If we go winless in SEC, I would fire Lebby

[msstate7]

If Lebby won 2 this year and went 0-8 the next, the crying and bitching to fire him would be 10 times louder than it is now and screaming the program is going backwards.

Maybe. Let's win an sec game and find out

Yes, I would probably support firing him if we 0-8 to 2-6 to 0-9 next year. I can't imagine anyone in the fanbase wouldn't.

Just because it happened to work out for Vanderbilt doesn't mean it usually works out for anyone else.

We are in a new age of football with NIL/Portal. What used to happen doesnt mean anything now- its apples to oranges.

You guys dont get it- we are the new Vandy now. Until we spend like the rest of the conference in football- We are old school Vandy.

We fund basketball in the middle of the conference with NIL- and that is where we keep getting picked and results.
We were funding baseball middle of the conference- and were getting the same results. Now we are funding baseball in the top of the SEC and well look at what has started happening

Until football gets another 15MM per a year- we aint going to do anything. We raised our level of spending for this season and guess what? We went 4-0 OOC. But when your football funding is bottom 25% of the SEC- well that is where you are going to end up.

Drinkwitz is similar I believe. But my biggest thing is that it takes major money to crawl out this deep shit hole Lebby inherited. We are not a winning program right now. Kids want to play for a winner and make money too. So we probably have to over spend on some players unless they just love the school. What top coach are we going to hire to off set our NIL deficiencies? And what top coach wants to come here unless we get really competitive with NIL. A great coach can help some but most coaches are great because they have good to great players.

I agree. Coaching can help some but you got to have talent.

All true.

Perfect, that will be 5 head coaches within 10 years. That?s the kind of consistency needed to build a proper program. Anyway because folks like you were making these decisions we are where we are. Anyway it ain?t happening anyway.

This is why we are where we are. People with your opinion. When the tool is wrong, you change it. Period.

We?re in the NIL age. You can change a team in one year. Everyone does it. Get with the times.

Amen to that. And hopefully an easier schedule next year

Write your check. Thats the problem. Our roster is one of the cheapest in the SEC

[civildawg]

Look at all these excuses. Just shut the program down and become Villanova if our boosters are ok with this

How 'bout you write the check??!!?? You're the one advocating money solves everything.

Drinkwitz went 5-5, 3-5, 3-5, 6-2, and 5-3 in his first 5 seasons at Missouri.

Coach34 is the biggest bitch of a fan. He says we should pay more but doesn't do shit himself. All other sports are doing well but pisses on money in football. Get rid of these types of fans

Just took an hour to eat dinner have a drink and calm down. Popped back on the board to read some post game analysis. Never heard so much name calling in the first 20 posts of a thread lol. Lebby is an idiot for what he did tonight but damn did he get you guys caring about football again. Lots of passion on here

Believe me, I'm usually the one who points out that it's all about money. I get it.

But a "replacement level" coach wins today's game with our exact roster as it is. We lost because of Lebby's poor coaching decisions. And an above-average-but-not-elite coach (the kind we can get because we're an SEC job) probably beats Tennessee too.

I get that our financial situation is going to hold us back, but there are plenty of coaches we could have had instead of Lebby that would have us at 6-1 and even more that would have us at 5-2.

I would be willing to give Lebby a 3rd year even at 0-16 if the roster were so woefully underfunded that there was just nothing even a really great coach could have done. But that's not the case here. Lebby is losing games for us, and it's a huge red flag for the future.

I'm poor with 2 boys in HS that are very expensive. It's costing a grand just for the kid that plays football/baseball. Little 34 plays football/basketball so its not as bad. And I'm not the one complaining or talking about spending millions to fire this staff and then spend millions more to hire another.

We covered today. I'm happy. My sons got Pizza Hut delivered tonight because we covered. It's been a good day around here

I cared all along. I don't know where this "Lebby got you guys caring about football again" is coming from.

Only bitch here is you. Bitch/bitch/bitch. Whine/whine/whine.

Yes, I piss on football funding because its bottom of the SEC. Vandy outspends us. Mizzou outspends us. Facts just are what they are. We driving a Ford Focus in a Cadillac league in football
