Looking back, we should have tried him at punter or kicker after that in 2021. Might have solved our ST woes!****Quote:

That's night and day from 20-30 years ago. So any analysis of who we are has to start with that. It's very easy to go 6-6 at MSU these days. In Rocky Felker or Jackie's day, it was hard as hell to go 6-5. We weren't much different than USM.Quote:

I know it was his job shopping that irked you the most.Quote:

What a dumb post. Every single MSU fan would be happy with Leach if he gave us Kiffin results. The reason you say we wouldn't is because you know we'll never know because his pirate ass isn't ever going to get us there.Quote:

Its not just Kiffin results, but rather some semblance of upward trajectory. Realistically, I think we all knew Kiffin was set up for much quicker success than Mike was just due to scheme/roster. I was excited to see Mike's offense here and was hopeful it would work; even after the ups and downs of 2020 and '21. The best option for all involved was for it to work. However, now in year 3, the offense is clearly regressing in several areas, most notably WR and QB. And it's the inconsistencies and seemingly total lack of adjustments that are especially frustrating. The OL play this year has mostly been a pleasant surprise, but the entire gimmick of this offense is pretty much void if we can't move the ****ing ball.Quote:

That 11 possession stretch against Auburn was like watching a trainwreck in slow motion.
It's also a sign of things hearing how ****ing tone-deaf Mike is when he bitches about players and "their fat little girlfriends", how the team is scared of Bama's uniform (not a problem for the D, apparently, according to Arnett), how some players aren't hungry, etc....as if he isn't the one putting them on the field and calling the plays.
Nobody but less than a handful of idiots who probably aren't even State fans wanted Lemonis fired. There's a huge difference. Your take is silly.Quote:

Leach = Dan in a lot of ways. It took Dan until year 5/6 to get a playmaker at qb.
But Mullen showed he could win 8 games with lesser talented guys. Leach hasntQuote:

In 2012 we went 8-4. The best win was against 5-7 TN. This team easily goes 8-4 against that schedule. KY was 2-10 in 2012.Quote:

Leach has shown he can go 7-5. We will see about 8-4.
I fully agree he needs to adapt a little. I hope recruiting playmakers at the qb position is a sign of that.
This is where I have landed now. I like Leach and think some of the offensive problems are on Will's shoulders. His decisions and reactions are holding the offense back. However, it's on Leach to make adjustments. Make a concerted effort to run the ball more which includes some designed QB runs for short yardage 1st downs and red zone visits.Quote:

We came out of the huddle after a timeout expecting man coverage so we threw the ball to Woody on a swing out of the backfield. Problem was Georgia was in zone and blew it the **** up. Leach is just awful in short yardage with this offense.Quote:
