    But this not a thread discussing "should" we care about him leaving or not. This is an informative thread / not really speculative.

    I'll post more when I hear more.
    I think you got a little recognition this morning on Bo's show.

    Update:

    Hocutt is off the list. OU isn't going to get in a pissing match with Cody over him.

    The Cast "transition" plan is still being ironed out and will look different based on who the hire is. How involved he is and what not.

    Names in the mix:

    1. Selmon
    2. Wren Baker - WVU
    3. Jeremiah Dickey - Boise
    4. Terri Mojahir - UCF

    "Youth" is the coded term being thrown around as the hangup for some on hiring him. Given the age demographic of those throwing around this coded term it's not as... black and white... as Selmon just being youthful. - This is purely my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt.

    Best guess - if Cast stays on for multiple years then it's Selmon's job.

    That's interesting since "black and white" is the big issue that a lot of our Zac haters have issue with as well.

    I've literally never heard or read one person say that.

    I think 99% of our fans approve of him. Including the ones like me who were hesitant about him. Other than spending 7 figures on a makeover to his office, I have really come to appreciate what he's done here.

    Also, JC was encouraged by OK to go ahead and step down, staying on in an advisory role through 2028. He's aged and the times have passed him by.

    If he's race baiting.... then yeah. I agree with you. I'm in the group that questioned his ability 100% for a while, but race has never come up in any of the conversations I've had with Selmon supporters or non supporters.

    Race pimps gonna race pimp. Gotta keep it alive!!!

    How does one do this? Did he buy a bunch of artwork? How does the total reach that dollar amount on a remodeled office?

    Said it was a lot more than just his office in the Bryant Building in an extensive thread on the pack.

    Hard disagree here. Our issue was that we went inexperienced in a time where we needed experience. And then did the same in football. Then some people also want to bitch about which logo we use, but they always exist.

    There's minimal to none of this prevalent in the State circles that I've travelled. Much less than you would think if you're an outsider looking at "Mississippi State". That's why any of them I bring down are shocked at how welcoming the campus is. It feels like home for everyone.

    OU on the other hand.... (and to an even further extent, Texsa and OM)


    I mean let's just look at which school's have had a non-white head coach in the SEC.

    We were also one of the first SEC football teams to integrate and we all know about Croom.
