Maybe we could have gotten some of those guys but we felt Lebby could get similar results or better for less money....you don't know, I don't know, nobody knows....so wth is your point? Do you need a Pat on the back this bad? You and Tater are insufferable with your repetitive "look at me" posts today.
Tater is not in support of Lebby, and you were proven right (in your mind) that we can't get a sitting P5 head coach. Congrats you two! Everyone is giving you a hand! Can we drop that crap now and just get behind the guy we ARE hiring?
lol- it's always fun when people dont want to hear they were wrong just a week ago.

Bottom line is no one knows definitively if we have someone. So there's no one to support yet.

I didn't figure we had a shot at either Kansas coach or Chadwell but a closed mouth never gets fed so we had to try and hope. I figured Herman would jump since he is making $700k so he was who I was really expecting.

Lebby may not win big here, but thank God we didn't hire a defensive guy that couldn't recruit a QB and runs a boring offense. We need excitement, we need something that drives butts into seats and money into NIL. If we can get anything close to the offense I saw yesterday in the OU/TCU game, we will achieve that. And at very worst, we will be in MUCH better shape for the next hire. Hopefully that will be a long time though

I'm half witted excited. Pisses me off he coached at Pissville U, I like Tater am very apprehensive about the history with Briles. I have to trust our administration they did their homework and trust the vetting process. Get good coordinators, jump on the recruiting trail and let's move forward.

They weren't proven wrong. And you weren't proven right. But who gives af other than you? Damn man, you are so consumed with attention it's mind blowing. Get over yourself. It's exhausting.

Yawn. Fake news. We'll never know. Sumrall is not what we need

ok- but when you tell people the top priority is a sitting HC- you look dumb when it isnt. One of those most of our fanbase had ranked above our apparent choice just 7 days ago

I'm pretty sure it was always Lebby. Tried telling people last night. It just made to much sense & I knew if Selmon was making this hire that's who it was going to be. My source was essentially a Senior player on the team & information gathering. I put two & two together days ago. Didn't need an "insider" to see the writing on the wall.
Sumrall was never a serious contender no matter what Steve say's in his "now that it's over" lol. I did fear that Keenum may have stepped in late & overrode Lebby, but even that didn't make sense after I got to thinking about Kendall Briles having an offer in hand last year. If they were willing to hire Briles, Lebby dang sure wasn't going to be turned down.
Elko, Fritz, Chaldwell & Lashlee were also never serious contenders.
Of course Selmon went through the process, but that was always going to happen. You always need a backup plan.
Btw, I got smart with ReallyClark? last night and shouldn't have. I apologize. I really do appreciate guys like him & Homedog among many others on this board, because they are way more knowledgeable about all things MSU than I am & definitely have way more sources.
Now let's go out and get a Portal QB, two O Linemen, a Tight End, a Linebacker, Rush End, a cornerback & two safety's & do whatever it takes to keep Zavion, Creed & Seth Davis & the WR/TE that transferred on last year & play in a NY6 bowl next year 😁

It may look bad but it isn't nearly as bad as what was said before the Lem hire.

Sumrall is higher floor and lower ceiling. He's exactly the guy we try to hire. He'll fit in well at Kentucky. Stoops at A&M is just weird. Even weirder the timing of it all today.

No he isn't. We do not need a defensive coach. Sumrall is a dud

That's in the last 45 years. We haven't won one in 80. Should we just count the last ten??20??? Won't like that result either I'm afraid. But we didn't win 10 in 18. We didn't even win 9.

I would say your source is really bad on this one, but you don't have one, you're just butthurt... Sumrall was never going to be the coach here.
