TBH the SEC was pretty darn weak during that time.
Next year could be a record setting year for Low IQ Libby…he could be the first coach to go 0-9 in the SEC.
Surely a three year record of 1-24 in the sec would get him fired….
Unfortunately you are absolutely correct. It’s like we have to field a team to simply stay in the SEC. And that’s the only reason. But we pay close to the same to watch it as other people do that actually enjoy watching it. We just watch a clinic of what not to do.
6 years ago, a bunch of posters said there was no way we would poach a sitting P5 head football coach.
The point still remains….I have zero confidence in Selmon or Keenum making a football hire.
Because it's an example of people on a message board confidently saying something that turned out to be wrong.
Derek Mason did it at Vandy in 2020, but decent shot for Lebby to be second to do it
There are good G5 coaches who could be hired and there are also good smart Coordinators who could be hired, both categories would be clear upgrades over Lebby
The question isn’t could they make a good hire. The question is could they make a better hire than Lebby. It would be hard not to. No matter though, we’re going to run it back next year with Lebby & probably almost all assistants, if not all of them. I hope it turns out a lot better than I think it will.
When it is the ONLY sport your entire Administration is serious about while we have some butt-hurt douchebags who got cut from their T-ball team so they hate baseball, it is proof that State CAN hire Top 3 Coach even if we can’t hire a Top 100 football coach or a Top 50 basketball coach.
Yessir was the covid all sec game season
Your reading comprehension sucks. I’m not saying there aren’t. All I’m saying is that I have zero confidence in a hiring process for football. Their hand will be forced when he goes 3-9 next year and we will probably see another spectacularly bad hire.
I responded to your second paragraph. There are plenty of Coordinators who would be upgrades over Lebby.
True, but for $3 - $4 million a year I think our ROI for Lebby's 3rd year should be better than 23 out of 24 2026 recruits being 3 stars with the lone 4 star not even a consensus 4 star. You aren't going to win many games in the tough SEC with that type of tract record.
No because baseball doesn’t matter. The reason our athletic program sucks is that we’ve majored on a minor. Every dollar should be put toward improving football. All energy and effort should be directed there. That won’t happen, so we’ll be in CUSA sooner or later. We’re going to Oregon State ourselves because our fanbase says, “wait til baseball season.”
Lets go back way farther. 2003 lets hope and pray The Kang doesn't retire. Post 38-0
If he wins his next four SEC games, he definitely deserves to be back.***
You would think that, but with our administration, you just don't know.
Any coach that left creating those openings would be better than what we have now. I strongly disagree with that opinion. There are far more qualified coaches in America than there are openings in the P4.
