Um, what? “Looks like he is on his way out to UNLV. PR risk by Lebby.”
So you’re creating spin for clicks?
Bumphis - I heard this a few weeks ago but was asked to keep it quiet...
- Thread starter dawgstudent
- Start date

It's a PR risk for Lebby to fire Bumphis because...
1. He is an alum
2. It's our most successful position group (now that could be because of Lebby or it could be because of Bumphis)
That's what I was meaning. I do think he was let go but I didn't want to say that about a former player. Didn't feel it was my place.

What I have learned from this thread.
Bumphis is leaving...
- He chose to leave.
- He was fired and sad to leave.
- He didnt recruit the successful WRs.
- He coached WRs well.
- He didnt have much impact on WRs.
- He took a lateral position.
- He took a downgraded position.
Well ok then,

No offense to Bump or his friends on this board, but before Lebby got here I thought he should've been fired. If he wasn't a beloved former player, no one would be that upset.
I think I'd be pretty upset that with this staff, the one coach you decided to fire was the coach of the most successful position group on the team.
Well, yea, but by that standard Lebby should clean house. Why start with Bump is my issue. RB and WR is really the most/only producing positions we’ve had under Lebby. Hope he upgrades every spot he can, but so far I’m not impressed.
No one has pooped on the performance of our receivers. We crap on the o-line, run game, and decision making (see throwing an INT while in range for game-winning FG again UF, or running up the middle with our smaller QB repeatedly against Missouri).
If Lebby did recruit all of our good receivers and if Lebby thinks he can hire a better coach I'm all for it. Im not sure why anybody would not be. I hope we can get the best coaches available regardless of where they went to college. Who did Bump put in the NFL ?? I want Miss State to win football games, not necessarily be a destination for run of the mill coaches who use to play here
Didn't he start with Hutzler?
And maybe Bump is just the first one to have a replacement job lined up. Could be some of the other assistants are on the way out also and just don't have a landing spot to announce.
Definitely agree that if you look at the performance of the receivers, that should be the safest position coach. But who knows how much of that is Bump. That said, definitely a risk to fire the coach over the one bright spot. Don't guess it matters much because he will either sink or swim next year based on record. But it will make him look that much worse if the WRs regress.
The truth is most of us have no idea how good or bad a coach really is at his job beyond what we can see by the product on the field. DT was lauded when he had NFL players, then suddenly was terrible when he didn't.
Talent makes an avg. coach look great and total lack of talent can make even a a really good coach look bad.

So is the Wendy's story actually confirmed? Finally googled against my better judgment and I'm getting message board rumors.
You spun Bumphis being fired into he was leaving voluntarily for a G5 program because “you didn’t think it was your place to report the truth of what happened because Bump is an alum.” That is odd
I'm still confused of where I said he was leaving voluntarily. I'll let you have the last word on it.
Probably a hot and unpopular take, but his position group wasn't that well coached, and they didn't develop under him. None of them learned how to block. Lebby brought in Thompson, Ant, and Coleman, and those three were already developed. Bump had a lot of recruiting misses too. Look at who he recruited and how they ended up. Also missed on Cunningham last year and Darby this year. Yes, he's alumni, but gotta take off the maroon glasses. We need upgrade at the development level and need a closer in recruiting at that position group.
If you don’t think that’s what you implied, then you should read the replies to this thread you created. You’re in for a surprise
That's all it is. A bunch of online trolls going "trust me bro, i know a guy who said it's true." Most likely story as to him leaving UNLV so soon is that he was tired and needed a break after the hellscape that was his head coaching time.
He didn’t want to leave. He was told to leave.
I have no opinion on this subject because I don't know anything about why he is leaving or if he is a solid coach.
And I won't create an unwarranted opinion because I'm trying to keep from doing other things I should be doing today.

Position coaches come and go. If he wasn't a popular ex player don't know if it would attract that much attention.
There is a story on another site that has more info. Free story. Says " Bumphis was let go" so that question is answered right there. Read it
Now list all the croots bump brought in along with all the receivers in ms that he didn't. I'll hang up and listen.
Are you nuts? That's been one of our most improved player groups. Don't see half the drops we used to and these receivers actually block. They also can catch the deep ball. We had very few receivers under previous coaches that could do that
“The best position group”.
But is it?
It’s Thompson and Evans and no one else.

The same guy coached the receivers in the previous offense. The scheme is the change and reason we have good receivers. Wide receiver coaches are hired to recruit.
He didn't coach every year under leach though. Those guys couldn't block for **** before bump got there. Reason none of those damn wide receiver screens leach ran ever sprang anyone.
Y'all need to watch the tape and not the ball. Watch the improvement in moves for receivers as well as blocking. Lot more to bring receivers than catching the ball which I would say our drops significantly decreased under bump as well
That's what I was looking at when it was posted that Mosely was transferring out. We are going to be returning a very green group next year so unless we land a stud or two in the portal I expect that position to take a fairly large step back.
The wide receiver coach at SEC programs is hired to recruit. Bump did not get it done with in state products and only got the good ones we did get because Lebby held his hand. No one gets hired to improve WR blocking in this league. It’s just not how things work. Sorry.
