    See below but originally days ago I was told it was Fritz and Lebby with Lebby as a fall back. Fritz fell off pretty quick but Lebby was always the fall back.

    No way in hell Sumrall was the guy we wanted. Not a chance. I know why Bucky would have liked it because Will could have probably stayed & the offense continue being boring as hell under him. Lebby being the guy is probably why we're getting reports this morning that Will is hitting the portal.

    I'm gonna go out on a limb & say Lebby agreed weeks ago & everything else has been a formality.

    They're being ridiculous. It seems personal with Bucky but we can't help Will can only run a pure air raid, which doesn't really exist anywhere anymore without Coach Leach... Or maybe a pro style mostly running offense which we can't recruit well enough to run & is boring as hell.

    Don't know other than they like Sumrall better. Fritz would consider Houston as well, his daughter and grand kids live there.

    Believe what you want, doesn't mean anything to me. But we absolutely did not have anything agreed upon with Lebby weeks ago. Didn't happen at all.

    Why would I have a personal problem with Lebby? The ceiling is extremely high but the floor could be Arnett again

    The floor is not Arnett. We will score at least some points & always a have a tough hard nosed quarterback not afraid to get hit. We will average more than 10-12 points per game against SEC teams. That I can guarantee.

    Fritz supposedly wants the Houston job that is likely to open. His daughter lives there.

    The floor is way higher than Arnett. His staff will dwarf this one in coaching abilities.

    It is pretty clear to me that Selmon always knew he could fall back and land Lebby. It is a home run move for Lebby. He goes from coordinator to SEC head coach and probably a 20 million guarantee. No brainer for him.

    Looking back at the whole situation, I believe Lebby has been the guy Selmon wanted all along. I believe everything else was a smoke screen & the "rumors" we were getting were from sources of coaches reaching out to State. Of course there were other interviews... That's how it works.

    If it's not Lebby then I'll eat crow, but that's what I believe. It was all just to perfect of a storm & the Selmon/Oklahoma/Lebby/already knows the state of Mississippi connection. Just too perfect to pass up.

    You don't smoke screen a coordinator hire. We had face to face with multiple coaches before Lebby, we reached out to them. Odom was the one that pushed hard to get into the door with us. Now did Selmon believe that Lebby may end up being the best guy or a good option in the end? Sure that's possible. But we didn't smoke screen with these other coaches to hire Lebby, someone that from the beginning was a known target.
