Isn't that the truth.

I never wanted Leach fired, even as half the boards considered his offense a threat to their own masculinity. I was one of the first people to give up on Arnett, when most of this board said I was crazy and that we'd never fire him midseason.

That's 5 out of 5 that I was correct. And I'm not even pulling the plug on Lebby yet. I'll wait until the season is over. But you better believe whatever recommendation I make at the end of the year is going to turn out to bw right like it was for the last 5 head coaches.

Lebby did get better guys in the portal, this year. And it shows. And we need more.

We are a year behind not because of Lebby but bc of the circumstances that preceded him. People holding last year over Lebby either have an agenda or are ignorant as hell.

We are a year behind because a lot in the fanbase, and it's your right btw, refused to embrace NIL and understand you have to spend to compete. Lebby was coming with a spoon to a gun fight. We were getting guys that couldn't get on the field at G5 schools because THAT'S WHAT WE COULD AFFORD. We spent on offense in the 23 offseason because we knew defense would be bad and we were just going to try and outscore everyone. This past offseason, with an infusion of cash, we were actually able to spend effectively on both sides but still lack the depth.

We are miles better than we were when Lebby got here, but some people will never understand how truly bad it was when he got here.

I don't see it as a negative. I get frustrated as that is such a loser talking point form fans. Does pissville do this? No! We talk ourselves into thinking we are the scum of the SEC. No wonder coaches see us as a stepping stone.

Yeah that would help a ton. But perspective and perception are what the mind makes of a situation. And when we sit here and constantly tell ourselves a losers idea. It's just frustrating.

I retract everything. I was wrong
