Just b/c Leach has been a disaster this year doesn't mean Moorhead should still be the coach.

I think regardless there will be plenty of guys to fill the roster next season. Got to figure with this year not county for illegality there will not be room on a lot of teams so there will be a lot of guys in the transfer portal to pick up and or many highschool available to sign. This could end up being good.
You all need to remember that If all teams play 10 games at best only 7 teams in the SEC will have a regular winning season.
It's best for us to go ahead and finish out the season. Players like Walley, Heath, Marks, Johnson, Forbes, etc. need all the reps they can get against SEC competition. This is a time we need to start trying some new players out as well. Remember, even if you shut it down it's not like you can continue to practice. We would be done with team activities until after the new year. Also, remember that there's no guarantee we'll have a spring this time around. It's likely but I'm certain it won't be normal spring practices. And what does shutting it down really accomplish at this point? Are people going to magic forget we suck and have no offense? NO. They're probably more likely to say that we used COVID as an excuse to shut it down which will make us look even worse. That shows no confidence from the coaching staff.
So Moorehead let’s the patients run the Asylum, and everyone bitches. Then Leach comes in and says either get with program and do what is expected, or get the 17 out. Then when “certain” people can’t take the heat and get their feelings hurt cause Leach/Arnett isn’t babying them, people wanna bitch.
Some of y’all need to make up your mind about who is at fault.
Oh and we all know.... Cohen is a horrible AD, Leach can’t run an offense against a drop 8, Mullenz is the greatest coach all time, and recruits are jumping ship***
I miss anything?
Don't worry guys. This 2021 class will have 22 freshman who start and be better than everyone on the current roster. You know, "his players."
Anybody that thinks this staff cusses kids more than that Mullen staff is crazy. Getting called soft and a ***** is way down the cussing pole. I can assure you, Hev went waaaaay beyond that.
I actually applaud Leach on this one for several reasons.
1) Push a young person to be better than they think they are
2) Build a team with people that not only wants to succeed, but knows what it takes to do it (not only in sports but in life)
3) Teach young people that there are consequences in life - do "X" and the consequence is "Y" and you don't always get to chose what "Y" is - especially when "X" is negative
4) Provide more structure than they may have had growing up
Is this pushback a Millennial thing, do anything you want attitude as long as I am not physically hurting anyone else? I miss the days when kids looked and acted like they had a purpose in life. I miss:
Tucked in shirts
Button down shirts
Neat hair - crew cuts were the norm when I was a kid
No drinking until 18 (beer)
No DOPE at all of any kind - not only would it disqualify you from sports but it would get you expelled from school as well
Poor grades (less than a C average) disqualified you from extracurricular activities
etc.
The issue right now is 100 percent on Cohen for hiring Moorhead in the first place and the debacle after the Egg Bowl. He should?ve either fired him then when coaches like Drinkwitz were still available or kept him another year. If he hired Neal Brown when he had the chance after Mullen I would bet a lot of money we wouldn?t be in this situation. While I don?t think Leach will work here, he does get a pass this year due to COVID and the big mess he inherited. I kind of wish Moorhead would?ve stayed another year now knowing that Chadwell is out there and is available and has a really small buy out. Yes, I know he had some NCAA issues, but nothing compared to Freeze and people through around his name. He is the best coach out there for a school like Miss State. I have a feeling USC will hire Napier over him though and that will come back to bite them
Leach will succeed here and when he does, I will be screaming my head off at you guys for all your doom and gloom.
