Prepare to be disappointed, he’s not firing Lebby. His boy.
I wouldn't be so sure. 9 days ago, no one had any reason to think Lebby's seat was even warm. It sucked that we blew the game to Tennessee, but that one wasn't as squarely on Lebby as the most recent 2.

As recently as 2 days ago, he still generally had support. It wasn't until he lost back to back games solely due to his own incompetence that any inkling of momentum toward a change got going. If we continue losing, especially if it's because the players were good enough to win but we Lebbyed it up, we may suddenly see a clear path to making a change. Lebby desperately needs a win this Saturday to lock down his job for 2026, although at this rate, even if he does get that win and does come back next year, it's hard to see a world where we don't end up firing him at some point in the 2020s.

It would be worse than Polk2
I don’t know what could be worse than last night and staring down barrel of 0-16.

Mullen would come back.

Will Keenum let bygones be bygones? Or, will we go hire another unproven HC and be in the same position 3 years from now. Because we damn sure aren’t making a splash of a hire with all the openings on the horizon in the country.

He’s nearing the end of year 2 & we’ve paid him neatly $8,000,000 so far. How long should we wait for him to learn how to manage a game?
And why should we have to wait at for a guy who has been around football all his life to learn clock management? It’s not that difficult. The only road block is Lebby doesn’t realize he is doing it wrong.

Your football program is a recovering disaster zone with very expensive repairs. And the contractor hired to fix the mess keeps making elementary mistakes and generally 17ing up consistently.

Meanwhile, your neighbor arch rival program is clicking on all cylinders and is in the conversation for the CFP … aGAIN.

woof. Glad I’m not Keenum/Selmon.

Think I’ll concentrate on our mediocre basketball program that has flashes of success (at least before March madness starts), and a baseball program that appears to be poised for marked success.
They won't have any decision to make this year. Next year....maybe.

Lebby is getting another year but if he doesn't clean up his coaching mistakes next season then Selmon needs to have a serious discussion with the power that Be's about raising the buyout. If Lebby going to pan out it will be next year. I hope Selmon has learn how to hire. He went in for baseball so maybe he go all in for football.

I am not down on Selmon. I do think Lebby was a bad hire. I also think Selmon is not stupid and will learn from mistakes.
Well we have shown improvement and compete in almost every game and could or should have won but we didn't. Let's rewind though.
Arnett goes 4-8 after swapping crap up and doesn't it make it full season. Should hscd never been hired to start with. Insert Lebby. Big roster change and brings in a bunch of questionable coaches. Goes 2-10. No wins sec. He drops the bar but complains no money for talent although we have enough talent to beat the likes of Toledo but we get crushed. Move to off season doesn't change our many coaches from 2-10 but gets the nil. We turnover the roster again supposedly upgrading most spots with the qb and oline still questionable. Added a few defensive snylist with experience. So now we are 4-4 could be 7-1 we smarter coaching and with questionable dumb asss no discipline play from players. And we are still winless in conference. Any coach who goes two seasons and doesn't win a conference game does not deserve a year three. He's got 4 more games to try to show real Impricenrnf and show that he can actually win. He gets one sec win which is a low bar then he gets year 3 other than that sorry. You get paid to win not to just play the game, you got the players so what's the excuse now?

What sucks is that had we beaten Flarrda and Tejas, we probably would have been guaranteed to offload Selmon to Oklahoma. We win three times.

But we’re Miss Stake, and we lose 3 times.
And just why do we need to "offload" Selmon? Seems he done the things fans have asked for and brought in much needed $.

What really sucks beat Tenn, TX and Florida we are 7-1 in the conversation.
I agree, and that is really unfathomable considering the last few years. And we are competing with what most believe to be way less talented players, me included. And this team is competing week after week. Hutzler seems to be getting his feet under him and d is playing far better than anyone expected BEFORE the year started.
