KT will most likely have to start after Shapen gets hurt in 25 and then we will likely lose him to another SEC school in the portal next December.Quote:

I don't worry about losing MS kids as muchQuote:

His fate unfortunately may have been sealed by the SEC schedulers. To give State or Kentucky or Vandy a schedule for a 2 year home and home like they gave State is sadistic! It should be criminal. Don't we have some Attorneys who can filed an injunction against next years' State schedule? We all know UGA and Alabama would never be schedule to Top 7 SEC teams in back to back seasons!😳😳😳
If we can't win at least 1 SEC game and look just as lost on defense with the same DC, I don't see Lebby surviving the outrage from the fan base for a third year. I'm barely hanging on right now and I'm usually Mr. Sunshine around here.Quote:

We will be better defensively next year. Probably about the same offensively. Maybe a little better.
But we will have the toughest schedule in the league (america) again next year.
Then by 2026 we should be in a bowl game again.
We offered the James Madison OT while here on a visit
We can get to 6 next year. It will be the same formula as last year. Keep Shapen upright and be just below average on defense. The worry will be can we run the full offense with Shapen. The one game we halfway opened it up he got hurt. I still would swing for a Preston Stone or hell even Maalik Murphy. On defense, we will be better. We just need 1 to 2 war daddies on the DL and I will feel decently confident that we can get to average next year on D.Quote:

Luke Altmyer completed 61% of his passes for 2543 yards with 21 TDS against only 5 interceptions. He was sacked 31 times but he also ran for 4 TDS including a long of 37 yards.
Counting his 31 sacks, he is credited with 96 total carries for over 240 positive yards.
And oh yeah, his team is ranked 22 with a 9-3 record. So missing on QBs does happen and that one was in our backyard but didn't fit our offense at the time.
What about my comments is the worst from me?Quote:

Start of the week I was willing to give Lebby a chance. Right now - our two deep looks thinner than a frat boy's wallet after a night at the pony.
Lost our best CB and haven't replaced him, plus need depth there and haven't done squat. DL recruiting is nonexistent as is Edge. Still looking for top WRs but getting next in line guys so far. OL depth is better but still short on talent, no SEC RB on this roster unless Davis is 100%. Shapen is mediocre at best. I feel great about next season! Because I see people losing their jobs next season that should've lost them this season.
Cooter you were real positive on this staff until a few weeks ago. Honestly, what changed that. You have good insight and so I'm genuinely curious.Quote:
