    1) Firstly, I don't think Leach is going anywhere.

    2) As far as the hypothetical, I realistically see us hiring Gus with him 100% okay keeping Arnett on defense.

    Confused how people think Leach's ceiling or "cap" is 8 wins when he's hit 11 everywhere else he's been with historically average to bad teams. I think the only thing placing a cap on our potential is our QB room atm.

    Thats what Im hoping for. Again I would love to be proven wrong. The good thing is I?m wrong about 99% of the time.

    We had arguably the toughest schedule in the country. Most projected 7-8 win season would mean we are a top 15 team.

    We are right where we were suppose to be. I don't think this is the ceiling by any means. Any other coach and there is no way we demolish Ark and A&M. If we win Thursday we have a shot at 9 wins this year.

    Our fan base as a whole is miserable. Anyone thinking Leach stepping down is a move in the right direction is outside their mind. There are more than 2 jobs open right now that are more desirable.

    Ole Miss being good for the 2nd straight year (even though they likely finish unranked if we win Thursday) has completed deranged a lot of our fans.

    Will is just a placeholder. He's hit his ceiling in this offense. I think Parson is the QB that will really open the offense up.

    Including the boosters I know.

    Our boosters, Administration, and half of our fanbase is ok with 7 wins per year

    What they not ok with is being worse than ole miss and ole miss getting all the attention and love and beating us. Thats where they draw the line.

    After we win Thursday and finish ranked while Ole Miss finishes unranked, we'll have had the better season, but Ole Miss will have spent the whole year ranked getting a lot of attention and praise while we didn't.

    Yet another reason to abolish all preseason and midseason rankings and just do them at the end of the year.

    Will is a placeholder until he runs out of eligibility. Parson is 3 years down the road, minimum.

    I would agree with you if we hired the TTech Leach. I would watch every one of his games back then. What we have now is your sleepy uncle sitting on the couch after Thanksgiving dinner.
    Everyone wants to be a beast...until its time to do what beasts do.

    I’m all in for Chadwell if Leach retires. He has won every where and Coastal Carolina is the best G5 team in the country this year. He would be a realistic hire for us and reminds me of the Chris Jans of football. I think he would be a perfect fit here

    Literally your entire post is based around assumptions that you're trying to push as concrete facts. I'm impressed.
    "We will have no problem in handling Kentucky."-Turfdawg67. MSU suffered a 27-17 defeat in 2022 with 225 yards in total offense.

    I mean, I think we all know that it's not 100% certain that we beat Ole Miss, I'm just wanting us to and projecting confidence. I wish the rest of our fans would.

    This is what I see also.

    You can think this all you want but it would take an extra special player at QB to overcome Leachs lack of recruiting and inability to adapt his ancient offense.

    This is spot on. It's amazing how one game can change the entire season. A win for us Thursday flips the entire script on both teams for the year.

    Deion would blow up recruiting here. The outside attention alone would justify the hire. It's not like he will call plays or scheme. And this game is about Jimmys and Joes and we need a LOT of help in this area.we would have a top 10 class with prime here.

    No it doesn't. Not to people that really pay attention. It means we are better than them and that's it. We would still have 2 losses that we shouldn't have that are keeping us from a NY6 in a cyclical year.

    I'm one of those who really pays attention. It would mean we have been the better team all season. It would put us at 8-4 which is better than 90% projected. All while playing one of the toughest schedules in the country. The Kentucky loss still sucks, but it's the only bad loss. LSU is the SEC West champion. Even though we should have won that game, it can't be counted as a bad loss to them in tiger stadium on a Saturday night.
    So, a win Thursday night absolutely changes everything.
