2026 Mississippi State Football Coaching Turnover Tracker 2.0

I am sure all the OM coaches will be job hunting this time next year.

Could be the same in Starkville

I doubt it. Having a competent defensive coordinator complimenting a competent offense with a talented, young QB is a winning recipe. OM is taking two steps back at least.

Right now both us and Ole Miss go into next year with 2 guaranteed wins and 0 guaranteed losses. (You could argue they have 1 guaranteed loss). They've definitely already taken the 2 steps back and it could get ugly.

Right now we're both in similar standing with our trajectory pointed upward and theirs pointed downward and the portal will show if that to be reality.

If we flop on lines - 2-10 is possible. If they flop and lose most of their talent to the portal, 2-10 is very possible for them.

They are employing the "over pay" on everybody approach to keep everyone in with lil Petey

Talent has to have coaches

[StarkVegasSteve]

Frank Wilson seems to be heading to Oxford to be the new RB coach at OM. That takes Derrick Nix completely out of the running at OM. So it will be down to us and Bama for WR coach and also Florida for RB coach.

We are going to end up with Farmer Fran aren’t we?

[Really Clark?]

Not as WR coach!! He would be a DL coach if anything. He and Orgeron have the same philosophy.

[CaptainObvious]

Wow! Not having the coaching staff in place and evaluating potential portal transfers is not a good look 2 weeks before portal opens. Is State running it back without a WR coach and DL coach? Strange.

What from this season made you think Lebby would handle these coaching transitions smoothly and on time?

I am sure they have the evaluation under control.

Our fans think they have to in the loop or we suck. Not true at all. How do you know that we are not looking at a coach on team in a bowl game or playoffs?

You dont. What you think is you deserve to be in the know and if you are its all nothing more than bull shit

Exactly.

Somehow since it is not blasted all over socials and message boards we must have incompetent coaches that are just a bunch of tards sitting around making grill cheese sandwiches and farting.

That he fired the one major leak and no one has any real information being floated because everyone else is tightlipped right now seeing Bump gone for it.

If it's 1/5 and we don't have a WR/DL coach announced then panicking is fair.

Exactly. And if there is anything to panic over it's not who our WR coach is.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Derek Nix Bama as the wide receiver coach. That basically confirms we will not have a higher until probably either a day before or a day after the ball game.

And hell, with this staff, we could have a hire tomorrow

[KB21]

Something tells me that we were never really in it with Nix.

Apparently, there wasn?t supposed to be any staff changes until after the bowl game but somehow the Bumphis firing got leaked. Did Bumphis leak that too

That would be ironic.

If he was leaking info I could certainly see Lebby saying "we just can't have you around anymore."

Bumphis might already knew and did not want to wait until after the bowl game.

[Todd4State]

Bumphis might already knew and did not want to wait until after the bowl game.

Maybe so. He obviously landed with UNLV pretty quickly.
