Lebbys not the only coach that runs this variation of the wide choice or for that matter an offense that could get Taylor in the Heisman discussion in 27 . Another piece is if your return Lebby, what has he shown you that make you believe that he can shore up the protection on the OL. In three years he hasn’t. On the play K1 was injured against Mizz had he given the ba to fluff he wouldn’t be hurt. Had we blocked the DL, he wouldn’t be hurt.
I never thought I’d see MSU fans defend a coach who in all probability will finish year three with 12/13 wins, while our rival continue to ascend with their 2nd coach

The coaching account isn’t the same as NIL pool. So that shouldn’t be an issue

We don't even need a coach that runs an offense similar to Lebby's at all. If you have K1, the type of receivers we have, a serviceable RB and some SEC caliber linemen, you are going to score points at a good clip. Lebby hasn't done anything unique to get fast receivers into 1 on 1 situations with corners. His hurry up style may have gotten defenses on their heels a bit, but that's not even unique to Lebby. Being unable to score when he's inside the 15 also is not unique to Lebby, but its a trait I find undesirable.

I don't take issue with someone changing their opinion. What makes folks less likely to give you a pass is your ability to be a giant douche about your initial opinion, and calling anyone out that dares think differently.

I think 77 fell into the trap I used to when I was younger and hadn’t suffered so much as a State fan. Believing the August hype and that somehow we had found all the 3* hidden diamonds everyone else missed.

I know I'm in the vast minority here, but I think the better play is to not extend him this year, so his buyout decreases next year. Throw everything at next year. Bring in some better O-Lineman, bring in as much talent and depth as we can. Spend the money on players this offseason, instead of yet another buy out just to have another reset that likely results in us doing the same thing again 3 years from now. The offense works with KT and Lebby. We beat 3 quality teams in our first 4 games when we were healthy. Next year, the offense brings back 9 starters, if we can keep them all. We need a stud WR (this staff has a track record of being able to do that), a quality back-up QB, a new LT, and some OL depth. Break the bank, go all in. The offense will score next year, as long as KT stays healthy. Maybe he won't. But him learning a new system going into his last year in college is not a good idea. Heck, he may leave. I know a lot of you think that may not be a bad thing because he hasn't stayed healthy, but he's the best QB we've ever had, and ever will have. Don't throw the baby out with the bath water. It's a gamble, because he may just be injury prone. But it's a better bet than starting over. We can always start over after next year. There is no coach out there that will come make us a contender next year. Bringing this offense back next year gives us a puncher's chance. That's better than 95% of seasons at MSU. Roll the dice, go for broke. it's not like one more 3 win season will matter to our history if we roll snake eyes.

I would either support this or just start from scratch because we will be cutting our legs off at the kneecap if we get a new coach right now.

I hope we don't extend him under any circumstances.
