I Despise Larry Templeton More and More Everyday
I wanted and prayed for Leach to come here when Jackie left.
Templeton as usual, tries to be Bama and hires a Bama reject.
What could have been.
Not only did Mississippi State embarrass LSU on this night. Davis Wade Stadium wrecked Tiger Stadium in music choice, atmosphere and, most of all, volume.
When I'm 80 and deaf, it's not going to be all those Springsteen concerts or Queen at Municipal Auditorium in New Orleans on Halloween Night in 1978, it will be this game...............Glen Guilbeau--Sherveport Times

Agree, but he's 58 now. In a related note, anyone seriously believe if we hired Napier or Judge we'd be this happy today?

NOPE!!!
I think this is Leach's last stop and it's going to be his best. He is going to make us into a national brand. Our recruiting profile will go up significantly. And we will be playing Florida in the SECCG in the near future.

No. And I think we dodged a bullet by not hiring Judge. He's inexperienced and we don't need that now. Napier has been barely winning close games. Makes me wonder if he is focusing on leaving after this year?

What I can't understand is we were ready to hire Joe Judge (ZERO college experience), but per Rosebowl, Cohen decided not to offer the job to Joe Brady. I guess the only difference is that Judge was an MSU guy. Maybe Cohen figured we would be a stepping stone for Brady.

Judge was Croom 2. He was gonna come in here and whip everybody into shape the "right way". We dodged a big bullet if he was offered the job, and Cohen lucked out the Giants offered him if he did offer him the job.

I didn't know he was 58, I thought he was early 60's for some reason.
No, we would most likely be bitching right now.

He turned 59 in March but he was 58 when he took our job.

most here will never know the full extent of Templeton's damage to MSU! He is and always will be a Weasel. I've known him since he was a grad assistant living in Pecan Acres. Everything was about him and his advancement.

He stayed too long. We did get to final four and SEC football championship under him.

Because of Sherrill- a coach LT didn't want to hire.

Really? I wasn't even born yet, what was the story there and who did he want?
"We will have no problem in handling Kentucky."-Turfdawg67. MSU suffered a 27-17 defeat in 2022 with 225 yards in total offense.

No. Freaking. Way.

His sorry ass had the attitude that we could only hire assistant coaches as head coaches. I think our success rate on that is 25%. And the 25% was Greg Byrne's hiring of Mullen.

I don't remember who he wanted, but I've heard it before and was very unimpressed with the name. But basically JWS was a Dr. Z hire. Dr. Z told LT that we were hiring The Kang and LT better get on board with it. The rest is history. JWS showed us what we could potentially do and taught us to believe, gave us a sense of self-confidence. We regressed some under Croom, who was a 100% LT hire. But Greg Byrne and Mullen came along, building on the foundation laid by JWS. Thanks to The Kang, Byrne and Mullen, we had the confidence to revolt and demand swift change when Moorhead took us back down the crapper. And now we have Leach. God Bless Dr. Z, his foresight and JWS for giving us a good foundation for the future.
