    It's just a fact of life where I live. Beating Ole Miss is the only REAL thing that matters year in year out in FOOTBALL. I obviously and absolutely want more, but I would NEVER EVER EVER take a 9-3 guarantee if Ole Miss was one of the 3. I often wonder where people who espouse that point of view live.

    I?m not a big Leach guy, but I agree that for a school with our tradition, we can not afford to put Coaches out to the curb every 2 yrs. We have hitched our wagon to this horse and have to allow enough time for CML to either succeed or fail before starting over. Dropping Leach at this point would be crippling for our program.

    What the hell are you guys even talking about? Please come back to reality for just a split second.

    This whole mentality in college football is loony. The thought of coaching carousels every season is getting old. Zero patience in fan bases anymore, for a program that does not have a rich history of winning we sure do bash our head coach into oblivion even after we have a much improved team. I am actually proud of our guys for the way they play and carry themselves. Build a culture and the wins will come, but hell you guys won't even let it get to that point. It has been a covid year and a regular season and you are already having doubts about a very successful and proven head coach.

    Let's fire leach and hire who? Someone with 0 head coach experience? Some coordinator that has road the shirt tail of a successful hc hoping we find the next Kirby? We make that move and we are another 5 years from any type of success. This is the honest truth. We made a VERY good hire for a ball coach. If you can't see that, you are blinded by unreal expectations and one of the reasons the coaching carousel exists in the firstplace.

    Rant over.
    Let's hire someone whose absolutely proven upside isn't known to be mediocre and has a TERRIBLE history against instate arch rivals. Some guy in another thread and possibly another board tried to say the arch rival thing wasn't really a thing because Leach was 9-0 against Baylor when he was a Texas Tech. I asked my wife, a Baylor GRAD, if Texas Tech was a rival of theirs. She actually was quite incredulous. She gave a little chuckle and said, "Tech, no."

    Whenever LSU and UF strikeout on their hires this go round, maybe we as a fan base can take a step back. We seem to ignore what is going on throughout the country with recent coaching hires. Name one, outside of Kirby and Jimbo (if you can even count him as successful?) that has knocked it out of the park.

    Edit: Lane has done a great job, but let's see him without a Heisman caliber qb before we start making judgments.

    So you are cool with your life as a sports fan the next few weeks? I'm certainly not. Maybe you are an intensely private individual with few contacts outside your MSU circle. If that was me then I wouldn't be nearly as upset as I am. Possibly you have thick enough skin to be a referee on some level. I'm DO NOT. I am what I am. I still have nightmares about losing 3 of 4 both while I was at MSU AND at one of UMC's professional schools. Thats 6 out of 8. It's even worse back home in NE Mississippi.

    I wouldn't. To me in my life there are two football seasons, the other 11 games and the Egg Bowl. The Egg Bowl is THE season that actually matters. If we went 11-1 and won it all that would just extend my misery at the hands of smug entitled jackass Ole Miss fans that I live around. They are all nice people, except when it comes to FOOTBALL, and football ONLY.

    Your wife probably knows less about football than you do ... If that's possible. (I don't think it is really.)

    Main rival at TT was TAM and TT also hated Texas. Baylor was a nobody to them. Was 7-3 against Aggies and beat #1 Texas when they were competing for Nattys.

    YEP, That's what she said, lol. Now if you ask A&M or Texas if they consider TT an arch rival they would laugh at you . WSU isn't UW's main rival either, and that is well known. Now with what we have with UM, UM tries like hell to say we aren't theirs. EVERY SINGLE THING THEY DO says otherwise. Nobody outside of their fanbase gives that the time of day. Most of their fanbase doesn't try to hide it either.

    Agree. I like the way we were trending but losing to these bastards sucks the air out of the balloon.

    Leach is 'known to be mediocre'? Please. Get out of here.

    Also funny to me that to you, the solution for all of this isn't to figure out how to take sports ribbing less personally and enjoy yourself more...it's for the football coach to win a game so your life is better.

    1 small difference being Washington to wazzu talent gap is about the same as ours to bama, but I doubt you care.

    Oregon had higher rated recruiting classes than Washington every year of Leach's time in the PAC12. Leach was 4-5 v Oregon. Washington just had WSU/Leach's number. So far......OM/Kiffin does too.

    Oregon did not have Chris Petersen as coach, they had morons like Willie Taggert. Oregon did not have the power run game offense, or the NFL talent on the D line UW did, nor the secondary. You know not what you speak.

    The Pirate's history says he wins games he isn't supposed to and loses games he should win. So, if this holds true, we will see lots of seasons with 6-8 wins.

    I’m not sure what you are arguing. You think leach is not the right guy because UW had a major talent advantage over WSU for many years ?
