Just here to say that we have money issues.. not coaching

[tcdog70]

Gotta disagree. It was his play calling that got us in position to win to begin with. Imagine if we had an OL that was comparable to ANYBODY else in the SEC. We don't. If we did, we would be an 8 win team. That goes for the DL/LB too. Being thin has hurt us at the end of games (tx and UT).

We are not far off. We need maybe 5 to 7 million more to raise the bar at OL and DL/LB.

how about hire an OL coach to Coach these OLinemen up. They look lost. They do look better with Kamario as the QB. Shapen doesn't help them by holding the ball toolong and his $hitty pocket awareness.

We have enough money to be a 8 win team this year. It's obviously not the money

you Sir are right again. It is squarely on the HC.

[Lord McBuckethead]

The idea that no one on here understands we are in a bad money position and just jealous of Ole Miss is hysterically out-of-touch. We all get it.

We need a coach who can win despite the financial disadvantages. Even if Lebby could hypothetically be a good coach at a richer school (which I doubt), he doesn't appear to be the right coach for us.

I mean, our money issues didn't lead to the following:

Tennessee and Texas Game - Snapping the ball up 17 in the 4th with 25 seconds on the play clock.
Florida - Throwing the ball, when in field goal range down 2 with less than a minute remaining. We have a beast of a running back and a running QB. Let them get dirty.
Missouri - Whatever the 17 that was. 8 plays inside the 10 to take the lead, and our running backs have 2 carries in the entire half? Even then, we need to the outside not up the middle. We will never learn.

Does he even coach a simple pump fake, or is it just staring down a single receiver? Do we have plays that take advantage of the middle of the field? Do we have a play with mesh crossing routes like every other team in America?

Why do we never run blitz or stunt? I don't remember us doing either the entire game against Mizzou.

The OL is just not good. Not a single one of them would start for Kentucky.
Give us the 2014 OL and 2018 DL and we may be undefeated right now.

[tcdog70]

and this is what apparently our fans have no idea about. Mississippi's roster is easily 8-10MM more than ours. You get what you pay for

plus their Coach is light years better than our Coach.

If the money situation is as dire as being said here, then our only choice will be to do the triple option or something. If you don't have the funds that other teams have, you can't try to run similar offenses as them.

or we can just kick the game winning FG---or run the clock down when up by 17 in the 4th. or run a 17ing QB sneak when you are on the 2 with 4 downs (with KT) or hand the ball to Fluff instead of letting Shapen run it. all pretty simple standard football plays that 95% of the Coaches in the USA would do--

Not 95%, literally every single coach except ours.

First and goal at the 2.
We ran KT and lost 2 yards.

Well, we aren?t going to get the money. It just isn?t there for Football nor will it ever be if our wealthy NFL players don?t step up and make sizable donations. And frankly, I don?t think they care. They got what they needed out of State and have moved on in life. I would be very surprised if any of their kids that turn out to be great athletes even think about attending MSU. The Jenkins kid is a different situation because it is a football dad raising a very talented baseball son. Where are our legacy star football players? None. Where is our athletics department bringing all those Probowlers in during the off-season to try and get them on board with helping with NIL and Coaches Salaries?

I said earlier, we could charge an NIL fee on top of every ticket but ticket prices are already pricing out the average State fans family.

I have no clue but do ..... Dak - Chris Jones - Slay - McPhee - KJ - Cox.... those type players give much to the program?

[DawgFromOxford]

I almost typed this in an earlier post and deleted it -

A big part of what has everyone so PO'd is that we bought in. Again. Got our hopes up. Again. And we shit the bed. Again.

This a thousand times this.

Actually, this is a very good idea. If we average just 45,000 tickets sold per game and have 6 home games, $5 added per ticket would raise
$1,350,000 for NIL. Now this might not be very much overall, but it's still something.

You be right on with this idea. Heck add extra for money for basketball and baseball tickets.

[Goldendawg]

Our "improved" defense is dead last in the SEC (We have played one more game than most, but it's still not close). We have given up 2088 yards against the run. It's terrible.

Not many football players anywhere give lots of money to their schools. It happens some but rare. But no not a lot

Also ask for "round up" voluntarily to the ticket sales if the fan wants to add more to it....That works when we are winning or high expectations.
