It came down to this for the decision makers. We had money to do 2 of the following 3 things.

(1) Bring K1 back
(2) Build a remaining roster beyond the QB
(3) Buy out Lebby and fund the acquisition of a new coaching staff

There wasn't funds for all 3. It's been an awful 3 years. But we sure did look good in September. If Orgeron can do it with Burrrow and Chizik can do it with Cam, then maybe Lebby can do it with K1. Here's to a special 2027. Let's all get on board and try to have a year we'll never forget.

I assume we just spent everything we have to keep KT. Maybe KT can just tell Lebby to stay home next year and he will coach too.
You obviously weren’t paying attention when Jones, Simmons, and Dak said they would contribute whatever it took to keep KT1. Should still be plenty of money in the coffers to bring in a great supporting cast.

The question is whether or not Lebby can recruit them and coach them up.

The money was always going to be there to keep him when those guys stepped up. And huge thanks to them. They are great Bulldogs. Your last question is a very very big question. He’s going to have to have a top-5 portal class and replace several assistants with quality coaches for us to be a playoff team. And for God’s sake sign a decent backup QB.

Reading other board, they all have butt hurt that Miss State would pay that much for one player. They all act like they know how much Collective and NIL money is at State. Hell we don't know how much we have. They assume too much.

I’m all in. We’ve made the decision and now it’s time to move forward. Putting all the chips on for 2027.

Maybe Lebby’s *** will actually go meet with the fans some.
This is the only sane stance. We dump all we can into 2027 and let the chips fall where they may. It’s worth the gamble.

What a cluster!

This doesn’t not excite me. Lebby sucks .. this is clear….

and I’m very certain that Kamario can not play a full season. So what does this buys us.. 6 more games at best and then we are stuck with playing tweedle dee at QB for the meat of the SEC season going 0-fer in October/November next year.

Well there you have it, I guess Lebby gets another year. Going to get real awkward if he loses to Tenn Tech, we he is very capable of doing.
I wouldn’t give up on lebby gone yet. Even though Kamario said he looks forward to playing for him next year. This just became a much more interesting situation.

It feels like half in. There were some very informative polls on this board over the last week. To me, all in would be keeping KT and addressing the elephant in the room.

So you would prefer we let KT go, fire Lebby, and start over from scratch? Just wondering what your plan is.

Burrow and Cam had great talent around them. Burrow had 3 dymanite receivers to run under whatever he threw deep.

Fire Lebby, bring in a competent staff, and build a solid team focused on OL and DL.
I love these posters who just vomit something up like it's easily done. You want to let a generational QB walk, wipe the staff clean (which also means most of the talent we have right now) and then just bring in a competent staff, like it's going to Target and getting it.

Is Terzaghi the Swahili word for naive?

If true, you would have to assume it's Chris Jones, Jeffrey Simmons, Dak, or another former player like that.
I believe it’s a corporation that makes loads of money off of him being at Mississippi state. I recently got into the card trading hobby and KT was the number one chase for the first half of the season. Compare that to a typical Mississippi state team, that’s a massive difference in revenue for a company like Topps. Now I’m not sure that it’s Topps but I’m betting it has nothing to do with Lebby and is indeed a corporate donor.

If it is a scenario like the one I mentioned above, then their motivation isn’t us winning. It’s just Kamario being on the team. All of this is just my opinion based on observations.

Dude you just do it. Yes all this is hard. We keep using the easy button.

you mean wipe the talent that is the worst SEC team right now.. oh no what will we do.

Explain this to me.. we just put all our eggs in a basket for player that has yet to finish season and a coach who can’t coach.. and you say it is too hard to make a change. Shee-itt. It’s like Cindy Hyde smith telling folks to choose another protein.

Stupid is stupid..

One positive from this is that with MSU having the #1 paid QB in the country, we will offset the narrative that we cannot pay. Whether we can pay for a whole team is TBD, but given that NIL is a thing, I'm looking for any positives to spending this amount of money on a single player.

We are too easy to please as a fanbase and our administration knows it.
