I don't like the idea of boosters forcing a coach to do it their way. Pick the coach and let him do it how he wants to.

There is a real world that you are missing out on.

If Lebby has to be told to change DCs, then how can anyone funding the program have any faith in him?

It if the financiers tell the AD to tell Lebby to fire the defensive staff or they withhold funding the department, and then the AD tells them to stick it where the sun don?t shine, we will be looking for an AD and a new Coaching Staff!

Dude the black and white world you are searching for doesn’t exist. It’s all shades of gray and that’s the way it is. You have a hard on for the guy and that is entirely your purgative.

As it should be.

The only way I would fire Lebby would be if someone like Saban was begging for our job. I highly doubt that's the case.

We have always been the apple of Saban's eye!

Well, that's ****ing stupid. 11-1 we'd be in the GD playoffs...like OM.

Keith Carter gave KIFFIN a time frame and said “by this date.” You think we aren’t telling Lebby who to hire?

I mean it starts at the top with a president who would MUCH RATHER beat OM than have a good season.And I mean fair or not, we have a lot of boosters that grew up where beating OM was the season. We were both usually around the same record so that is how a successful season was judged.

Devil's advocate here. How much better would 2014 and 2015 for that matter have been with an Egg Bowl victory?

I will fully admit I might not fully get the Ole Miss hate because I don?t live in the area, but I would rather win 9 or 10 games like we did in 2024,2015,2017 and 2022 than beat ole Miss and be terrible

My preference is to have an 9-10 win season and win the Egg Bowl. It has happened before. 1980, 1999, 2010, 2022

Its simple but not easy. Get a better staff and better players and we will win. Lebby isnt perfect but he is good enough to win with equal or close to equal talent.

In 14 you finish 11-1 and are either the first team out of the playoffs or the last team in

In 15 you finish 9-3 and go to the Sugar Bowl.

Those types years are kind of what I was talking about with the years OM and us were the same, that is how we judged a successful season.

Look how spread out those years are, 42 between number 1 and 4... sad and pathetic. OM just did that in 2023, 2024 and 2025.

This is peak insanity

Man, Hev had some damn good lines. He was an asshole to players and fans alike but he could field an OL and we never had bad OLs with him. His players also would run through a brick wall for him. Hell he took a line of an MAIS walk on, 2 MAIS 3 stars, a 3 star from Louisiana, and a 3 star from Mobile and they were one of the best lines in the country.

Exactly. He made walk-on Ben Beckwith an All-SEC caliber player. Games are won and lost in the trenches. An OL coach the quality of Hev is worth 1-2 wins. I don't care how many people he pisses off. That's pretty much every good offensive line coach ever. They're a different breed.

According to SECrant as of last year. There is a photo of Heb in a Lowe's uniform working. If that is true kinda crazy.
