I tend to agree.The only way I would want to keep him if he loses to om again is if we have 11 wins going into the Egg Bowl, lol. I still thinks 7 wins with an om win is my floor for this year based on the schedule but I want us to do better.

As long as he makes a bowl game he’s not getting fired. Whether he beats OM or not. Cohen is going to give Leach a longer leash because he’s a very important hire for him.
And fan support will crater. Cohen better hope Jans gets us to the Tourney next year. 6-6 and a bowl game is unacceptable next season. Year three with a veteran offense, 6-6 ain't cutting it. Throw in a loss to OM and people will bail on football the way they did basketball.
1 game. Following the 2017 season.
Bowl games have always been a horrible way to judge a team and coach, especially since players started quitting before the bowl games and don't care to show up.
Sure, but then you have to remove dans nonconference wins from a year since leach didn't get to play any in 2020.
******* last 4 years were 8-4, 10-2, 5-7, 8-4. That's 7.75 wins a year. If you count bowl games he won, it's 8.25. So an 8-4 2022 regular season tops what Dan averaged in the regular season his last 4 years.
Mississippi State University won 10 games in 2014, 9 games in 2015, 6 in 2016, & 9 in 2017.
Manipulate the #’s anyway you want the record book has 3 9 win seasons in Mullen last 4 years. Anything is just talk. Mullen last 4 seasons MSU won 34 games. That’s not speculation that’s just conjecture that’s truth.
I'm still upset that Leach didn't attend Pro Day. Barring some major situation that screams I don't care. I've never heard of any successful coach doing players like that. Current players are watching this. The because I said so mentality will become a downfall quickly. However, Leach is pimping this university so he wins either way.
It's not manipulation. It's a fact. I'm just counting regular season games and you are counting bowl games. Both are facts.
But to get to 34 you are giving Dan credit for a game in which he didn't even coach. At best, even counting bowl games, dan won 33 games his last four years, which is 8.25 as I stated above (Which is phenomenal at Miss State by the way- never been done before and likely never will again).
If we go 8-4 against the toughest schedule in college football with the worst talent in the west then leach should probably win sec coach of the year.
Certainly should at 9-3.
