If someone gave you the choice tomorrow...

And who?s currently class is ranked 39th and number 12 out of 14 SEC teams in 2023 recruiting. Certainly there are a half dozen coaches looking for a P 5 job who can do that without leaving their living room. Leach is playing with G5 talent right now. Might as well bring in a G5 Coach and see what he can do with it. Can?t be worse than getting shitstomped by the worst LSU team since Curly Hallman.

We are going to lose to LSU from now on, might as well forget them and be a sacrificial lamb like with Bama. LSU is going to improve. Anyone without a destination job would struggle recruiting here. Perhaps a portal savvy guy could help, but depth wise, nah. It isn't 2014 anymore or even 2019 anymore. We can't get what we used to get.

Honestly we have underserved football recruiting so much under several coaches I'm not sure what our real ceiling is. But it's probably a little bit higher. If we can get our NIL in gear we might be able to keep most of the top players in state- but to be honest the key there IMO is to massively overpay to keep them in Mississippi. Not sure how realitic that really is either to be honest with you.

We need to start planting seeds for recruiting in the form of football trainers and things like that- which is what baseball does and also what Ole Miss has with Espy and Shay. Things like that make a big difference. Especially with kids that are on the fence and didn't grow up in MSU households.

Also, let's not forget that things are about to massively change in college football. Especially in the SEC. Scheduling is going to change soon and we're not likely to be playing Alabama every year anymore- or LSU either. I'm sure we'll still play some elite teams- it is the SEC. But the time for us to strike when the iron is hot is going to increase for us very soon. And could lead to some really special seasons for us.

We will just trade losses to LSU and AL for losses to TX and OU. I know....TX is not great and we may not get those 2 every year but we will always have a mix of teams on the schedule better than us. We will always be a 6 to 8 win school. Tilted more to the 6 win side.

We'll usually be a 6-8 win school when we have a good coach like Mullen or Leach (or a bad coach like Moorhead when he has players a good coach left him), but there are plenty of coaches out there who can't get us to that level.

Mullen is absolutely my first call if we need a new coach, but many of the same people who spent the Mullen Era wishing he was gone are the ones who wanting him back now, and they're also the same people who will want Leach back during our next coach's tenure.

We'll beat Oklahoma as often as we currently beat Texas A&M and we'll beat Texas as often as we currently beat Kentucky. Both of those programs have a history of dropping games against less talented teams, and that's without SEC schedules for them.
