If he is on the hot seat, they'd be dumb to leak it this early in the season. If he's fired, it'll be done quickly and without much if any notice.
If he's retained, we're going to have to sell football tickets to people who are interested in watching paint dry. I 100% hope I'm wrong and it works out, but it's been PAINFUL to watch this team.
No. It's not. The previous staff would have gotten JJ Harrell and Noreel White very early in the process. The previous staff's pursuit of Trey Petty likely would have lead to Braylon Burnside as well.Quote:

We don?t have enough boosters with enough money to supersede the ones who are still ?poor ole Mississippi State? and ?beating Ole Miss is all that matters?. The short sightedness is perplexing.Quote:

Our boosters don't make decisions after six games into the season.
Losing to Ole Miss tends to have an impact.
No point in arguing w a guy who is always "right". Even though in this case, he'd be wrong.Quote:

This is what keeps getting me. If you ask me in a vacuum does MSU fire a coach after one year for going 4-8, I would say no way. He's probably gone after year two, but we're just not going to fire a coach after one year without at least a bad OOC loss.Quote:

Presumably next year he will have learned somethings, but the drop in talent is probably going to far outpace any improvements he makes in coaching. So then he's going to be in a portal world with a bad two year track record trying to convince new players to come her and the existing players with options to stay, and that just seems damn near impossible.
That's how we wound up giving Jomo the "bowl game extension". And the bowl game just proved we should have fired him to begin with.Quote:

I'm telling you right now. USM is going to give us all we want and may win.
We are a very very bad football team. Like mid tier in the MAC bad. Our only shot to win a SEC game was when South Carolina made Tulu look like a heisman contender. We couldn't even close that one out.
There was no energy in the crap offense last year. Hell, I can throw a dump pass to the running back or screen pass to a WR.Quote:
