Would Selmon fire his buddy? If we limp to 5-7 even without Kamario - lebby should be gone.
I’ve asked this a couple of times…
- Thread starter dawgstudent
- Start date
I would fire him at 6-6. Can we not expect more than 6-6 in year 3? If not, just go to the sunbelt
He should. Not having a solid 2 after last two years should have taught him something. He hasn't had a qb start every game yet. Not to mention keeping hutzler two years and lack of good recruiting on defense. The complete drop off with out KT over the whole team shows a culture issue, an issue in recruiting as well. You have to build and develop and recruit serviceable depth. Lebby struck out. I'd argue if it weren't for KT growing up a state fan, he would have been fired already. KT doesn't go here and based on what I've seen from Lebby we wouldn't have beat Mizzou or usc east without him.
I wouldn’t be against it. It’s just the lack of trying something different. It sucks Kamario is injured but you can’t keep trotting puckett out there. I don’t blame Puckett but you have to give Swann a series. Or explain why Swann doesn’t get one.
And let me add - Oklahoma sucks. If Kamario is healthy - we win by 14+. But alas - he isn’t.
With or without Kamario Lebby needs 7 wins this year. It is year 3, figure out how to beat Texas, auburn, or ole miss or hit the road dude
I think he would make a lateral move to another school before firing Lubby.
Agreed but the backup qb situation is just unacceptable. We spent $1 million apparently on the FSU transfer last year but this year we just ride with a walk on
What frustrates me is the complete collapse of the team mid season the past 2 seasons. We play well the first half of the season, and then its blowout central for the rest. I think 6-6 is borderline firing. If he’s 6-6 with a win over Ole Miss, he’ll get another season.
I'll answer this, later in the season. We are team built on offense, but the injuries we have had are killers.
WE must score a lot to win, and the key players have been hurt, QB might be gone for the rest of the season.
College football is a strange animal now, Hell Indiana popped out and kicked everybody's *** last year.
Never seen that before,
Like I said Ill'' hold off for now, on future staffing. Firing early is not necessary.

5-7 he’s done, period.
Yeah, losing your star QB sucks. But not having a plan sucks worse. And we have been beyond putrid without KT in the game.
This is such a dumb 17ing take.
Selmon walked into the biggest disaster in a power conference thanks solely to Keenum. He hired an elite OC from a juggernaut program, and we couldn’t have gotten much better.
Lebby has proven he can’t manage a program. It’s that simple. Sure, Selmon may have known him at OU, but this wasn’t corporate nepotism. It was getting the best you could for your employer at the time in an impossible situation.

Why is Selmon safe in this scenario?
Injuries piling up. Poor job of recruiting/developing depth.
You can’t fire him without the next guy in place already. He would have to be an offensive guy with a great track record to retain the offensive stars we have. The chances of nailing that hire are very low. And if K1 walks and stars somewhere else, you’ve lost the fan base for a decade or more. Risky.
It’s a business. I suspect that both Selmon and Lebby understand this regardless of whether they are buddies.
If he isn't willing to change the strength and conditioning program he should be gone. Our team seems to get weaker every year. I remember the days when teams hated to play us because we'd punch em in the mouth all game. With Lebby's offense it can be done here but players gotta be in tip top shape on both the O and D.
If he goes 5-7 again, he has failed to show year-over-year improvement. Nobody should go 0-3 in the Egg Bowl and get another year. He’s gotta go.
Selmon shouldn't have a choice. The people who chipped in all that NIL money should tell Selmon to pull the trigger.
As soon as we drop below .500, he should be fired. No need to wait until the end of the season.
He will beat Vanderbilt and directional Tennessee, and will be back next year.
This!!! He keeps trying to pound a square peg into a round hole. He is completely clueless.
WTF. Teams literally can turn around in one year with the portal. He’s had three. This isn’t 1970s 80s 90s 2000s football anymore. It’s a whole new ballgame pun intended.
That costs money. Glad to hear you are going to pay for it. I’m really looking forward to next year now!
He needs to be fired.. nothing he is doing or has done in the last three years demonstrates any competitive or winning culture.
You have the answer. NO you don't. You're the last one any of us would listen to. You have more empty posts in the neighborhood than the ones who founded this board. You need to learn volume doesn't make you right. Now goat just stfu, take a break. Good
Night!!
lebby got on the hot seat & beamer became a choclate bar at fat camp.......in < a month.
To me, it comes down to this. The things that were a glaring issue when he got here are still a glaring issue. No offensive or defensive line. No depth when have a starter go down. About the only position group that is solid is receiver. The rest is either marginal SEC quality from top to bottom or no SEC quality once you get past the starter.
State isn't beating Vandy unless something drastic changes between the two teams. But I believe you have the rest of the sentence correct.
Plain as day Lebby is still the same terrible coach. If he didn't have K1 for 4 games the only thing this board would be talking about these days is coaching possibilities.
It’s not the losses that do it for me, it is the absolute lack of inspiration anywhere on this team. That is 100% lack of leadership and Selmon needs to be held accountable too.
