Sounds like our offense is total schitt again. Sounds like the defense dominated the scrimmage causing turnovers and negative plays. OR, is the defense awesome ?? Top ten type ? Nah...who am I kidding ?
If you can’t see the defense is better, you’re blind.***I've heard this story somewhere before......

The oline looked atrocious in the Spring game. Afterwards, the staff went out and got 3 or 4 more guys from the portal. Basically half of the starting olinemen weren't here in the Spring. I'm expecting them to look pretty sloppy the first part of the season. It's one of the big reasons I don't give us much of a shot at beating Arizona State.See my post from a couple weeks ago. Leb said the offensive line needs to “come together in a hurry.” Thats all you need to know
Hard to believe that this game has so much riding on it.There is no report from practice or scrimmages that is any way going to get my hopes up about either side of the ball. What I see from the USM game will determine how busy my Saturdays will be moving forward
If we know anything after the USM game it will be very bad news. We'll know more after the Arizona St. game.Scrimmages are sister kissing sessions.
We will know more after the USM game. Until then we will hear what they want us to hear.
Exactly. Best case, this OL will come together by the end of September. Our early portal OL recruiting was a disaster.The oline looked atrocious in the Spring game.

Lebby can’t figure out the OL and can’t figure out the defense. Running it back with a QB who we all know can’t stay healthy.If Lebby and Loadholt can't figure out the OL (who to play, and where) that is the end of the road with this staff.
Both those guys played OL, one of them on the professional level.
Being substandard on that position group would be unforgivable, IMO.
I’m bookmarking this one. Let me guess, you think we should hire Gruden?Lebby can’t figure out the OL and can’t figure out the defense. Running it back with a QB who we all know can’t stay healthy.
It’s almost like we hired a guy who has no idea what he’s doing.
Ol' Jimbo wants to get back into coaching and he's already got fat pockets.I’m bookmarking this one. Let me guess, you think we should hire Gruden?
Ha no, I don’t think I’d advocate for Gruden. I think I’d prefer someone who’s been a college head coach in the NIL era.I’m bookmarking this one. Let me guess, you think we should hire Gruden?
I started to laugh, then realized this might actually be a decent option for both us and him if/when we're looking for a new coach.Ol' Jimbo wants to get back into coaching and he's already got fat pockets.
Exactly. aTm has already paid his salary and then some. State could probably get him for next to nothing even though you'd probably want to keep it in the Mike Leach price range to not seem offensive, but I could see something like that playing out for sure.I started to laugh, then realized this might actually be a decent option for both us and him if/when we're looking for a new coach.
And this is about as good a job as he's likely to get these days.Exactly. aTm has already paid his salary and then some.

The only problem with this is that he's a proven terrible coach.And this is about as good a job as he's likely to get these days.
He's a proven mediocre coach. Which would be a big upgrade over what we have now.The only problem with this is that he's a proven terrible coach.
Some will say "yeah, but boy can he recruit!!!" Can he? He's been at LSU, FSU, and A&M, where money and buying players are no objects. I have my doubts as to whether that will translate at Bracky U.
Would very much be on brand for MState. Cycling between young, untested assistant and old retread looking for a golden parachute.I started to laugh, then realized this might actually be a decent option for both us and him if/when we're looking for a new coach.

If it makes you feel any better, I'm certainly not advocating for him. I didn't want you to think I was.touche'
Yeah, he wouldn't be my first choice either. But he'd be on the list.If it makes you feel any better, I'm certainly not advocating for him. I didn't want you to think I was.
A very wise man once said: "You can't make chicken salad out of chicken do-do." OR "You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear." I'm afraid we may have a bunch of sow's ears that are brown and don't smell good . . . . .If Lebby and Loadholt can't figure out the OL (who to play, and where) that is the end of the road with this staff.

I’d be scared to death of a guy who can’t win with a roster full of four and five star players and a brinks truck. He’d probably go 0-12 hereThe only problem with this is that he's a proven terrible coach.

Would we really want a head coach named Jimbo?He's a proven mediocre coach. Which would be a big upgrade over what we have now.
I'm thinking Winchester Emerson Thurston III would be a better name for a State Coach. We could call him Bubba!Would we really want a head coach named Jimbo?
