Dang Cooter! That's hilarious!
And I liked Leach a ton every since the first time I saw his offenses at work and listened to him speak. Was a great guy!

Also, its not paid off over 4 years- its 3. 3 years left on his contract after this one.
All this "Selmon wants to make aa name for himself" crap only happens if he gets permission to do so.
Yeah yeah... you made it sound like poor ol MSU can't afford the buy out.
The facts is he gets 50% of what's owed. They deduct anything he gets in a new job. We are not some broke ass university. We got the money!

Hell, the WMU 3rd string QB may transfer to USM before the game just so he can put up more heisman numbers and get over drafted.

Has already been proven that's a false narrative. He only passed to the RBs 29% of the time.

I tell ya, that damn Mike Leach. Offensive system sucks. Doesn't recruit. It's no wonder he won 60% of the games he coached in during his career at three non-blue blood schools. Wait? Something isn't right here. This terrible coach with a terrible system and bad recruiting won 60% of his games?

Boosters told the AD he had permission to fire Fox but he wasnt getting the money to fire Lemon and the rest of the staff. The same is happening now- people that know people think Arnett is going to get a Y2.
Couple that with the bluster that Boosters are controlling things and glad to have their "ground and pound" guys on staff that are in Arnett's ear bears the question:
What makes you think those guys are going to give up that control after 1 season? What makes you think they are going to pony up to buyout Arnett? The AD doesnt fire anybody without permission from Keenum and the Foundation who have to pay the buyout. We dont have buyout money in our athletic budget. That money comes from the Foundation and/or private funds thru Keenum
What makes you think the baseball team will be any better this coming season? Or that the football team will be any better next year under Arnett? The cigar boys may not want to cough up the money now but apathy will be at an all time low by the end of 2024. I know I don't give a rats a$$ about either sport right now.

I don?t care either way - both leachs offense (at least at state) and this team are boring as hell to watch

So you are excited then since your apathy is at an all time low

53% his last decade at his last 2 stops. Great program runner, very smart mind, below avg recruiter, offense innovation but behind the times.

A lot of people liked Leach. He was an intelligent and quirky guy. He was just past his prime as Coach. I mean he wasn't planning coach many more seasons. It's a shame how things happened but anyone looking at our roster seeing the things going on in MS with top recruits know how bad recruiting went off the rails.
Lotta people like Arnett too. But things are a bit if a mess. It's about business now. This ain't college football 1998 anymore. It's about money and entertainment more than it is about developing kids for three years. Kids are free agents now. Times change and people either keep up or they fade away.

At least in this offense our TB?s are no longer the leading pass catcher

Are you a believer in this staff specifically or just this offense?
