Hold on now. I can assure you the morons on this thread replying can make up whatever the 17 they want to.
Bumphis - I heard this a few weeks ago but was asked to keep it quiet...
- Thread starter dawgstudent
- Start date
All the water toters have sung Bump’s praises…..until now. Rosey has pumped him for years. If he comes out tomorrow and totes water…….well, we have our answer.
This stuff is a problem.

On some of the other boards the claim is Bumphis was leaking info to boosters and others like KT taking over for the Egg Bowl, etc., and Lebby got tired of it. Don't know if there is any truth to it.
Yes a few posters up
i could easily say that's the scheme and Shapen. Lebby on the headset saying just go deep to Thompson or short to Evans
Glad we got a coach who isnt scared to fire people not doing their jobs, It's refreshing!
Get off Lebby for going to another coach, when most of you are all over his arce.
I think Lebby knows the score and what he wants, than ANY of you guys.
It's his neck.

Lots of speculation in this thread. I'll just say that bump is a heck of a coach. Yes, he was fired, but it wasn't because he was a poor coach. All this talk going around discounting Bunp's coaching is narrative framing BS. At the end of the day bump wasn't a yes man… And he wasn't afraid to speak his mind, and that's not what Lebby wants. This is why shlt coaches like Loadholt and Bell keep jobs.
bump will be back here one day. Perhaps as soon as next year after we move on from the idiot we've got coaching this team currently.

Bumphis fired. Loadholt still has a job. Says a lot about this coach.
He gave Bump two years before cutting him
So um when does he fire himself as offensive coordinator in the 4th qtr
Waaaahh....I demand coaching changes. Hey wait...no...not like that...hahaha. Pure gold Jerry. Pure gold
"Lebby needs to clean house and get new assistants!" "Oh wait, not that guy, he's a former player so he’s a sacred cow on the staff.”
We ran 13 jet-sweep attempts for 50 net yards (3.8 avg), 1 TD.
This is why Bumphis was fired. Jett Sweep Lebby wants to put some respect back on his name.

Thanks for the info Mrs Bumphis
You're welcome, shltforbrains.
How hard is this. He who controls the checkbook, controls who we sign from the portal. Slick lying, baby kissing, praising grandma's sweet potato pie doesn't matter in recruiting anymore. Now if Bump carried the checkbook, he should shoulder the blame. Also in many cases, the position coach isn't the lead recruiter of a recruit just because he plays his coaching position.
We did not lose in state recruits because of money. We lost them because Bump did not get the job done. This year or last year. It was the sole reason he was hired.
The amount of people who pretend to be connected is wild.
It ain’t really all that hard to see the forest through the trees here. You’d think that experience as a State fan (and shlt, direct results from the exact people coaching) would teach people something over the years. I’m almost convinced that some enjoy pulling the wool over their own eyes, for various reasons. Some are just Genespage sheep, some maybe have a stake in Starkville and want to portray positivity no matter what, some just overly dumb.
We don’t even need a reset here. Our football culture is so idiotic, a reset just starts over the whole trend. We need an FU president and an FU AD, that don’t GAF about our fans, Ole Miss or how we are perceived nationally, to put things in motion in a way that it will last. But the chance of those things happening at the same time are non existent.
We almost had that once, with Keenum when he was new and Byrne, and look what happened. Now we have m17ers actively trying to undo things they put in place. If it wasn’t for this miracle hire of Oak I’d have given up on this deal.

Are they going other places for free? You mean if we had a smooth talking WR coach we could have easily landed Tristin Keys?
Bump should have coached himself up when he was with the Edmonton Eskimos for those few months. I wish him luck in the other Vegas. I dont pretend to know more about coaching talent and the inside info than the head coach with 20+ years coaching experience.
Just because they didn’t go somewhere else for free doesn’t mean they made their decision based on money. We had very competitive offers to all of the in state receivers and none of them came here. That falls on the recruiting coach. When the money is equal everything else still comes back to recruiting and relationships. He didn’t do his job and the ones he did land were due to Lebby holding his hand.
recruits occasionally, but rarely, come to schools because of position coaches. It's about the types of offense/defense, whether they will get a chance to play, and ultimately, money matters too. A good relationship with a position coach is gravy and could matter when everything else is equal.
Position coaches shouldn't get too much credit for recruits we get or too much blame for recruits we don't get. You have to have something to sell and you need a head coach that is a closer.
All of those things are factors, but the fact is we have a wide receiver friendly offense and it’s one of the few positions that should be easy to sell under this staff and it was not easy. At all. It’s the one position group that a good position coach recruiter would be able to close. I understand defensive coaches struggling to recruit because no one wanted to trust their career with Hutzler’s ***, but receivers produce in this offense and everyone knows it and he was missing layups. All of this still falls on Lebby, ultimately, because he is the head coach.
