Arnett signs 3 year deal

[Coach34]

Sooo many hardheaded, unable to accept the change of NIL era football.

Right. We lost on DC applicants because of our NIL- literally nothing to do with Lebby or where he stands at State. DC's want dudes and in this era you need money to buy dudes.

Everything you keep saying makes Lebby an even worse fit for us. If our NIL situation is as permanently hopeless as you always say, then gameday coaching is the only thing that will let us steal a few extra wins over the years.

[Coach34]

What a delusional thing to say. Nobody I talk to in real life is remotely "optimistic." Social media replies and comments are almost entirely negative. Every MSU board except this one is 80% or more "Fire Lebby..

I'm in Louisiana and literally everyone I come on contact with talks about how they see us on the rise. Liked our offense.

Our AD doesnt look down on our coach when he is coaching a bottom tier budget team. Neither does other people. That 3 yr contract Arnett got tells me Lebby will be our coach in 2027

LSU fans loved when we had Croom too. Always praised him.

Let?s revisit this when we win 3-4 games next year

NIL + Donor Contributions had us ranked 34th in the country at $23M. We are not poor so stop with the bullshit narrative.

Our NIL situation isn?t permanently hopeless but it is the number 1 investment we need to make on campus. I?m talking academics too. Keenum needs to encourage as much money to be donated to NIL as we absolutely can. Everything will benefit from it. Selmon understands this he?s just been playing catch up since he took the job.

That is in no way factual

It also can come down to in-game decision making. We were good enough at every position except HC to be 7-5 this year.

It's completely plausible that it happens again next year and we Lebby ourselves into 1 or 2 or 3 fewer wins than we're capable of.

What i said....

[PGHBulldogBG]

Two things can be true at the same time. Our NIL is not bad in the scope of college football but it is compared to other SEC team. At the same time, Lebby made some bad coaching decisions against UF and Texas. Our NIL is more on the lines of an above average ACC and big 12 team. If we want to compete in this league we need our boosters to open up the pocket book

Link? And the fact that you cant even include Vandy makes it ridiculous

You can blame Lebby for Texas 100%

The Tenn/Fla blame is based on maybe's. He could have bled the clock and won the Texas game maybe in spite of our stupidity hitting the QB late. Lebby didnt hit the QB I'll remind you.

But the Tenn and Fla games were tooth and nail. We didnt make the plays when needed. It happens

Hurts to get called out, huh.

No we weren't. We were in a position to win 7 games because of the head coach.

No- it makes you look dumb when you cant provide a link or even understand that Candy pays their QB 2MM while our QB entire room makes less than that

[CaptainObvious]

Now do B1G and Indiana specifically!

I don?t really blame Lebby for the Tenn game. They clearly had a talent advantage and just had a better team. I actually thought he did the best he could there. His decision to not kick the field goal against UF though was clearly on him and his decision in the 2nd quarter to run the same QB run over and over was poor coaching.
