So where do we go from here? Going 5-7 and beating 2 teams we shouldn't to me isn't much different then going 6-6 and just winning the games we should. A 6-6 bowl doesn't mean shit and our last 10 years proves that by exactly where we are right now. I don't really see a way that we can compete with any consistency with the way CFB is currently set up.

We can’t get rid of Leach until the end of next year at the earliest. Probably 4 years. Got to ride this one out

I could be wrong, but I don't think Cohen gave Leach an extension after last season. If we don't extend Leach after going 5-7 this year, that would just leave 2 years on his contract. We can fire him after 2022 season. We won't be playing Vandy next year and we won't have Cross at LT. It's going to be ugly.

Are we sure about this? I mean, has he shown NFL talent? I know he has potential, but I guess I haven't seen enough.

I hope you are wrong, otherwise we will be breaking in at least 3 new OL and two of those will be OTs.

Cross is going to be a first round pick in the upcoming draft.

Heck yeah he's gone. He's really good.

And what will our roster look like for the next guy, lol? Yikes.

[Dawgfan77]

But I thought our AD hired an offensive genius to bring us to the 21st century....
Meanwhile our rival....

Hopefully Cohen is gone by then but based on what Ive heard that is not likely. Too many decision maker donors love them some Cohen. He knows how to buddy-buddy to the right people.

Yeah I dont get all the people that think Cohen's job is tied to Leach. Cohen will retire at State

Well that's depressing.

We are stuck in this one sink or swim.

Under our best coaches we have been mediocre at best, therefore, what do you suggest Mississippi State do?

Well that’s just flat out wrong. Jackie got us to Atlanta and Mullen had teams in 2010, 2012, 2014, 2017, and would have had in 2018 teams that were pretty damn good football teams. Mullen’s last few teams:

2014- 10-3
2015- 9-4
2016- 6-7
2017- 9-4
And has us primed for 10 or more wins in 2018

We need a younger talent developer that likes to recruit. They have to have a strong personality. You can win at State consistently. Mullen did it. Find a good coordinator and let’s go. Kentucky did it as well. We can find another Mullen

You told me you wanted mullen gone. That we couldn't fire him but you hoped he would just leave on his own. I told you that was crazy.

Now you say we can find another mullen.

Mullen didn't want to be at State anymore. Why is this so hard to understand.

Beats me

When will all this "we hate Mullen" stop, he was good overall for Msu, changing jobs is nothing new. Biggest issue with Mullen is his ego.
