Virginia didn't make it. Selmon, you're on the clock!

[msstate7]

Amen. Ridiculous how some people judge others while having their own issues.

I don?t give a 17 if a coach is a debaucherous prick. I don?t become friends with them and don?t want to be. I don?t want my mind clouded when they need to be fired.

What exactly has Lebby won?

What exactly has Lebby won?

Not a damn thing.

[CaptainObvious]

What exactly has Lebby won?

Hopefully the Locker Room after getting 33 n'v'r-do-wells out of it!

[Todd4State]

What exactly has Lebby won?

One less game than Dave Clawson did in year one at Wake Forest.

[Cowbell]

Guys this is a baseball thread. We will get to melt from Sep-Dec over football so save your energy on that. Gonna need it.

[KOdawg1]

I just went cross-eyed reading this thread.

No final decision has been made but O’Connor is expected to stay at Virginia.

[EdwardDrayton]

What exactly has Lebby won?

A rhetorical question he asked.

Seems like I've saw this episode before...

I'm shocked

I'm shocked

Hopefully this time is different, but I'm old enough to remember all these exciting names getting thrown around only to hire some dude from Indiana

Disappointing if true. For my whole life, our fan base and administration have been infected with an inferiority complex. Every time I think that may be changing, things come crashing down.

Have you ever considered that you may have been wrong from day one? That the guy has never been a candidate for the job and we are talking to other people. And you and others have pushed a narrative to fit facts rather than facts to fit a narrative. Y'all have fallen for every line of bullshit that has been thrown out there by by the college baseball media types. Sadly this is what happens every time, they throw out fresh meat and y'all gobble it up, and when it doesn't happen the guy we hire is a disappointment.

I've literally cautioned against this exact thing once a week since O'Conner's name first appeared. Because it happens every time a coaching search occurs, and it's not just a Mississippi State thing.

Ah yes, we didn't want him.

There were way too many sources out there saying he was a candidate, including UVA beat writers, for it to have been "wrong since day one."

[Coursesuper]

Where did I say that? You would glean that. This is being run the right way that will hire a great coach. But we collectively know exactly dick about who the real candidates are and when and how they are contacting them, but feel free to continue to fall for everything you hear that you want to believe.

I don't think it was ever wrong that he was a candidate. But I think some got out over their skis thinking it was a done deal and we were just waiting for the ink to dry. He was a candidate and we spoke to his reps and backchanneled with him a bit. Just like we have already done with around 12-14 other candidates. WE NEVER FORMALLY SAT DOWN WITH HIM.

I didn't fall for anything. I said from the get go that we won't get the big name just like we didn't last time.
