The invisible man can recruit difference makers just as much as Bump did. He was good for feeding portal talent from MSU to the G5 to not produce there either.

If Lenny can't coach up the type high school players we've been signing, then he needs go be employed somewhere not named Mississippi State.
ST17U.. the HS WRs we been signing haven’t contributed here or anywhere else other than Craver and he was an easy replace.
I’ll say it again. Either be part of the solution or GT17O. Everyone on here is tired of your negative BS especially from someone who is against everything that that MSU is trying to do

Please by all means tell us what’s stupid this athletic department has done. And don’t list Lebby. Bring it Goat17er
You bring up a good point. Being a college athletic administrator doesn’t take a lot of intellect or creativity. For most people the expectation is to not do something stupid, which in most businesses is a very low bar. But in college athletics, it is the norm.

List the items in which this new AD has failed so far. Always good to hear from a Kentucky fan

Well hiring Lebby is proving to be a stupid hire. I dnk you can ignore that.

People want to believe just because of our SEC membership, any G5 coach will take a job here. However we are learning that just isn't the case even for assistant coaches.

Selmon should have hired Odom, an experienced HC with A staff.

We need a WR coach by the time the portal opens. However, I don't understand why we are waiting on firing the defensive staff. Is it the bowl thing? I would rather have GA's/analysts coaching the DL and DBs than the current guys. The new coaches need to be in place for portal as well. They need to be already working on this seasons portal class. Instead, *if we fire them*, the new guys will be coming in *after* the portal is open.

Once again, Lebby makes stupid decisions that puts the football program behind the 8 ball.

Odom is awful. He won’t do better than Lebby in year 2 and was below average at mizzou

You mean the coach that was fired at Missouri?

can you imagine how much this board would have lost it?

Odom has a career record of 46-43, which includes a sterling 2-10 record at Purdue this season. He was 25-25 at Missouri and 13-19 in SEC games. I don't know why several people on this board think we should've hired him. He's not that good.

First of all, his name is mentioned because it came down to he and Lebby. so those were the options. Unless you count Judge (who would have been better too) that we told no thanks.

I would take Odoms HC record over Lenny's today. Which y'all conveniently left off his most recent record of 19-8 at UNLV. Not to mention Odom would have brought his own DC and WR etc etc.

As for what he did at Purdue.... he matched Lebbys first year at State.... Purdue which has less resources.

Regardless of all that, you have a man with far more experience than Lebby and the genius ad makes a cute hire. A DC minded coach fits Mississippi State..... not some finesse bS HC.

I don’t recall Odom ever being a serious candidate.

I could be wrong but you nor I know who the serious candidates were no matter what you think.

I don’t know about you but 13-19 in SEC games is looking pretty dang good to me right now (1-15).
