ROW IN THE SAME DIRECTION.

    Also, can a certain two members of our media either have their press credentials revoked or stop shitting on the team every 5 seconds. I get things aren't good and it's ok to point that out but I mean holy shit, Hadad and Faulk are the anti Mcready or Yancy. All they do is talk down about Mississippi State, which is funny since covering Mississippi State is what pays for their lives so they're not delivering pizzas or covering Amory vs Nettleton on a Friday night for $50.
    What else is funny is that MSU made a lot of changes that they demanded. Like going away from the Air Raid, going to the script State, getting Hardy to do a concert at MSU, and hiring Arnett and Lebby. And almost all of those things have turned to shit. Sounds like Hardy was the only good thing actually.

    I still like Lebby and he is getting 2 full years minimum but yeah we should have hired Art within 48 hours of Leach leaving us.

    I have said this before many of times, but I will keep saying it. The media already hates us. They will always hate us. Nothing we do will stop them from shitting on us when they get the chance. So **** them and **** journalist. Go hire Arty

    It doesnt matter who the HC is with the lack of OL/DL talent we have.

    Seriously. If Kiffin bolts for Florida, I fully expect OM to do a big **** you to State by going after Art Briles. I would not put it past them.

    AB should be a paid consultant for us right now. We are the epitome of nice guys finish last.

    From the OM people I have talked to, if Kiffin was to leave then they would probably settle on Tom Herman or Barry Odom. They also would look at Chadwell. They wanted Lebby and that was always the plan, but Kiffin screwed up the plan when he stayed in 2022 and we completely 17'd it up by hiring Lebby.

    Either one of those would be a step down from Lane. I like Odom but I think his ceiling is a 9 win coach in the SEC. Herman might be able to replicate Lane's success but he fell flat on his face at Texas.

    Well Lane fell flat on his face at USC so I think that is their thinking.

    One of the reasons the media likes to put us down is because we are a small university comparatively and do not have a huge fan base that would raise heck on the media that slighted us. The same goes for the media putting down the state of Mississippi. Not enough people to raise heck. Unlike New York or California which both have really bad stuff going on. Same goes for the SEC.

    Yes and from our history plus ole miss doing well in the media industry. However I was say this, if we did how AB then it would be headlines........ for a week or until something else happened then forgotten about if he wasn't in the field or box. Then you could move him up in the box next year, just ease him in like every other coach that did some sh.... stuff does
