Just a reminder to all you guys

Translation:

Idk shit. I don?t like Lebby because of Art Briles so I?m going to denigrate him.

Yeah, I mean there was a guy on the board last night that wanted Sumrall over Elko. So, yeah, the IQ on this board is not very high.

[civildawg]

I'm sorry you were so wrong about our lame duck staff. Hopefully, you stop sulking soon and get on board.

I'm a pessimist when it comes to all things MS state but C34 has ruined this board with this woe is me BS. Yeah it looks like we got turned down by chadwell and elko but Lebby has been on the list the whole time. Yes I was hoping it would be Elko but we need offense in the worst way

Watching OU's first two drives....I am not hating Lebby's O. And it looks like one that offensive skill guys and QB's would LOVE to play in. What am I missing??

They look great, but I do wonder how it translate when you're worse at literally every offensive position

It was successful at Ole Miss with similarly talented skill guys? Of course it will translate.

Not a thing. He?s a top notch recruiter and will bring in Jackson Arnold or Dillon Gabriel.

He will have one of the best staffs we?ve ever had here as well.

This is where I was about to go. And let me tell you, Ole Miss fans do NOT want us hiring Lebby...which should tell you plenty about the hire.

I've now convinced myself that I'm going to be upset if it ISN'T Lebby, haha

It's working at UT right now. It's worked at UCF and Ole Miss. It worked at Baylor. We are going to have to hit the portal hard. And QB is key just like any offense. We need a legit dual threat guy.

It's pretty understandable why someone might not "like Lebby because of Art Briles" though.

I'm willing to let that stay in the past, but there's some red flags there, and I won't blame another fan for being uncomfortable.

Anyone who automatically calls it a bad hide has no idea what they are talking about and are simply pissed at Art Briles.

I?ll repost the staff.
Lebby?s possible staff here

Offensive Staff:
OC/QB - Kendall Briles (maybe)
If not:
Co-OC/TE- Joe Jon Finley
Co-OC/QB - Jon David Baker
(One of the 2 above would not be on staff if Briles comes, Baker is current PGC/TE coach at Ole Miss)
OL - Randy Clements or Jake Thornton
WR - Bump or L?Damian Washington or Tucker (below)
RB - Anthony Tucker or Dino Babers

Defensive Staff:
DC/LB - DJ Durkin
DL - David Turner
Co-DC/OLB/STC - Coleman Hutzler
CB - T-Buck
S - J-Wash

I haven't paid any attention the the Briles situation. I only know their connection from this board. I just wanted a more qualified Head Coach from another school with more experience as head coach. I didn't want another coordinator. I hope he works out. I doubt he will. I'll cheer for State regardless.

If they were worried about image, why would you wait to the end of the season? We care about our image so much, but we hired him and kept him 2 years before moving on

Because some of the boosters don't care about it and were happy to win the RRS after being embarrassed last year. The compromise was supposed to be him taking down the picture and putting Art back at a distance. He didn't do that so the new compromise was to let him walk come the end of the season.

Boosters aren't a monolith that are all pulling in the same direction. Fire him in that moment and you piss off half your money base. Waiting until the end of the season is the way to keep the least angry. OU knows they'll hire another OC that can replicate this. The biggest fear they have is that Arnold follows Lebby.

Be pissed at Art. Lebby has been hired by 4 separate programs since then. They need to stop clutching their pearls.

That's a strong staff

Lol, I've warmed to it as well. Very high upside.

Man I really hope you're right.

There?s no more risk with Lebby than hiring a G5 coach.

[CoachT14]

Man I really hope you're right.

See my probable staff above.

If Lebby doesn't believe that Art did anything wrong, that's a big red flag. But if he does, but still associates with him because they're family, OK fine, I understand that.

But it needs to be made clear to Lebby that Briles standing or having any official connection to the program is an automatic fireable offense.

[CadaverDawg]

Briles is matching Lebby punch for punch right now in this game, with lesser talent. Maybe the other OC should be on our short list too
