    We have so many fans with such low expectations and seem to be fine with where we are and have been. How about we strive to be better than we ever have been? Damn

    I misread or misinterpreted that at first, but you are correct, he had lots of character.

    We've got people that are going to run it in the ground for their personal agendas if people don't start getting involved.
    Between the blue hairs that think it's a tradition to suck and the others that just want it to be their personal toy, folks better push the change. The good ole boys will kill it.

    I?m so confused why people would want to keep a coaching staff that is terrible just for access and information to the program. If we go 0-8 or 1-7 most years nobody is going to care anymore anyways

    Because they want to brag to their friends at Reunion, Annandale, and CCJ about how much they know and they get their rocks off when the coaches tell them how cool they are when they buy their drinks at Two Brothers.

    Exactly, this is why we can never pull together. To many chiefs.

    If we want to field a team we have to get from the portal. Is what it is. Our present talent on campus requires it. We have some but not near enough. And a all fr class won't help it

    I've been able to tell for about 2 weeks now that's exactly what's happening.

    And then come on message boards and make excuses for why we suck so bad.

    Either people on this board are too stupid to understand this or they dont want to acknowledge it because it undercuts their agenda.

    We are 26th in the nation right now in recruiting on star ranking average aka- quality of recruit

    That's rich coming from you, as you are only interested in MSU keeping your buddies in their positions.

    I already posted, we got 2 of the 3 dl that our staff wanted. Echoles is an OL and yes we wanted him for that. But he's also not a top 5 player at any position. There was a 4th we would have take. But no shot from the get go.

    Yea, everybody stupid but you.

    Most folks are aware we might have a dip next year. If you look at last 3 years players ranking in MS, talent level was a little down. It's better this year, especially Dlinemen. And we letting everybody else, and mainly OM, gobble it up. Kiffin has lived in the portal but he recruiting the top MS HS players hard this year. I, or others on here, may not be up to your sheer level brilliance, but I imagine Kiffin is.

    We got a bunch of 4* on our roster that I posted the other night on here. They still gotta be coached up.

    And when we take all these JUCO guys it will lower it. You are right on one thing though, transfers is going to be the key. We have far too many holes on both sides of the ball that recruiting cannot fix. We are going to have to be aggressive in the portal. Honestly outside of Zavion and maybe Whittemore I would not actively work to keep anyone on the current team. Or at least raise their NIL. If they want more money then they know where the door is. Heck maybe they will be lucky enough to get six figures to be a backup in Oxford.

    I hear ya but the class is not as strong or deep as it was thought to be a year ago and the ratings haven't changed to reflect that. I like Beavers though. Franklin, I've seen him in person a couple of times, you get high 4 star ability out him a couple times a game the problem is you also get mid 3 star out him. Rush is overrated, Echols is an OL that may be ok as a gap filler on DL. Wished we had split the recruits and picked up Beavers to go with Hibbler and Carter.

    And I've heard similar the last 3 years but now we got no talent, even tho we got a bunch of 4* players on our roster.

    And BTW, we'd be 6-2 with Leach. AU and Arky jumped 11 and 12 spots respectively in Scoring D rankings just by playing us. No, we wouldn't have beat LSU. They 75th in D scoring but #1 in O scoring. Can't stop their offense. Daniels too good.

    ETA: I love how we always get "the ones we want" but if a kid drops us for, say an LSU, we didn't want him anyway LOL.
