Texas #16 scoring defense - 34 points
SMU - #15 scoring defense - 28 points
Iowa St. - #33 scoring defense 50 points

37 PPG against Top 35 scoring defenses. Try again.

Elko is waiting on A&M and Mich state. I think it's Odom, Fritz, Sumrall or Lebby. had a face to face with fritz, maybe more than one, been chatting up Lebby alot. Odom is ready to move right now and Sumrall is still busy too, but this does not mean Selmon will have a noon Saturday presser.

If it's out of those I hope it's Sumrall with Odom next in line.

True or false, this will be a narrative because OK wants him gone.

I don't think it's Sumrall. I think there's an issue and we're foolish at best to pay a $5mm buyout for Odom. No SEC team would do that and it would show what fools we really are. I won't be surprised if there is another name that pops up either. If things start to take off fast, watch out.

Would Lebby really need to address his team? Was that not part of what was said?

It's really hard to believe we can 17 up such an easy time to be handling a coach search, but we're trying hard. Been disappointing at best and we seem to have locked onto some booster guys. Our boosters suck by the way. They can 17 up a wet dream and do at every opportunity. Then you've got leadership that just doesn't prioritize winning in football. They've got the chance to make a good hire but it'll probably one of the guys we've heard already and none are impressive options or recharge a dead program.

That our boosters could 17 up a wet dream is an understatement. We have been and always will be our own worst enemy. I do not know who this is going to be yet but I still hope we dont Mittippy Tate this up.

Who is a good hire in your opinion. You are constantly critical and never offer suggestions.

Thank you for posting this. I was about to go pull the stats then saw you already did. What a misinformed post, Lebby has that offense humming against good competition.

Lebby is a fall back option for someone else from the information I'm getting. Selmon may be ninja like.

NFL front office guy told me Sumrall or Fritz would be his choices. Mature leaders. Not high on on any of the others.

I was saying this last night. It has a Greg Byrne vibe to it. Let's hope it doesn't turn out to be a templeton/Cohen situation.

so, a coach hasn?t been hired?

The more I think about it, the more I like Sumrall. I just can't get excited about Lebby. His past definitely makes me uncomfortable.

I just don?t get the love for Fritz other than he has years of HC experience. Most of his coaching record is meh

Somebody sell me on Fritz

We have an agreement with someone at least in principle but it's a coaching search. You have to have fall back options to pivot quickly. Lebby had a face to face with us yesterday but that's the best information I have, he is a fall back option. If I end up being wrong, I will eat it. But that's what I'm told.

I'm hearing good things too. Selmon knows this hire will make or break his tenure here. He ain't stupid enough to settle

It’s prob Odom who would’ve recruited better at Missouri if the president there hadn’t ostracized himself from every big donor the University ever had during that time.

You've been told by someone you trust we have an agreement with someone?

Obviously. Look at the current state of the team.

Lebby is better than three sitting head coaches?

C'mon man, put the pre-Thanksgiving meal cocktails down.

Better? That's hard to say... but the other guys are boring as hell and have 7 wins as a ceiling.... Lebby could be worse, but at least he's got the attitude and offense to generate excitement and a higher ceiling....

That said, he's not in my top 5 (at least), but we're debating the bottom of the barrel hires here...

Odom bringing his OC from UNLV is better than hiring Lebby as head coach. We need an experienced head coach. Lebby ain't it.

I?ll just say this?the people I know, who have coached on SEC teams, say that Sumrall, Chadwell, Odom, Elko would be the best options going forward. Said Fritz would be if he were younger. Lebby would be a trainwreck with no idea of what he?s doing or what?s going on. But by all means go with a bump and giggle offense. Hope you like an offense that?s only bubble screens, direct snaps, jet sweeps over and over again.

I'd agree on that about Odom if he we're bringing his OC, but everything I've heard is that he's not and that the OC will either be at Dan diego St or UNLV as HC.

An agreement but not a LOU yet unless it was done late last night, as far as I know.

Are these the same boosters that supposedly got the entire offensive staff hired before we even hired an OC? Not sure how anyone could put much blame on Barbay when he had zero say in his offensive assistant coaches.
