Our NIL donors did their part. Lebby let them down.

We are not "massively improved" from 2023, which is the measuring stick. Lebby will never get credit for improving on his own bad year.

I wouldn?t worry about him getting canned after this year. If we, did in fact, allocate the resources, like we keep hearing then a coach will come here.

The optics are nonsense largely, considering three P5 coaches have been fired mid season, that?s actually ridiculous.

Could not be a worse time to hire a coach. UF, LSU, Penn State and others along with all the dominos that will follow.

A&M thumped us. Outside of that, we've matched up and challenged every team we've played. A massive improvement on any season since Leach passed awat.

Thanks Hack, finally someone that recognizes the improvement. Yes game management and situational play calling has hurt us, but that?s a quick fix.

In the real world, we had the roster and the talent to beat both of them, and it was Lebby who stopped it. A "replacement level" coach wins both of those games. I've already identified 16 successful head coaches who would probably take our job, so the "poor ol' Mississippi State can never expect to hire a better coach than Lebby" argument is out the window.

With a competent "replacement level" coach we are 6-2 and looking at a ranked finish. With a good coach (like one that we'll be able to hire in a few weeks) we could be 7-1, and we'd right there with our former peers Ole Miss and Vanderbilt and talking about the playoffs.

Don't let the #NoWeCan't Lebby fanboys gaslight you into thinking we can't do better than a coach who is 2 wins below the level of our talent.

You are also saying that said coach of your choosing would be playing with the team that Lebby put together and calling the same game that Lebby called except they would make a few decisions differently that would win us the game. I?m not giving Lebby a pass, but I?m also not saying any coach you have listed puts this same team together and puts us in position to win all these games. Too many variables going back to when this years team was put together to say said coach would have us 7-1 or 6-2 right now. No one knows how good any of those coaches would be until they get here and try it themselves with one the weakest NILs in the conference. What you are basically saying is let Lebby be the OC and recruiting coordinator and hire another head coach to be CEO.

I just don't think we're competing for the same coaches that those 3 are.

Does everything have to be spelled out for you two lovers? When Lane takes the LSU job, Ole Miss will have to find a coach. Same for the programs that lose their coaches to UF and Penn State. Plus Arkansas, UCLA and probably Auburn will be looking for coaches.

Dumbass number 6 with his late hit on Arch and I truly believe this is the biggest and the reason for the loss.

Then the other two would be deciding to punt the ball to 21 rather than punt it out of bounds and then the dumbass penalty on the early field goal that led to a touchdown

But number 6 and his dumbass penalty is the biggest to me

One out of those three would be on Lebby. Lebby should have also punted up 10 and on our side of the field

Yeah, we know the theory. It still doesn't mean that whoever we want will be unavailable. For example:

Florida hires Franklin.
Penn State hires Rhule. Nebraska hires Bengals HC Zac Taylor.
LSU hires Kiffin. Ole Miss hires Pete Golding.

The chains are closed, not a cascade that affects us. Obviously any or all of those may be wrong, but there's just no reason to think that we're screwed without Lebby, especially when we're probably screwed with him anyway.

No but we would be competing with whoever they hire their coach from. Or even one more level down from that. That is the dominos the poster was referring to

Seems to be the front runners. Obviously any or all could be wrong, but not likely to see the huge cascade because some schools will hire someone who isn't a current college head coach.

You didn’t debunk it. It’s just your opinion. You also said “all those may be wrong.” Jeez you need to take a break for a minute. Once again, I’m sure all of us are pissed at Lebby some kind of way, along with some players. We just all don’t agree with firing him.

There are 12 FBS job openings with many more on the way. And you want to fire a 2nd year coach who has vastly improved the program year over year. You fell on your head as a baby didn?t you.

I dont think UF hires Franklin but again these are all guesses and you have proven that youre an idiot so ill take logic over emotion.
