Also, our school draws more the outdoorsman type student who prefer those type of activities besides going to a football game. We have proven with Mullen we can fill a stadium and be just as great as other fanbases when we have exceptionally good years like 2010 and 2014 and 2017 and the fan base is pulling in the same direction. That has not been the case since Mullen left because our ADs keep making mistake after mistake with their football coaching hires.Quote:

Lebby will learn and improve just the same as how he has improved this team in only one year. Pour another and contemplate this as I know you to be a very rational poster.... And again, I understand but tomorrow when emotions subside and objective reasoning sets in I'm sure as a MSU fan you will reboot as we have done time and again.... Here's to expecting next year to change this perspective that is so hard to deal with. I know you have been a patient supporter and a voice of reason so don't give up on the optimistic bunch of us now lolQuote:

If Dan Mullen is remotely halfway partly interested you call him right now
You 100% have to reach out and see. Can you imagine KT in the Mullen offense, with a roster built by NIL rather than Mullen's recruiting skills?Quote:

I know that Lebby walked into a tough situation, but it wasn't "get humiliated at home by the 6th best team in MAC" bad.
There are times I feel this way , but the reality is our team is 100X better than last year:
Lebby has to get credit for that.
No, he doesn't have to get credit for getting out of a hole he helped dig. We were probably destined to be bad last year no matter what, but most coaches wouldn't have gotten blown out by Toledo.Quote:

Ok I get it but don't forget that replacing last years team IS a big part of that performance that you speak ofQuote:

Assuming the answer is no, then I don't give Lebby much credit for improving our roster, since it's all about money nowadays. If Brent Vigen or someone else were our head coach, they would presumably have the same access to NIL funds to bring in players they want.
Progress
It is undeniable
Texas toyed with us last year.
This year we should have won.
