Coaching Rumors Mega-Thread

[DEDawg]

Vegas sets the win total on what avg Joe thinks a win total will be to get action on both sides. They aren't saying what they think a team will actually win

and 99% of the time that is the same thing. replace everything in the post you quoted where I said "Vegas" with "avg Joe" and its the exact same point.

Then that means we are still better in the eyes of everyone that follows college football fans except for a few of our dumbass fans like you.

A few? He's lost the X/message board crowd. I only have anecdotal evidence, but In my personal circles, it's 60/40 anti-Lebby

[msstate7]

Lebby can get the whole fanbase behind him with a win Friday. If we get blown out though, he's a lame duck entering next season. This is a huge game for Lebby

Outside of Starkville, nobody could believe we fired Moorhead or Arnett when we did, and a lot of people were even surprised we fired Croom. Of course we know our own situation better than others. Just like Virginia Tech fans knew their situation better than we did, and UCLA fans, etc., etc.

He's had a lot of "huge games" this year.

ASU - barely won
UTK - barely lost
UFired - barely lost
UTAustin - barely lost
Arky - barely won

Hopefully he evens it out, but it's a sign for a nail biter. I think most every state fan will take our chances with a close game in the last 5 minutes. Yea big chance our coach royally ****s it up, buttttttt he didn't **** it up in two of those chances. Overall 40% odds is objectively what we're looking at (hand waving opponent level obviously lol).

A 2013 style win with Kamario playing the role of Dak (i know Dak was the true starter and just injured) would galvanize the fanbase. Propel us to 6-6 and a bowl game against a shitty school. Win that. Look ahead at a schedule full of teams with ?s. Keep KT / Isaac and upgrade the OL/DL. State could have a 2014 style year next year.

Hope is dangerous. It can drive a man insane. I'm choosing to be insane until 11 AM on friday rather than being proactively pessimistic. Insane people have more fun.

I actually feel better about the egg now than I have all season. I think the combo of them being distracted and us being embarrassed at mizzou is gonna have us ready to pounce. I really hope Friday night and Saturday is a whole bunch of calling me out... I will be here to take my medicine.

I'm talking about on a national level. Not MSU. And if 60% of our fans are anti-Lebby at this point is proves my point that our fan base has stupid fans.

Same. Karmically it would be a beautiful cash-in from the universe.

Can we keep this thread on topic

[Todd4State]

Some of the Lane Kiffin stuff on X is pretty brutal.

Their fans are either in denial that he is leaving or they're making buttons for the Egg Bowl that say FULK.

[PGHBulldogBG]

Where is LSU on the Brian Kelly firing/buyout situation. I wonder if the results of that will impact the hiring

[msstate7]

Any chance we can talk Dj Durkin into being our DC?

[DownwardDawg]

Can we keep this thread on topic

I would really like that. I come here for rumors!!!

[Coursesuper]

Agree, and I’m guilty of not doing exactly that. Better thread for coaching rumors than other BS.

He's making 2.5M so it would need to be 3M to even start the convo but I'm pretty sure he will get a HC job this cycle. There's about to be a ton of dominos falling

[Pancho]

If aubie is smart, they hire Durkin as HC. but is aubie smart?

If he doesn't have job he may have to take what he can get. That said if it takes 3 million to get him I'm good with that but we're probably going to have to give Lebby a raise too since he's getting 4.5 million.

[Maroon Glasses]

Last i read... LSU offered him 30 mill and then 25 mill. He turned down both and is demanding the full 53 mill buyout. It's a mess. And I read somewhere that it does not effect Kiffin and his deal of 13 mill a year (90 mill total) and a guarantee of 25 mill a year for NIL.

I'd be after Willie Fritz if I were auburn.

[Tater]

Hiring durkin as HC is a worker's comp suit waiting to happen.

Huff should have game prepped instead of reading tiger droppings and hoping that he indeed does have an interview lined up with Ole Miss.
