Again - get your mind off O'Connor. The fact he was mentioned so quickly should immediately put him low in odds to get the job. Kendall is the Bert Stare of Twitter until it is a done deal. He makes his money by making others money.

Oh I don't have my mind set on any coach. This could and will go in a lot of different directions and I would say the odds of it being someone that isn't getting mentioned a ton is high.

I agree and Selmon is doing a nice job of keeping everyone off the scent of what is happening.

Zac did a hell of a job with the football hire in terms of the hiring process. He played it extremely close to the vest until the hire was made. Things do not get out of his circle of trust. I would expect the same group of Zac, Joey Bailey, and a few high ups will play this one the same way.

We’re all gonna find out aren’t we.

I saw where Wes Johnson said he has no plans on being in Starkville. Nothing strange about that comment while his team is still playing. When he took the job at Georgia, I never thought much about him being a HC, well I was wrong, I hope there is interest, and he is interested. Same for the Virgina HC, hope he is interested, either would be an upgrade.

I still think there's probably more of a chance with BOC than Wes. Now, a week ago I would have said there's less than a 0% chance Wes comes to Starkville. It sounds like that door is cracked more than originally thought.

I like this comment better than "if my college does not invest in Baseball, then I need to look at my options."

One guy is respecting his employer and the other is a chiseler.

I may be wrong but I think Mini-Me is going for a payraise. BOC is more likely because he isnt getting things he needs. And make no mistake- if BOC gets some of what he is asking for- he will stay there. Va has a choice to make in the next couple weeks on the future of their program

I like them being forced to give raises. That?s good.

If that is happening.

And I will say this about Wes. He was only here for a short time and really didn't get a chance to fully implement his pitching program. I think a lot of the injuries were due to him having to rush his program and I think there was some miscommunication between Wes and the S&C staff too.

Would be curious to see if he brings Will and Ammo with him. Could make Will the assistant head coach potentially.

He wouldn't bring Will. My guess is that they'd promote Will and it'd be a fight for who got Ammo. If we went the asst route and hired Coggin, I would expect Ammo comes with him.

Not advocating for hiring Will or anything. Just passing along the info I've gotten

If we hired Wes and Coggin gets promoted that isn't the worst thing in the world. I suspect that Wes will be a candidate for Arkansas when Dave Van Horn retires. Coggin with head coaching experience waiting to take over the reigns seems like a good thing for us. If it plays out.

Agree with this. This had been in the works a while and I'm impressed.

I used to think that way in an employer/employee relationship but that goes both ways. It?s a two way street.

These guys can?t do anything about people mentioning their names. If they aren?t getting what they need to compete then they should t shutdown possible rumors and neither would I.

You guys are some of the very few impressed with the football hire. We went in saying we wanted someone with HC'ing experience and came out with a coordinator from his previous school that had a worse season than what we fired. We are in Y2 and just making a bowl game is very iffy still.

If we still had Arnett we would have just fired him for driving through the Starkville Wendy's naked. Arnett was the worst coach I have ever seen at MSU and our program wasn't going anywhere until we fired him. Lebby has had to clean up his mess.

I'm in no way saying we should have kept Arnett. But I am saying nothing has been impressive about Lebby to this point. Best thing he has done so far is land a legacy QB that most State coaches would have signed.

LOL! You still can't get over the fact that Arnett and his RTGDFB ways sucked, and you will never admit that the situation Jeff Lebby inherited from Arnett was basically the worst situation in all of P4 football.
