Monday after heat check
- Thread starter MStateU
- Start date
Yeah, a week ago I was still at “keep the staff”. I’m out
there is no argument to be made for one more year, or seeing how the season plays out
Done. I have watched my last MSU football game for the year. Maybe I'll get a couple weeks enjoyment out of basketball.
I think we know how it will turn out. I would be surprised if we win.another game. If we keep him maybe we win 9 or 10 next year. IF K1 stays healthy all year. But that might earn him an extension and then what ??
Yep, this Saturday was the last straw for me as well.
I will wear the logo and they are my team, but I am done worrying about it. As bad as it sounds and I don’t want to accept, we are a loser program, we just lose.

If they keep Lebby another year I may be done forever. I mean they might as well say, "we don't care anymore."
I can't go there. I am a State fan to the grave I guess but getting me to pay for tickets and NIL, not happening. I am not paying to watch that.
I'm in the "wait until the end of the year" camp right now, but a strong "I AM DONE" lean. I don't like making decisions in the heat of the moment usually, but if Lebby manages to get to 6 then he should get another year.
That's a REALLY tall order though. I can't see any scenario where we beat Auburn or Ole Miss. Even Tenn Tech isn't a given at this point.

I'm afraid the only way we get to 6 wins is with Lebby out of the building, and a guy like Greg Knox pumping some energy into this team....
It was unacceptable.
Therefore, don't accept it.
He should have been gone yesterday.

I came to the game Saturday thinking we could still salvage the season - maybe win 3 more if he could get the offense moving. But after not being able to cross the 50 yard line for the entire first half against Vandy, I'm done.
1st half: 6 possessions, 4 punts, 1 turnover on downs, 1 interception, 66 yards

Agreed, just watching the attitude of the players, I would say he has lost the locker room. When you've lost 80%+ of the fans and the locker room, there is no coming back. If we do not make a move, I hate to see what NIL drops to and Selmon will not be able to give away tickets next year.
Well, IMO there is one argument, and it's about KT. You have to keep KT no matter what - similarly to how we had to keep Hubbard in hoops. You have to keep the face of your program, or it's national embarassment and the wheels are absolutely off entirely.
Can you imagine Dak transferring to Florida for his senior season? Jake Mangum playing for Auburn his final year? After all the hype earlier this season, that's what this would be and you just can't let it happen.
What we really need, to inject life or at least give the fanbase CPR and keep us breathing the rest of this season, is for KT to be the Dawg he says he is and sign a new NIL deal - like now, this week - and put all discussion of him leaving to bed. That way you aren't having to wait it out before deciding what to do about the coach. That way you can recruit to play with him. You can sell season tickets for next year. And you might get some people to stay on the ride for what's left of this roller coaster season, instead of jumping out of the car as some are tempted to do.
Against Vandy. At home.
The last time we lost to Vandy at home, I was learning to walk for the first time. Jesus!
I am wondering what DONE means? done with Lebby? I'm done with Lebby

Question:
”In the heat of the moment”? What moment? This has been going on for almost 3 seasons now. What more do you need to see? WANT to see? He’s proven that he can’t build a staff, can’t recruit, and definitely can’t coach.
If KT is the true Bulldog we hear he is, he may be ready for a change of HC himself. Another year of playing behind a Loadholt OL makes his job twice as hard and I can’t imagine he loves seeing his team fall apart like it has.
Agree, that's why we need him to go ahead and sign up. THEN we get to decide what to do about head coach.
If a coaching change isn't made, Keenum and Selmon have betrayed the fanbase and will have to live with the consequences of pathetic attendance and donations.
I've made this argument before, but I'd once again encourage State fans to ask themselves... after 3 years, what is one aspect of the football program that is going well? When the best that you can muster is that the WR position has been pretty decent, that should be more than enough to tell you this guy ain't getting it done
I am not one of you fire fast folk, but last weekend, I made a special effort to make the game. My family is stressed by a 98-year mom recovering from a broken hip. I went to the game for stress relief. Not so!! I got so mad that I left my responsibilities to watch a team that can’t run on Vandy or a quarterback that couldn’t hit his mama with a dinner roll at Thanksgiving. For the first time in my life, I walked out on the Bulldogs. It’s sad to say. I won’t bother my self to come back, and I am not renewing my season tickets for 27, Kamario or not.
I am/was done when I saw what pay for play/nil really came out to be paid players. If anyone thinks that this football program is in a good place I just don’t know what to say!
Done. Vandy pushed us around in Yr 3. What else needs to be said?
I've gone back and forth on this a few times. Fire him now or see how the rest of the season plays out. But seeing just how bad Saturday was, in year 3, it's hard to justify why he still has a job today. Seeing how badly Vandy DL pushed our OL around. How our defense couldn't get off the field and our offense couldn't stay on it. The complete lack of communication between QB and WR for most of the game. These things just shouldn't happen when you're playing Vandy in year 3. If he can't do any better than this by now, it's very unlikely he's suddenly going to get better.
95% want him fired by the end of this month. If Selmon and Keenum don't take note, the program is dead.
I assume the worst possible scenario will pan out - Selmon and Keenum aligned on Lebby returning this year only for us to get skull 17ed by OM 57-3 and the panic sets in and we are forced to fire/hire while everyone else is months ahead of us in their searches.
Fire him before he has a chance to accidentally win another game that make the powers that be decide to keep his worthless ***.
So, in the heat of the moment (Sat night, Sun morning), I found myself in the "We might as well let the season play out. Not sure I want to fire him mid-season, but I won't be upset if it happens."
After a few hours of driving from PA to home today, I had some time to reflect. I see no reason to keep him the rest of the season. If we're going to play this badly, we might as might as well do it with an interim coach.
