Poll Question: Should we fire Lebby if we finish 4-8 (0-8)?

[Coach34]

Last season doesn’t even count for Lebby. You guys are beating a ghost that isn’t there

[Bdawg]

Clark Lea went from 0-8 in year 1 to 2-6 in year 2. If Lebby does that, nobody will be calling for his firing.

Lea wouldn?t have made it past year 3 around here though.

To be fair, Lea wouldn't have made it past year 3 at almost any power 4 school. Congrats to Vanderbilt for having it work out, but that's a really unusual thing to happen.

[Bdawg]

Our losses have nothing to do with NIL, nada. This year showed us that we have enough NIL to compete and win.

We put a solid starting team together. But we cant overcome injuries in key places. OL, our best DLman, and our best RB hurts bad. Depth has hurt in the 4th quarter and that where we fall short on NIL. Plus, great DL, Ts, and QBs cost a crap ton.

[msstate7]

And if Lebby is 0-9 next season, are you guys gonna stump for him then bc of Lea?

It's quasi-religious the level of attachment some posters have for Lebby. I've never seen it in real life, just on message boards.

Ehhhh.... personal foul, hurry up offense in running clock time, and punting to the best PR guy in the country lost the game, not depth

Guess they were smart enough to either see something in him or know they weren’t hiring a proven sitting HC

[Bdawg]

Those played a factor too. We are also getting our asses whipped in the fourth when it matters. Our OL got worse and the defense too. You can’t just have 22 guys. Whitson and Fluff hurt us bad.

[Bdawg]

Not my decision but I doubt I would be very happy we kept him. Guess it depends on if our boosters help him build another decent team or give him more money or less money. Less money will only make it harder. Vandy was just smart enough to see something in him or maybe, just maybe, they went out and spent some money to get some better players and a qb.

I think he just hit an inside straight on the draw. Their qb wasn't supposed to be this good, but he is, and for that, Lea should be given credit. It isn't like they went out and outbid sec programs for him though

[SPMT]

You can?t hold him accountable for last year! NOW, this is his second year, and we are 10k times better. If you told me at the beginning of the season, that we would be 4-0 after our first 4, and then tell me that we could/should be 7-1 or 6-2 thru 8 I would have told you to 17 off. SO, I think we can win 2 games. If the last 3 games haven?t opened your eyes to what he has done after what he was dealt, well I think you?re nuts. He needs to hire an OC, and he needs to be coached during the game on clock management and short yardage packages. He should take some pointers from Kiffin on short yardage. He deserves 3 years, but Selmon needs to ?urge? him to hire an OC.

This is where I am.

Lebby is abhorrently bad at head coach during a game. It?s crystal clear.

He must improve, he can call and setup explosive plays pretty well. The roster is good or we wouldn?t have had these terrible losses. He needs depth on the roster.

It just baffles me that someone can believe this but also want to keep Lebby around.

Yeah he has really panned out for them. But they have spent money elsewhere too. They have a pretty dang good team. Will be interesting to see how things go the next few years.

[SPMT]

I think he should go but I also believe the timing has to be right. Sadly, I hear we had more NIL and that has gotten us onky 2 more wins. Getting commitment for even more NIL for next year will be very difficult.

Let?s see if he loses the locker room.if he does it?s over, regardless.

[Todd4State]

KT will be a stud in a Malzahn/Mullen spread offense. Gonna be fun watching him wherever he is next season.

He's going to be a stud in a Veer and Shoot offense too.

[Todd4State]

"You can't blame Lebby for getting humiliated by Toledo because our talent was THAT bad" is a delusional and indefensible position to take.

OK. So apples to apples how did we do against Northern Illinois this year?

[Quaoarsking]

He beat them, just like Arnett beat Western Michigan in 2023.

[Dawgology]

There’s no way I would fire Lebby this season. Not because he’s a good coach but because the competition will be insane on the coaching carousel. Based on his decision making thus far I would imagine we will have a football coaching search start up in Nov’ of 26.

[Todd4State]

And if Lebby is 0-9 next season, are you guys gonna stump for him then bc of Lea?

Hell no. And that's the difference. The rational people that I have seen on here have acknowledged the issues and have set a boundary for what is acceptable and not acceptable at this point based on the situation. And almost everyone has said that if by next year he still can't win you pull the plug. I think that's very reasonable.

I haven't seen anyone that I would say is blindly loyal to Lebby.
