What do you know about Beat Bryant?
Di you know that multiple sportscasters including the very best of that day said that “Bear Bryant could beat you with his and turn around the next week and beat his with yours!“ So yes, even Bear Bryant would have 7 wins right now with this bunch. Fact is so would Gus Malzhan! And several other former head coaches who are simply coordinators or consultants now.
I'll give that about Fordham, but He won at an FCS school. Y'all keep saying its all coaching and not the money....except when it doesn't suite your argument. You get what you pay for.
I agree with this Arnett > Lebby! And it may not be close because of the relative IQ of each one.
The only FCS head coaches I've really advocated for are Brent Vigen (Montana State) and Tim Polasek (North Dakota State), neither of whom are in that Fordham scholarship situation (and have much higher winning percentages than Moorhead ever did at Fordham anyway).
I'm giving you very valid reasons not to fire him this year. That is not the same thing as a supporter. As of now I'm exactly what I said, on the fence. What happens in the Egg Bowl, this year, won't change that either even if it is a complete debacle. It depends on performance next year as to which way I go.
You do not know that. first of all, there are 12 fired coaches looking for jobs. I guy that has the fire to prove he can still coach would most definitely take out job if options were limited. Also guys who are ready to move up and are confident and not scared of the big bad SEC would be interested. The key is would they hear from our admin what they need to hear to take the job? Anybody that comes in and says I need 3 years to fix things in the NIL era, you don’t want anyway.
It literally is the same thing. You "support" bringing him back next year.
And you don't know that one would take it either. I've heard this same crap all my life. The only hire like y'all want we have ever made was JWS, and possibly Leach. Both had reasons that few schools wanted them.
Yes, I do. I could be off the fence and on your side on everything else and I would still support that. Fire him now and we get a Rick Ray type hire, again.
Lebby results so far are somehow worse than Rick Ray's.
That word "again" is one you should pay attention to. It might have more than one contextual meaning.

Guys come on. Arnett is a very very low IQ individual who apparently has other issues also. Lebby is bad and I don't see him improving but I don't think we'll find him being caught driving through a Wendy's drive thru naked .
"I agree that Lebby is the football version of Rick Ray, but I think we should keep him for 2026 anyway!" is a wild thing to post onto a message board.
Actually I know quite a bit about Bear Bryant. I attended State vs Bama about 20 times while he was coach. I have been to his house so not that it matters but I expect that I knew way more about him than most here including you. Breath deep, life is too short to make yourself miserable over football. I understand, I’ve been there many, many times.
But with the Bear, we’d have hope that he could recruit better line talent going forward. Given how the last round of recruiting went followed by his cluelessness on the sidelines, I have no such hope in Lebby

I'm not sure we are as much improved over last year as the other teams are just worse than expected. Even where we are improved in talent, the coaching is as bad or worse.
And Zach Arnett’s.
And Joe Moorhead’s.
And Sylvester Croom’s.
And Rockey Felker’s.
And Polk II’s.
And Chris Lemonis’.
And Ben Howland’s.
And Nicki McCray-Pinson’s.
And Sharon Fanning’s.
I said it before and I’ll say it again….he’s the worst MSU coach in my 40+ years on this planet…..in ANY sport. It’s not even remotely an exaggeration or hyperbole. And there isn’t even a close 2nd place.
