Any realistic chance Lebby is fired after the egg bowl
- Thread starter TPIPER36
- Start date
We soon forget how bad our football team was when he was hired. He has improved our team immensely but I question whether he’s smart enough to take the next step. Recent evidence says no.
If we want Lebby gone, he needs to beat Ole Miss and have some other school poach him for some reason.
IF you think he won’t succeed here are the reasons:
1. Money.
2.Money.
3. letting prospective coaches know we will give them more than 2 years.
Nobody expects MSU to win the egg bowl, but we can hope. Firing Lebby after losing to a playoff team with superior talent isn’t in our best interest.
To each his own, but when you're talking about a roster so bad last year that many don't even want to count it as year 1 for Lebby, I can't give credit to a coaching staff for doing nothing more than getting this team back to bare minimum 5-win season expectations. Poor history or not, we're an SEC program with a Top 30 budget that should NEVER be talking about anything lower than 4-5 win basement level expectations for a football season, and yet here we are
Does anything in our past head coach hiring practices lead you to believe that we would improve our prospects? We are not going to be able to hire a known commodity, at least not this year, too many better jobs available. Do we take a gamble on another basically unknown commodity or do you stick with Lebby and hope he figures it out? Firing him cost money further handicapping the process of improving. Keeping him alienates the fan base that ultimately costs money further handicapping the process. I don’t know what the answer is but I’m glad I’m not responsible for making the decision.
unfortunately not. not in this crazy cycle. this time next year, we will definitely be looking for a coach, though. Selmon is using the Lemonis approach. Wait until a couple of major donors make him make a move
Maybe if you sneak into his office and plant a few pounds of pot and call the police.
How many of that Top 30 are in the SEC? That national fact doesn't really mean much for us. You need to look at where our budget is in the SEC. THAT is our reality.
Letting prospective coaches know we won't give them time to build is why we find ourselves in this predicament.
We’ll find out. Cause it’s gonna be bad. But nope. He’s not getting fired. 
There is no such thing as "building" anymore. A coach can either procure a roster in the offseason with the portal using the amount of money provided by our boosters, or he can't.
Oh no, it’s all Mike Leach’s fault Lebby can’t win a game, the morons have established this fact*
It happened to Croom. I always heard that he was set to come back until 45-0.
Afraid we are going to be a national laughing stock for the country to see Friday. Ole Miss will fill up the stands and mock us for 3.5 hours on the field and in the stadium. Can't wait. But don't worry, Keenum will give his goofy speech to our players, motivating exactly nobody, in between checking soybean and corn futures.
It doesn’t matter how bad the football team was when he was hired. In case you haven’t heard, the rules have changed.
I don't think he'll survive if we take another a$$ pounding. It'll be bad enough if it's close, but I think being totally unprepared (which is what I'm expecting) will be a fireable offense. At the very least a couple or eight assistants. But would Lebby be proactive enough to even do that?
Yeah, if we get a 45-0 beating and they prance around rubbing our nose in it.... people will lose their temper and emotional decisions may be made.
With all that said, we will play them close. Just as we have every home game this year. I think the more likely scenario is we play them close. The coaching carousel gets stupid crazy and Lebby takes a "lateral" job with a target in town.

The budget is sufficient to attract someone more qualified than an unproven OC.
Are you ******* kidding me? There aren’t many coaches who would turn down $4.25MM/year with a $10MM buyout. Some of you people think its still 1985.

I swear to god sometimes I think I made a terrible fandom choice choosing MSU over LSU when I did - and at the time outside of baseball, state was the better athletic program

And yet year in and year out, we know that we can bank on 2-3 SEC programs being complete dumpster fires due to some toxic mix of incompetent administration and trigger happy boosters. The only questions is which 2-3 it will be amongst the group of Auburn, Ark, SCar, UT, etc
I didn't say anything about winning 10 games. I said that our floor should consistently be 4-5 wins, and I'm not going to celebrate any MSU coaching staff for managing to get to that level
