A lot of parents, sure. But I think that's kind of the point. We'll see how it works and if we can get back to being the 7-5 program dan had us.

Interesting tidbit you have there-thanks for sharing.
I live in Starkville. Interact w folks in the community and also on campus staff daily -a lot of them people who are involved with athletics ( both admin and coaches).... and I had no clue how bad it was. Thank the Internet and it?s anonymous sources for getting this word out.
Well, the first place I would look if I were you would be here.

It was clearly not deliberate because if it was Cohen wouldn't have offered the job to Judge first. And he wouldn't have talked to Napier either if that was the case as well.
The fact of the matter is going forward based on the way the game of football is changing we're probably going to hire coaches that throw the ball at least some. Unless we go triple option and hire a service academy coach or something like that.
If we went triple option we just might as well give up football. Service academies have a legit reason to run it, but you think this season is bad, let's let every SEC team put 10 in the box and man cover our 2 WR (who will be even worse than what we have now) against a QB that makes Chris Relf's throwing look like a Heisman candidate.
Here's the original guidance from September:
CBS Sports
SEC teams will need to have at least 53 scholarship players available, including a quarterback, seven offensive linemen and four defensive linemen, according to guidelines announced by the league on Friday. If a team can't meet the minimum requirements, it can choose to play anyway. Otherwise, its game will be rescheduled or declared a no contest.
The SEC's minimum thresholds mirror those announced by the Big 12 but with one major difference. The Big 12's 53-player minimum includes walk-on players while the SEC guidelines only includes scholarship athletes. Teams are capped at 85 scholarship players.
Schools can also request to have a game rescheduled if they determine that "there are compelling reasons why it cannot begin a contest" that are unrelated to the player minimums. The final decision on a postponing or declaring a no-contest in that situation will lie with league commissioner Greg Sankey.
It would be unprecedented for a team to fall below 53 available scholarship players during a normal season. But with COVID-19 contract-tracing protocols in place, college football teams are dealing with waves of absences from practices and games. Missouri, for example, is already expecting to be down at least 12 players for its season-opener against Alabama on Sept. 26 due to COVID-19 protocols.
Several college football games, including five scheduled for Week 3, have been canceled or postponed as teams deal with COVID-19 outbreaks or depleted depth at certain positions due to contract-tracing requirements. Charlotte had to cancel its game against North Carolina scheduled for Saturday because of depleted depth on its offensive line despite the fact that only one member of its program tested positive during Monday's round of 200 tests.
NCAA and SEC guidelines say that players who have been in contact with individuals who test positive for 15 minutes without face coverings are deemed to have been in "high-risk" contact. Those individuals are required to quarantine for 14 days. Players who test positive must sit out for 10 days and be symptom-free for three days.
Sorry meant to reply to the OP.
I spoke with a former athletic academic staff member who's responsibility was to organize the football players' class schedule and keep up with their grades, etc. Hevessy told this staff member that in order for him to get his message across to these players that he HAD to start mother17ing them and stop being nice to them. He said that. So yeah, under Mullen and his staff, they weren't holding church.
Yep. And Joe's practices were the complete opposite. All encouragement, no ass kicking. A former player told me after watching pre-season practice in 2018 that Joe's style was so different and soft that it was going to be a big problem. I didn't believe him at the time, but boy was he right.
