Arnett signs 3 year deal

[CaptainObvious]

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

So you think if we over-paid our QBs we would have been better? 😳😳

[PGHBulldogBG]

Now do B1G and Indiana specifically!

Indiana is an outlier because they struck gold with Cignetti. Selmon turned me off when he didn?t hire him when he had the chance, but the chance of finding a Cignetti really is a needle in a haystack and we have never been able to do that with coaching in any sport outside of maybe Vic Schaefer

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.

Are you high?!

This is the dumbest thing I think you've ever posted.

If we're going to make a terrible hire at DC we might as well double down and give him a terrible contract to go with it.

No, I think he?s saying we got what we could afford. I would much prefer to drink single malt scotch every night but as is I drink a lot of domestic beer?

We do tend to fall into a pattern of making some bizarre decisions where if our first couple choices don?t work out that we make a panic hire, but there are other good DCs out there who don?t have the resume of Durkin but could still be good options. I still think we should?ve went after Jessie Bobbit or someone who is young and energetic that has been successful at every stop he has been instead of settling and making a panic decision

You deny that we should have won the Texas and Florida games, but Lebby choked them away with questionable decisions?

[EdwardDrayton]

He's always saying we can't be better cuz we're poor and we need more money. That's bullshit. We're not poor AND we're not getting value for the money we are spending. We're low in the SEC but not overall.

It's pretty wild how Lebby supporters will almost always admit that he's not a very good "gameday coach" but when you point out that if he were a good one instead of a bad one we would have gone 7-5 instead of 5-7, they start flailing and namecalling.

He?s not wrong. The thing that everyone has trouble with understanding is how bad the roster was in Lebby?s first year. It has taken an entire portal cycle to field a team that is competitive in the SEC. We spent $15 million this year on a roster that can at least play competitively for 3 quarters in most sec games. Thats where the other $10?$15 million we didn?t spend comes in. The 4th quarter of sec games. We didn?t have the depth to play a sec schedule. And we didn?t have the star power on the d line either.

We got the value for what we paid we didn?t pay enough to finish the job.

[BeardoMSU]

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

He should've benched #2 and started the kid...

We didn't need a better roster to go 7-5. I mean, sure it would have helped, but Lebby choked that away.

Why are you trying to divert attention with Pavia. So Vandy spends more than us. So we're 35th in the country instead of 34. Again, we're low in the SEC but we're not poor. More money will help but we're not getting value for what we're already spending.

[TrapGame]

LOL!

Bruh, there's a missed field goal and three 15 yard penalties not on Lebby.

And I'll do you one better. We make the field goal vs Tennessee and we win without going into over time.

Hell, if we didn't have a defense in bottom three of the SEC we would have won 7 games.

[Rawdawg]

A better roster allows you to be imperfect and still win. With the roster we have there is very little room for error, especially when every conference game but 1 we?re playing a more talented team.

And despite everything you listed, if he just lines up and kicks the FG instead of calling a questionable pass play against Florida, we probably win. Or at least everyone doesn't blame him so hard for the loss if we miss the FG.

Similarly, all he had to do was run out the clock against Texas and he kept snapping it with 10-20 seconds left on the clock.

Are those the only reasons we lost the games? No. We could have spent more money on a better roster and maybe we could have won those games in spite of Lebby. (Of course, then maybe we're close enough against Missouri and Ole Miss for Lebby to choke those away.) But I don't know if the money problem is ever going to be fixable. The "head coach makes bad decision" problem is fixable, and it's up to Lebby whether it's fixable with him or fixable with a new coach.
