When it comes to Lebby....

[CoachT14]

The narrative of a Defensive HC means boring, losing and Offensive HC means fun, winning......isn't 100% accurate. Stoops at UK is one example. Odom did well at MO and is doing well now at UNLV. I am sure there are 100 other examples either way. However, I would take what Stoops has built at UK today and enjoy every minute.

However, whatever coach we have coming in.....he will need players immediately. Which is why I wanted it to be Odom. I want a guy who will be here to build a program. (Odom isn't going back to MO) I don't want a guy to come in here with a few transfers and bolt as soon as another blue blood has an opening. I don't believe that is how you build a program or improve fan morale.

Fact: Odom went 19-19 with an NFL QB in an SEC East (10-14 in the SEC) that had a down Florida, Georgia, and Tennessee. And you expect him to come here and be successful? Some of y?all are extremely captured by the flash in the pan guys.

Maybe just maybe Barry Odom belongs at that level.

Want some more facts?
Barry Odom, a defensive head coach, has had more below average to awful defenses in his last 10 years than he?s had average or higher.

So in the last 5 years he?s being fired at an SEC school (his Alma mater mind you) and was awful at Arkansas as DC. It wasn?t until this year that he did anything actually good.

What?s more likely? That he figured things out finally or that he is winning in a league with bad talent and bad coaches and he just happens to be the best of the midgets?

His track record suggests he won?t be good at this level. He?s failed at it for 10 straight years basically. You can ignore his track record if you want. I won?t.

While it's horrible, and I am by no means condoning it - this was also right at the beginning on Me Too - and it was SOP at many of the top athletic programs in the country. Not to mention, corporations, churches, the Olympics, the entertainment industry, and just about any organization looking to kill risk to the status quo. As a society, it was our dirty secret that women had no recourse against power in these situations. Too many were complicit, but that also doesn't make everyone evil. The treatment of and processes around these incidents has changed, and changed drastically in a short period of time for the better.

Like others have said, 4 major universities have vetted this and have been comfortable with the hire, so we aren't breaking ground here.

You can?t talk to Tater logically about it. He?s made outright lies up about Lebby using hyperbole to try and get his point across.

[Pancho]

be careful or this will turn political, and we all know how touchy that will be. ew wee******

You cannot say that because everyone was doing it, that means they are not all bad. If you are complicit in that, you are bad. It was bad enough that once it came to light, everyone unanimously agreed it was terrible and had to be changed.

If you're able to put the Briles connection stuff in the past, it's pretty simple....

Elko, Odom = Safe choices with higher floors and lower ceilings

Lebby = Less safe choice, lower floor and higher ceiling

If we want consistency, maybe a coach that will be here 7-10 years....go with a safer choice, one of the defensive minded guys. If we are ok with losing a guy in 3-4 years to a blue blood but possibly making a run at the SEC in the process, gotta go with an offensive minded guy that can draw in top notch QB and playmakers.
We have a better chance at landing local defensive studs with an offensive minded HC, than reeling in top QB and WR talent with a defensive HC.

Not saying Lebby will succeed...but I like gambling on a young OC more than an older DC or defensive minded coach.
Just my opinion

That's exactly the way I see it too. I'd prefer to take the risk.

[BlackSailsDawg]

The facts. Nothing else matters.

- Name the person found guilty of anything? Briles was cleared.

- She made an accusation that her boyfriend beat her in her face and her stomach. Her proof was bruises on her arms via photos that could have been due to her gymnastics training. But where are the photos of her face and ribs/stomach? There are none.

- Why did she go back to him afterwards? You see, a counselor talked about that on the stand during court.

- If she was so beaten (like she claimed), why did she go to the beach within a week? That came out in the case too. She had told her coach that she was not able to practice due to that incidence and then bolts for the beach with friends.

I'm just letting you know two things. There's double digit women who made claims, several of them other student athletes. And the post you made is somehow your dumbest yet.

There was one case where the victim's story about coaches wasn't consistent across 8 years of testimony and so Briles was dismissed from the lawsuit but Baylor as an institution was still found culpable. There are several cases that we know settlements were made instead. Not every woman wants their name to be subject to a public trial. Especially for the most demoralizing and dehumanizing moment in their lives. This willfully sick and twisted post you made is disgusting. I look forward to never seeing another post of yours again.

Every single time someone says this, people have to be reminded that it wasn't until Lebby got to his 4th job that he put Briles onto the sideline. That's something that didn't come up in any of his 4 vettings, but will come up in his 5th. It's a bit of a red flag that maybe Lebby doesn't think that Briles really did anything all that bad.

Again, I'm willing to give Lebby a chance as long as it's crystal clear (as in fireable offense) that he doesn't pull that shit again. But the "he passed vetting 4 times so he automatically should a 5th time" argument just doesn't work when there's new information since the 4th vetting.

When Odom and Missouri beat Florida, Florida was ranked #11. Regardless, what he did at Missouri is above their historical averages. Also as DC, he improved Memphis and Missouri defense tremendously. His Arkansas defense was up one year and down his last. However the guy has served in about every role there is on college staff since he was a GA. Lebby has not. Lebby has been an P5 OC one year. His two years at OM, Lane was calling the plays.

It's a pointless argument. Odom isn't being considered. It seems it is down to Sumrall and Lebby.

[Turfdawg67]

We arent going to be in the Top 12. If it doesnt happen in the next 5 years- will never happen. NIL and Realignment has killed us for eternity

You mean ALL those top 12 years in the past are over?!?

[BuckyIsAB****]

If art briles is coming with him it makes it better IMO. Or Kendall

"Just talked to Sa78- he said Waco pd was there - said they were going to keep it quiet - Wasn't a set up deal - I'll
get shill to ck on sibley." - Art Briles to Ian McCaw

You must be dumb if you don't know how much of king football is in Texsa and blatantly trust cops to do the right thing here.

What does this have to do with Lebby?

Tater you seriously need help my man. To be this up in arms about something that has nothing to do with and outright lying about it while moaning on a freaking message board. Crazy behavior.

The only thing that really concerns me about all this is that it makes Lebby seem really childish. That's not a trait we need in this rebuild time. Just pointing that out. I'll support the team regardless who the coach is. I survived Croom and Arnett, barely.

He was not above their historical average. Pinkel played in the SEC Championship game in back to back years 2 years before Odom was hired. Come on at least be honest.

[CoachT14]

What does this have to do with Lebby?

Not a thing. Tater is having a meltdown crisis over Lebby because his father in law is Briles not because his name is Jeff Lebby. He?s running around making up shit.

[Coach34]

Yeah, prices went up. We coulda had cam for 180k. Didn't kj Jefferson get like a million last year?

This. Prices have skyrocketed. Mississippi spent 400K for a back-up QB. We got Wright for $10 and some M&M's

That?s what I feared. Was much better when things were under the table.

Ehhh it has everything to do with a moral line that you don't want to cross. If at the end of the day we end up hiring Lebby I do trust our old school Bible Belt moral high ground hiring process to say that we did our vetting and trust Lebby had NOTHING to do with anything that went on at Baylor. Their first job is to protect and not willfully put the students in danger, I'm going to have to trust that is a top priority.

Oh hell no! Name the case where Briles or Lebby was found negligent. Name it or shut the hell up! The one proven case of rape, Briles dismissed him in 4 days after the event happened. Now if you want to argue Baylor needed a better system within the university, fine. But you don't get to put that on innocent people.
