No posts on the Bumphis rumor?

It takes up about 2 pages of the coaching tracker thread.

Also, it's not a rumor anymore. 247 has run the story. It's official.

[BorneDawg]

I know I expected someone in the know to let us know something......

[Saltydog]

I haven't seen it confirmed but this one surprises me if true. I thought our WR's were much improved this year as a whole. I mean, we had two guys that were almost 1,000 yard receivers. Plus, he's a local guy with a lot of ties to MS and loves MSU.

I mean what do you want to know? There's stuff I'm hearing. I know KB has heard some stuff. Tater I would imagine is hearing things as well.

Better be a homerun replacement. On the surface our wide receivers have been our best position group.

And about 22 other WR types on the '25 roster that barely saw the field or no stats at all. See the thread i started below.

Let's just say that Jeff Lebby is tying up some leaks.

Better be a homerun replacement. On the surface our wide receivers have been our best position group.

But how many of those did Chad actually get? He didn't get Thompson. He didn't get Evans. And he only technically got one of Craver and Coleman depending on who is telling you, and it's a lot closer that he got none than both.

He has not recruited well and has not developed well. Unfortunately you have to do one of those well at the P4 level. Look I like Chad. I think he's a good dude. He's extremely nice and was a great player for us. But at the end of the day, being a former player can't outweigh that you can't recruit or develop at a consistent and high level. It also doesn't help his case when he's out there leaking stuff to media and boosters.

Lebby isn't being passive this offseason

[Ranchdawg]

What was he leaking to the media and boosters?

Well the Kamario starting news for one. That was the last straw from what I was told. He was also leaking stuff last year about Craver trying to change the narrative that Craver was a cancer.

Allegedly too close with some friendly media.

Position corches come and go. That's what they do. If he wasn't an ex popular State player it wouldn't be getting a lot of attention.

Bumphis and Hadad had a podcast before Faulk and Hadad did Thunder and Lightning.

People can connect the dots given where the KT is starting the Egg Bowl rumor came from.

Biggest concern with me is Bump is gone and Bell isn't. I know I've posted it a couple times, but I worry Lebby isn't prioritizing defense enough. I know he is an offensive guy. It just bothers me Bell is still employed. I can look past the former player stuff.. I'm more of a results guy. I dont care about anything else.

Well if Bumphis was fired for leaking info I can understand why Lebby would want him gone sooner than later.

Bottom line is we let go of someone who bled maroon and white, someone who chose us as our highest rated recruit in a time when we were at our lowest. When he could have gone to several other blue bloods. And someone who has ties to a lot of MS high school coaches.

People can paint the picture of him not bringing in players all they want to but for all we know, playing for Lebby and this diseased program is the true problem. But here we are again, our own worst enemy. Yeah lets disown one of our own and back a coach who wont be here after next year.

This is why we suck at this stuff and why OM runs circles around us in pulling in the same direction.
