9-3 at Houston. Remind me again why we were too good to go after him?

Just colossal, incredible aggressive stupidity on our part.
I mean I know he left Tulane to go to Houston for family but he was ripe for picking after Mullen left
Fritz is pretty good, I’m not sure he’s in Arnett or Lebbys league though
Correct me if I’m wrong, but we did go after him. Lebby was our third or fourth choice. We went after Chadwell too.
I think we contacted him. Not sure what happened. Sumrall was who I wanted. Think he turned us down.
Well, it's not that we are too good to go after him, it's that we aren't looking for a new coach right now. Simple as that.
No we didn’t. And Lebby was always at the top of Selmons list. Lazy hire. Awful hire. Willie Fritz would have been a great hire and fit here at State based on his entire resume.
Willie Fritz is such a great coach that he can make Kevin Barbay look like a good OC
Yeah it thought so too. But some people think we can get a quality head coach after firing our 3rd coach with two seasons or less in the past 8 seasons. This
sandwich State fans have to eat has a lot of chefs, but we’re stuck with it.I wouldn’t cry if Lebby gets fired, but the pickings would be mighty slim for someone willing to take over.
Uhhh…..he fired Barbay after last season.
This is a well perpetrated myth out there, probably orchestrated by Jimmy Sexton to create this air of scarcity and drive prices up.
There are a ton of good coaches out there. Key is finding the right fit for your program, and timing/experience depending on what the program is able to offer them.
Not only that, he stripped Barbrady of playcalling duties about halfway thru the season.
Remember when we beat South east Louisiana and the peanut gallery was declaring Barbrady the next Vince Lombardi. We followed that game up with seven yards of total offense in the first half against LSU.
Don't think candle leaves state of Ohio at this point. Chesney atJmu is iffy considering cig made that program what it is.
Either would be a really good hire compared to what we have currently. Chesney is being mentioned for the PSU job, 130-51, hes exactly the kind of coach this program should target. no training wheels.
Came here thinking y’all were talking about me**
He’s an offensive analyst at Kentucky. The team with the worst offense in the SEC.
It must be the only career in which the employee wouldn’t accept another job for double their salary per year.
Cignetti also took all of his players with him. I would take Chesney in a heartbeat.
We could have hired him when we hired Arnett. We’re not hiring him away from Houston.
At that time, though, he only had the one great year at Tulane and was 2-10 the season prior, it’s not like he was a can’t-miss hire.
You’re neglecting the fact that he has over 200 wins as a head football coach and had literally worked his way up from juco to DII to Small D-1 to Tulane and BEAT USC with a roster that was less talented from every metric in a NY6 bowl.
Fritz had won at every level as a head coach.
people are failing to understand how important it is to hire coach who has experience running a program. We have paid for ALL of Lebbys lessons the hard way.
You clowns will punch holes in anything, no matter if all the logic is against you.
Not to mention the fact that when you hire him in 2023, he was 63 and you can bank on about 5-7 good years. Maybe 10. Because he’s not going anywhere, like Fritz now and Cignetti.
