Head coach rumor.....

[Activated Alpha]

It really doesnt. Remember what I said over the next 10 years

Serious question. Do you have that same mindset with baseball or is it just football?

If OM can hire a coach like Kiffin and have that type of success so can we. Now we are going to have to have our donors stop giving so much of a shit about baseball and funnel that NIL money to football, but it does matter if our big money boosters decide it matters. There will have to be a change in booster mentality along with a really good hire for it to matter though.

You've taken so many L's recently I'm encouraged by this prediction.

I really havent- and u will you understand soon enough

No- baseball is less costly for us and we can compete here on a national level. Football is lost and a waste now

Even Mississippi will struggle moving forward with realignment with the money they are willing to spend

I’m sure they will struggle some, but they will also be in the playoff conversation in other years, and that means having a good coach matters a whole lot.

Just don?t try to sell me on some bitter , retread that has been fired before and all the spark been whipped out of them.

Some of it is the cycle in the SEC. Auburn has had a lot of coaching issues the past few years. LSU has changed coaches but Kelly has them going. Arkansas has been relatively unstable. Texas A&M just now decided to fire Jimbo and was awful against Ole Miss. We've been unstable as well.

Add in the fact that they have five wins programmed in with Vanderbilt being one of their permanent opponents and their success isn't that surprising. There's a reason why Kiffin has been winning 9-10 games but has very few top 25 wins. Once those schools get back on their feet plus Ole Miss losing Vandy every year and then things will cycle back.

[Todd4State]

Bellard had 2 winning seasons in 7 years w Tyler's players. Playing 6 sec games out of 11.

Even if you consider him a bust we're still at a higher rate hiring a guy with head coaching experience. With the bust being a guy who won 9 games and led us to our biggest win in school history in a completely different era of college football.

Per Bo Bounds, Barry Odom is the modern day Jackie Sherrill. He thinks Barry is in our top two or three along with Malzahn. Good grief.

But not everybody cares about JV sports like baseball.

Should tell how good his sources are...Malzhan removed his name days ago.

Bo is a douche canoe. He regurgitates whatever Rosie says.

Sure, lets defund the only athletic program to consistently contend for National Titles across multiple decades, and the only program to win one (sorry Frisbee Golf, Bass Fishing, and Electric cars y'all don't count) so we can go from 35th best football program to 30th. Because that is how little of an impact it would have.

We need to need to invest more in football but not at the expense of other programs.

Precisely. To do otherwise is ignorant. Our football program is what it is.

He and Rosie talked up Odom a good bit this morning and Rosie also pretty much crapped on any possibility of Chadwell.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Not necessarily with Malzahn. I do think Odom would be a better hire than some people are thinking. Also, some have gotten so hyper focused on Chadwell that any other candidate is a failure

Marcello tweeting that he's being told Chadwell is out of the running for our job.

Not sure how good his info anymore but that's just something out there.

Didn't say one thing about defunding baseball. But I also don't believe that it should be a huge money sink either. Football is the money maker and it is the only money maker. Therefore it deserves to command most of the attention. Because lets be honest. Other than a sign on the OF fence and some flags around the stadium, what did the baseball natty do to move the needle of the Mississippi State University athletic department?
