To Lebby's defense I don't think ANY recent MSU coach has had to deal with this sort of two year schedule. He's realistically had to learn quickly figure it out. In my opinion he's had 4 opportunities to show he's capable. He'll have only a few more this year imo to show he's the guy.

1. Toledo game last year. You have to win that
2. The Arizona state game this year. He won
3. Tennessee game this year. Find a way to win
4. Florida realistically both years should have been wins
5. Texas this year should be a win
6. Arkansas should be a win

Outside of that any other SEC game is just a bonus. I may be missing some games from last year. But he's starting to resemble Morehead before he was fired. However, it's just a bad time to fire & hire a new coach.
