But we didn't smoke screen with these other coaches to hire Lebby, someone that from the beginning was a known target.

Well maybe smokescreen wasn't the best way to word it, but having other interviews was always going to happen. I stick to my belief that Zac has wanted Lebby since Arnett was let go.

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.

I like Lebby, but he wasn't the favorite the whole time. That's a hard narrative to get behind. There's no way he was above Lashlee or Chadwell.

For a damn coordinator that's never been a head coach. How y'all liking Selmon right now?

You think he'll be able to fire his buddy he brought with him?

I have a hard time seeing $6 MIL for Lebby. Outside of Napier recently, everyone else has been hired at $2.75-$4.5 MIL to start in the SEC.

That salary could allow us to overspend on a DC.

I disagree. He's arguably a better offensive mind than both of them, although they're both great. At least on par with them. And the connections made more sense along with Lebby recruiting in Mississippi just a few years ago so he already has relationships.

Lebby is really no higher risk than either of those guys. Lashlee was just a coordinator like two years ago? All three would be judged on how well they put a defensive staff together.

Pretty sure it?ll be somewhere around 4-4.5 million. That was false info

I'd feel better about Lebby if he puts together a good staff. He's got the offensive mind. Now can he run the show.

All I have to say if it is Lebby, that our beat writers have ZERO sources. On3 posters have better info than Paul. He's been way behind on this search and I won't be renewing after my trial month

Possible Lebby Staff:

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 or Corey Batoon or Shiel Wood (most of his connections are Durkin. But he has some faint ones with the other 2)
DL - David Turner
Co-DC/OLB/STC - Coleman Hutzler
CB - T-Buck
S - J-Wash

Word is he's very liked among his peers and that will help him put a good staff together. I've also heard he's been reaching out to people he knows well for a few weeks which is one reason I said I think he was always Zac's choice.

Just checked there are no flights coming to golden triangle as of now. Unless for some reason they land somewhere else

I can't see Briles coming because I think Lebby will want to call his own plays & I can't see Briles not wanting to call plays, but man putting those two offensive minds together is a dream come true lol.

Yeah it?s more likely he splits the OC position for title and pay.

If we pay a first time head coach 6 mil a year then Zs is playing checkers
11-24-2023, 05:32 PM
confucius say

No way we pay him 6 million a year.
If it's over 4.5 I would be surprised and disappointed. Should be 4

Switch Turner for Bo Davis and no on TBuck. In effective recruiter and I was never impressed with his DB play here. I?d look at Christian Robinson as well

Agreed. I mean who are we bidding against? Nobody. Give him $3-4.5 MIL, I can see that.

I?d take Bo in a heartbeat. But I?d be shocked if he would come. And him and Lebby don?t have a prior relationship to my knowledge.

I?m good with changing J-Wash and T-Buck. That?s the only spot on staff I?d worry about his hires with. His connections kind of run thin there. At least good ones anyway.

I?d heard some off the field guys might come. But he wasn?t mentioned to me. So wasn?t sure.

It's not a done deal yet. We are still having conversations with other coaches. Lebby has the most smoke for sure though and it may just be finals calls to finish out the process.

Are you getting this from Steve because you're repeating exactly what he's saying in multiple posts? I don't believe it. I like Steve but I don't believe he knows anything about this search. His sources seem bad here. Robbie feels like it's Lebby too.

I?d love to find a way to keep JW. He is an excellent recruiter and where this world of portal takes us, you?ll need guys evaluating other teams for potential players, etc on top of analyst. Is truly going to be a mini NFL where the guys with the ?best GMs? will win.

I?m a big J-Wash fan. He?s a great recruiter. But I know some of our fans don?t care for him for some reason.

Don't know what Steve is saying. Others have said I've had different takes than him throughout the process. Maybe it's because it at the end and things being told start coinciding? I don't know. I've laid out who, what, when as I know over the week. I know I was told and stated that Elko was in play earlier in the week, even this morning and stated that to poster this morning a message. Looks like I missed that for sure.

No y'all are the only two saying the things y'all are saying and it's literally almost word for word the same lol. maybe y'all just have the same bad source on this. I don't know.
