    OXFORD, Miss. (WTVA) - Ole Miss campus police ask students to behave at future baseball games following a recent incident.
    The university said students were reportedly throwing rocks at Georgia baseball players during last weekend's series.

    I'll just never understand this mindset.

    I'm the opposite - I'm willing to give Lebby a chance, but the fact that a large chunk of our fanbase doesn't want him makes me want him a lot less. We all need to be united ad a fanbase and have a guy we can all rally around.

    where do you get that? B/c of 10 message board posters. Never get confused by the vocal minority.

    Is that a quote from the pepper report? Or an article?

    ETA: I guess it was the ncaa investigation I was thinking about. This article has a tweet that says he cleared of wrongdoing.

    This message board is a good community, but it is not representative of our entire fanbase. The fact that a significant chunk of our fans are going to have a serious problem with Lebby makes me think we ought to find someone else.

    If he's the guy, I'll support him until he gives me a reason not to, but some of our fans won't be as gracious as I am.

    Art is his father in law. What do you expect him to do?

    I've answered this question directly and repeatedly. I expect him not to disobey his employers and have him on the sideline or associating with the university in any other way. What else can I tell you?

    It's pretty simple.... I'm 63 and starting to run out of years

    I just really don't think it is a significant chunk. In fact, until you tell them, I doubt the vast majority of our fan base even know who he is our who his FIL is.

    And, if there is one thing about Keenum that we know - it's that he isn't going to risk a huge black eye just to win. I mean, jeebus, we had Bracky Brett on Barney Fife patrol turning ourselves into the NCAA multiple times.

By all accounts, there is no coach at Baylor from 2012-2015 that is "clear". That would mean proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that person did everything they could right. That's not feasible and you would be right in saying that's an unfair standard to hold someone to.

    Our legal system instead looks to prove someone guilty (rather than innocent) beyond a shadow of a doubt. This means that if it's black (guilty) then it's black. If it's white then it's white. If it's gray then it's white. Every coach is firmly in the gray area at best. Art's had a couple of lawsuits where he's been dark grey but since it's not black it's white. Baylor has settled several other cases.

    It goes further then for the public opinion to make their decision. Do you want to sit on morals and trust in black and white? That's your right. And Lebby has not ever been proven guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt.

    But double digit women have come forward and reported the rape-enablement and encouragement culture at Baylor. Meanwhile Jeff consistently PUBLICLY defends Art. It's a pretty easy conclusion to draw where Lebby stands morally in the wake of this. He dismisses the seriousness of what happened. He avidly defends his father in law for having done nothing wrong when Baylor has paid several women for their silence.

    You can call my logic taking a leap. But I'm not a court of law. I'm a person with common sense. I won't have my
    daughter go near Ole Miss, OU, UCF, SeLa, Baylor, or any other school that let a known wolf into their house who was part of that culture. No one should have to experience the profound pain that occurs when being raped. It's not a joke. It's not something to dismiss.

    Jeff Lebby has consistently dismissed and downplayed the significance of what happened. I have 0 faith in his ability to lead young men to become good men. Football is important. Some things are more important.

    Do you have the same zeal for all of God's commandments or just the one you have experienced negatively in your life? If you stand up for one moral law then shouldn't you also stand up for the others as well? They have similar consequences and someone will experience pain.

    Well NCAA had to clear all of it because they have no directive of violations for that type of situation. That's outside of their purview

    Jeff Lebby is one of the best offensive play callers in college football. If he?s the guy, and I hope he is, it?s an excellent hire.

    Lebby will be the second best play caller in the SEC if hired.

    You can make an argument that he's #1 as a play caller...

    I'm not speaking out of my ass, I'm more well informed of the inner workings of OU than I am at State. This has long been known to be Lebby's last day. My only hope is that Lebby gets a different offer he accepts or Selmon is doing him a solid.
    Then go support Ou. You are an idiot

    This is the part about him I think is overrated.

    There are better hires and much better options. But it is over now
