I should say so!!! Sounds pretty good though.

Going back to earlier in the thread, I think it was BankerDog that mentioned three names. Derrick Nix, Malcolm Kelly, and Shay Hodge. Are we still thinking it's one of those three names?

This says Nix is looking at Florida and "one other program".

The other program is us as of now. I think OM may try to get in the mix at some point but for now it's us and Florida.

You can cross Shay Hodge's name off the list. We are not hiring the WR coach at Jackson Academy to be a P4 position coach.

L'Damian Washington has been followed by a few of our receivers recently. I think that may be the hire.

Just a quick background: originally from Shreveport. Played at Mizzou for Gary Pinkel and was really good. Bounced around practice squads and the CFL for a couple of years and got into coaching. Was with Lebby at OU in 2022. Just let go at Kentucky and was with Golesh at USF last year.

So it could be between us and Auburn?

Auburn is not in the running for him to my knowledge.

I wonder if there is a possibility we get Nix and Washington? I mean Lebby is going completely rogue right now so why not?

It's not out of the realm. I know Auburn is courting Anthony Tucker very hard to be their RB coach. Golesh and Tucker were together at UCF in 2020 after Lebby left for Ole Miss. So that would open up RB coach.

Saban didn't have to fire too many. His coaches were getting poached. But yes Saban firing a coach would be a good thing. However, that's not an level comparison.

I like Bumphis and all but he couldn?t keep his mouth shut and letting out information that the head honcho did not want public. All programs have sources on the inside but said sources should all be on the same page of what information should become public. If I can?t trust a member of my team, it shows he or she doesn?t respect my leadership.

Totally agree!

It may not mean anything, but we have a bunch of Mississippi State players and staff following L?Damian Washington on X.

[confucius say]

I wish we would hire a run game coordinator. We need more sophistication there. Tired of Y insert inside zone.

[Todd4State]

It's interesting that Washington has a history of being a motivational speaker.

[KB21]

All signs are pointing towards L'Damian Washington being the WR coach.

[BigDawg81]

He is at a different place every year except at USF. He was there for 2 years.

A week ago at this time, we got the shocker of all shocking moves announced when Pete Thamel tweeted that Zach Arnett was the target for the defensive coordinator job. Will we get any moves today that are "shocking"?
