Sumrall? Auburn

Silverfield? Arkansas
I mean you want to hire Gruden?
... I have posted a list of 16 names many times, and no, I didn't put Gruden on there.

If you still can't decide whether or not Lebby sucks, what would it take?

All 16 names will not come here if you fire Lebby after improving. And our fans can think what they want in terms of improvement. Other coaches are not as emotional. It is black and white. We were god awful last year and we have shown a ton of improvement this year.

Yeah... but I think Gruden cares and wants to put his energy into something we might go down in flames but it would be entertaining.

Trending down. We are currently trending up. 2 wins to 5 wins is improvement. Actually having a P4 roster is improvement. Tonight was a disappointment and it sucked. I am extremely pissed. But I am also not going to be reactionary and say that Herbert Davis could run this program better than Lebby, and I respect Herbert a lot.

Absolutely could be. At least Gruden has some college coaching experience.

Bullѕhit.
They said no one would come here if we fired Croom, but then we hired Mullen, one of the top coordinators in the country.
They said no one would come here if we fired Moorhead, but then we hired Leach, poached from a Power Five school and a top 10 national head coach.
They said no one would come here if we fired Lemonis, but then we hired O'Connor, poached from a Power Four school and a top 5 national head coach.

So if Lebby had gone 4-8 last year instead of 2-10, would you be higher or lower on him?
I would be a lot higher on him, but apparently you wouldn't be because we wouldn't have the "improvement" ??

Correct. I would expect 6 wins if we went 4-8 last year.

We could have gotten him out of high school. He has D1 athlete in his genes and I know one former coach of his family members that pushed our coaches to take him. The knock on Ahmad was that he was not big or fast enough. He is currently a little bit bigger but no faster.

I had this same mindset before tonight. Tonight really, really showed he isn't cut out to be a HC. Tonight was an embarrassment to the fans and the University. And then I think about our other losses this season. Coaching has killed us. It would be different if Lebby was progressing but I see him regressing instead.

1. We gave Croom five years. You're giving Lebby TWO.
2. We had plenty of scandals we could point to with Moorhead. Tutorgate, Shrader/Gay fight. Coaches understand if you fire someone because of that. Not for doubling the teams win total. If Lebby has a scandal then that changes things too.
3. We gave Lemonis four seasons after he won a NC. We wouldn't have gotten anyone if we fired him before that. So, again see point one.

That's absolutely wild. "I am happy with 7-16 but would be less happy with 9-14."
