As bad as we have been we have played harder this year as opposed to least year...
    The solution is to give Lebby the resources to succeed next year (portal), and if he doesn't make a bowl, fire him and hope the next guy can win.

    I'm sure we'll give him 2025 and 2026 before we can end this nightmare because we have to pretend to show continuity.

    Lebby will improve the team next year but I doubt he wins more than 4 or 5.

    It's hard to not like the way Brady Cook brought that Mizzou team back to win @ Aub, being so banged up. He will get it done again.

    41-31 Mixxouri.

    If we go 2-10, it will be the first year since 2002 that we have not won a SEC in a season. I dare say about any staff could have beaten only E KY and UMASS this year. Lebby deserves more time, but I have seen no improvement except in the passing game (QB/WR only). Need a real DC asap and perhaps a couple of other position coaches.

    I agree about giving him another year with a min of 4-5 wins next year and bowl game in 3rd year.... to do that he will need to replace a couple coaches and use NI money to bring in better players though

    The funds are there to bring in better players. We have plenty of that. It's actually very impressive what Charlie and his team have done from that standpoint. It just comes down to executing on the recruiting trail from the coaches.

    Well, sounds like they need to produce if the resources are there. We just have no hype around the program like we did with Mullen.

    Mullen didn't have hype until he beat Ole Miss. We had been outscored 73-24 in the two games prior and most people thought OM was going to dirtroll us. I mean we had been close in a game against LSU and didn't get blown out by Florida. I guess you can call that hype but Mullen didn't have a signature win until the Egg Bowl.

    ******* first year was pretty hype and you could see the potential.

    Maybe you saw it. I saw us not get dusted by the teams we usually got dusted by and win the Egg Bowl. We just had come off having nothing for almost a decade and Mullen finally provided hope. I don't think it was hype, it was hope.

    This is my recollection as well.
