more importantly his plan, that he moved to the near top of the list. I was also told that if we could get a deal in place for Elko, that is where I was told we were like to go. Even this morning but a lot of chatter about Lebby picked up...so here we are.

But if it does happen, and Briles is seen being involved sign me up. Makes the hire better in my opinion.

He just scored 62 points on live television. We are going to have an elite offense. And he?s going to hire a good DC with his connections. Imagine Dino Babers will be on staff as AHC/RB or something along those lines for him to lean on.

It's like 7 said. Bet the backup options as a State fan and make money.

So hire him as OC. No problem.

See below but originally days ago I was told it was Fritz and Lebby with Lebby as a fall back. Fritz fell off pretty quick but Lebby was always the fall back.

No way in hell Sumrall was the guy we wanted. Not a chance. I know why Bucky would have liked it because Will could have probably stayed & the offense continue being boring as hell under him. Lebby being the guy is probably why we're getting reports this morning that Will is hitting the portal.

I'm gonna go out on a limb & say Lebby agreed weeks ago & everything else has been a formality.

They're being ridiculous. It seems personal with Bucky but we can't help Will can only run a pure air raid, which doesn't really exist anywhere anymore without Coach Leach... Or maybe a pro style mostly running offense which we can't recruit well enough to run & is boring as hell.

Don't know other than they like Sumrall better. Fritz would consider Houston as well, his daughter and grand kids live there.

Believe what you want, doesn't mean anything to me. But we absolutely did not have anything agreed upon with Lebby weeks ago. Didn't happen at all.

Why would I have a personal problem with Lebby? The ceiling is extremely high but the floor could be Arnett again

The floor is not Arnett. We will score at least some points & always a have a tough hard nosed quarterback not afraid to get hit. We will average more than 10-12 points per game against SEC teams. That I can guarantee.

Fritz supposedly wants the Houston job that is likely to open. His daughter lives there.

The floor is way higher than Arnett. His staff will dwarf this one in coaching abilities.

It is pretty clear to me that Selmon always knew he could fall back and land Lebby. It is a home run move for Lebby. He goes from coordinator to SEC head coach and probably a 20 million guarantee. No brainer for him.

Looking back at the whole situation, I believe Lebby has been the guy Selmon wanted all along. I believe everything else was a smoke screen & the "rumors" we were getting were from sources of coaches reaching out to State. Of course there were other interviews... That's how it works.

If it's not Lebby then I'll eat crow, but that's what I believe. It was all just to perfect of a storm & the Selmon/Oklahoma/Lebby/already knows the state of Mississippi connection. Just too perfect to pass up.

You don't smoke screen a coordinator hire. We had face to face with multiple coaches before Lebby, we reached out to them. Odom was the one that pushed hard to get into the door with us. Now did Selmon believe that Lebby may end up being the best guy or a good option in the end? Sure that's possible. But we didn't smoke screen with these other coaches to hire Lebby, someone that from the beginning was a known target.
