I found our guy. Hafferly at Boston College

[CaptainObvious]

Here is a recent quote from him.

? I don?t care about the yards. I just want to win.
If we have to run it 40 times to win, we will. If we have to throw it 40 times to win, we will. ?

[OLJWales]

I ain't happy right now either but I think it would be best if we give him a year 3. If he ain't happy and thinks he made a mistake coming here then I'd be okay with him saving us some coin to bolt.

Agree with that.

Give leach 4 years and see what happens. We can’t just keep firing people

[Maverick91]

If we start hearing that the attitude of the team is dying, and the effort on the field is slacking then we can start to look at other options. But, our youth has lead us to a 2-2 start, we should be 4-0. But, heck we would still be ole missing ourselves over wanting to fire Leach if we were 4-0, some people just cannot be happy.

[MaroonFlounder]

Leach would LITERALLY have a 4-0 record right now if we had a special teams coach that actually taught the rules of the game to the guys we have on special teams.

He and Matt Brock are "allowing it to happen", to use his words.

He won't stand for it much longer, and we will not shoot ourselves in the foot much longer.

Leach aint gettin' fired in year 2. Yall are F'd in the head.

No respectable coach is coming if we fire a nationally known coach after two years.

$5 million says "IFFY" to what you say. I don't believe the Pirate will be fired after year two unless he comes unglued with a statement like "Go Kick Some Rocks".

Not sure we can get a polished HC from a D1 program unless we double there pay. Trust me from an ex Coach, money talks especially from a young Coach.

We can get a good coach for the money. We got OC coach of year for 1.8M, 5M will get a lot of interest. We don't need Saban, we need a Pittman - the right guy for MSU. Joe nor Leach fit MSU at all. We have lost what has made MSU great - maroon blooded folks. We just getting fly bys now wanting a pay day.

[OLJWales]

Yep.

[CaptainObvious]

I know we aren?t firing Leach unless he goes 4-8 or worse with some bad beat downs and loses the team.

Just pointing out the Hafley thinks like everyone here does. He is 42. He makes $3 million per year. And he has coached at Ohio State and is getting experience at BC as a head coach in a Power 5 conference. 10-5 in his first two seasons in Chestnut Hill.

Of course, Cohen would probably hire a Special Teams Coach in his 1st year to replace Leach.
Leach needs a come to Jesus meeting with the guys paying his salary. Get his shit together or they will call in Jackie and his Steer making friends to get his attention.

Do people on here really believe that Cohen hires the football coach (after consulting with Keenum)? If so, they are delusional. The folks who pony up the $$$ to pay the coach (the amount in excess of what the state of Mississippi allows) make the final decision. The so called "cigar boys" play a big role in the final hire. Blame Cohen all you want, but it just shows how little you really know.

Can this be stickied somewhere? Would be a big time saver fo sho.

Y?all think the penny pinching athletic dept would pay leachs buyout and pay a premium for a coach? Believe it when I see ot

Yes, it comes from “Donations”.

But winning the Natty in baseball has made a lot of the boosters say to hell with football and focus whatever we need on baseball.

Look, we will never win anything of value in football. The SEC, NCAA, and Ole Miss will make sure of that. Leach has a history or doing more with less. We just have to give him time. If we are winning with a system that has a bunch of 3 start recruits, there is nothing anyone can say. We just have to give it time to implement.

We’ll know recruiting rankings are shit. That’s why when we get a commit he drops to a 3 star and when he decommits and commits to Bama, he jumps to a 4 star. They will take it from us everytime unless it’s a no doubter like Jeffrey Simmons.

17 this. I refuse to believe we have "given up on football" cuz of our Ole Miss Ain't Here Again Natty.

This guy appears to be good, but you take him and I'll take Dave Clausen at Wake Forrest.

Half this board would be demanding his head in Year 2, and would be tired of him by Year 5. And most of the board would be ready to move on after Year 7.
