Instant Poll: If it were your call, would you keep Lebby or fire him?

[TheLostDawg]

That was the start of this mess we are in.

Yet no one has faced consequences for it and it's cost us a significant amount of money

[memsu06]

Firing Lebby would be the dumbest thing to do right now.

There isn't another coach out there we could land right now that would be better.

Support upgrades to coaching staff and NIL to get more portal players. Hire a guy to evaluate under rated talent.

[Bothrops]

Fire him. Next year the schedule is probably worse and we are no better right now than we were when Lebby arrived. We were for a moment but have regressed since.

Believe it or not it?s way deeper than that.

[Turfdawg67]

Nice thread... same as your last six. Wouldn't read again.

[SpaceBully]

Keep

[Dawgology]

He?s the sole reason we aren?t bowling this year. FIRE

KEEP

E. Drayton said it all. I'm not smart enough to copy another post. But he summed it up 100%..

[Doggie_Style]

We hired a first time AD, HC and DC. We literally signed up for the results we are seeing. Our admin. basically knew this would happen and they will throw another season onto the flaming alter of stupidity before they make a change.

If your goal is to end up with a service academy head coach, fire Lebby. You fire Lebby, and no credible coach will even answer the call from us. Particularly with the other jobs that are open.

[No BS Dawg]

Need a real defensive coordinator first and foremost. Hutzler is not it and defense could not top a team of grandmas on walkers the last 4 games of the season. Lebby gets another year if he does that. An OC would be nice too.

All 3 "service academy head coaches" would be an improvement over Lebby. Was that supposed to be an insult?

LOL. Yeah. The triple option is what we need to be running. No need to ever throw the ball.

Brian Newberry came up as a DC and is unlikely to be committed to the "triple option." Troy Calhoun has mixed passing when he has a QB who can do it.

Most importantly, all 3 of them are good enough coaches to adapt to the SEC rather than just forcing in whatever their personal favorite system is. I'm not saying that any of them is my #1 choice, but all 3 would likely be better than 1-15 in their first 2 years as a head coach, with 0 blowouts to MAC teams and 0 losses that were entirely due to coaching fuсkups.

Yeah. As long as we run the ball all the time and abide by a bunch of conventional theory tropes instead of being aggressive and analytically sound.

As the undisputed king of the Leach fanboys, I think we all know that I am not a "run the ball all the time" kind of guy, nor some kind of anti-analytics luddite.

I just don't think the stereotypes that you're describing apply to Newberry, Calhoun, or Monken. All 3 of them are excellent at winning with what they have and have adapted in their own ways.

[Maroon Glasses]

I guess this is where I stand alone.

For me, I don't care what offense we run as long as we win. I dont care what defense we run as long as we win. I don't care where the coach comes from as long as he is a successful coach. I get the service academies aren't flashy but they are winning with $0 of NIL money. Newberry has done a great job, imo.

I'm not calling for him to be our coach. I wouldn't throw a fit about it if he was tho. He has done more with less and I think that's the kind of coach we need if they decide to fire Lebby.

I am 100% against a philosophy of defense first, run the ball, win TOP and all those other tropes. I?m not willing to be the SEC team that wants to see if a service academy coach will change his philosophy.
