Based on some stuff I've heard Joe was as tough as whip cream on the players. They could do just about anything they wanted to. There was zero responsibility.

I think the coaches need to do their jobs and show up when a meeting or practice is scheduled. I think there's a complete breakdown in communication. And yes, some kids need to get right.

I mean- Joe took them to a water park. Could you see Saban ever doing that?

I've heard the same. I was patient with Joe but the things I heard before the Tennessee game last year, how we played in that game and then what happened after that game told me it was all over. And then of course his wonderful pc after the Egg and then the crap show that was our bowl game prep and bowl game. I mean not only did the wheels come off, the car was in flames and all occupants were doa.

Lets not act like the world is ending. If we finish some red zone possessions we are 2-1 probably 3-0. But you can always tell who the riff raff are when things get hard

Thanks - very helpful

Gotcha. This is very disheartening if our coaches are not fulfilling their duties. Being on time for your job is one of those duties, in my opinion. That sets a terrible tone for your players.

Yep, including not taking their own tests in online classes. Some folks wanted to give JoMo a pass on that but it spoke volumes to me as a huge "culture problem". You can have 1 or 2 bad apples but 10 made it clear it was systemic. Also, the water park trip made me raise an eyebrow as well as no longer going out on the farm as Mullen had done.

I noticed that too when KJ spoke about Leach

I have to wonder if the coaches are doing the not showing up on time on purpose. I can remember in basic training standing at parade rest in formation waiting on our drill SGT’s for hours at a time and they did it for a reason.

He does do stuff like that. Take them to his lake house and such.

Sure makes me wonder. If it just started I'm on your side, but if it's been like this from the beginning, I'm not so sure. If it's not on purpose, how in the heck do coaches of all people not show up on time?

Only recruits..... not once they're on the team. Similar to Mullen bringing the recruits to his house.

No, he has done it for the whole team. A couple of times a year.

I guarantee the whole team doesn't go to his lake house a couple times a year..... guarantee

Certainly not in the middle of fall camp

He takes them to his lake house and boat riding when they check in just before the start of fall camp. All players. At least that's what I remember from Rolling with the Tide - Training Days.

I think some (a lot) of you guys are digging way further than you have to.

Yep.

They don't all go the same day. But it happens.

Good lord reading some of the posts from a couple of people on here, why should we even take the damn field next Saturday? "Leach sucks, I'm over this experiment, it'll never work etc.". We just hired the most successful coach that we have had before coming to MSU since Jackie and we have people wanting him gone 3 games in. Can the man at least try to build his ****ing program before we kick him to the curb?

^^^^^^^This^^^^^^^

Bunch of cry babies on this board. Give it time. Nobody thought this was going to be a great year. Our program was a dumpster fire last year. As long as we don?t get delay of game on the first play and our linebacker doesn?t knock out our QB we are improving. Please step back from the ledge.

We do not want Lane Kiffin showing a MSU recruit this statement. Remember, there is a huge social media evolution evolving in both high school and college football thru-out America coast to coast. Whether you are right or wrong, it does not matter because perceptions are everything.

I mean if it steers a half-ass player or a cancer away from our locker room and puts it in theirs so be it.

The locker room status is not the point. The point is a poster used WOK and BLM in his post. You can bet that this post is filed by our recruiting opposition. You can bet that this could very well factor in future recruiting. The game of football is being impacted by social media at the high school and college level. A recruit could feel that he does not want to play in front of certain types of fans based on what he gets on social media. A 5 star recruit goes to the NFL whether he plays for Alabama or San Jose State? The upscale players can determine their own fate without a major college. A major college can not determine its fate without the premium players. This is being learned thru social media?

Jesus. We are 3 games into a new era of football at Mississippi State and I just read the posts that I did? From what I gathered... Leach and Cohen are trading blows and one will be fired by Wednesday morning, roughly 15-20 players turned in their jersey today and are no longer on the team, we will no longer have a football team due to not enough players, Leach was mean to some players and hurt their feelings, Leach isn’t putting in the effort to win games, Cohen is mulling
Over firing him 3 games into a season, etc. did I miss anything? ��

Although I expect that our strength and conditioning will soon be not up to par for a majority of the fan base.

So you mean a school who is called Rebels, has statues and won’t take them down, a school who is Named OLE MISS (hopefully you know the meaning of that), a school who not too long ago had to ban the confederate flag from their stadium because they waved it all the time..... wants to use a post from a message board that says two sayings and is a opinion of one “fan”, no offense WMD.... trying to
Make a point....

Dude, there is shit like this on every message board. Leach could find a whole damn file on Nafoom or 247 to use... chill out man...

That was definitely a huge issue last year. That appears to be fixed- and will only get better once we get back to a normal football year. Right now it's about fixing attitudes.

Jesus Christ at the projecting here.... Sorry you lost your flag, bud (As they say, time heals all wounds**), but yes, lets pile on the black football player who is born and raised in MS for not "just shutting up and playing ball". Seriously, this type of infantile speculation is gross.
