so that we don't hamstring his ability to bring in coordinators.
Unpopular Opinion, Lebby should be at least guaranteed through '27
- Thread starter DawgNsuds
- Start date
It’s gonna be a NO for me Dawg! But thanks for auditioning.
I don’t hate it. He’s learning, outside of some bonehead decisions and late game heartbreakers this team was a massive step up from last year. KT’s on board, and we’re not seeing a mass exodus to the Portal, yet. Might as well let it ride until a sure-thing HC crops up.
Just offer the coordinator a 3 year contract. Probably our only option.
I think this is it. I don't think the head coach being guaranteed one or two years is going to move the needle with them nearly as much as their own contract. If we extend Lebby through 27, we're basically telling coordinators it will be slightly more expensive to us to fire them after one year, but that money will go to LEbby. Seems like it would be much more meaningful to th em to just have more guaranteed money.
We should contract him through 2035 so we can have success through continuity like Kermit Davis at MTSU
I think just offering him tenure is the way to go
No.
If Lebby doesn’t show substantial improvement next year, he’s got to be gone. It’s
or get off the 
.
If we have to overpay and/or overpromise for a DC, so be it, but if you can’t do it in 3 years there’s no way you’re getting a 4th. This isn’t 2006 anymore.

Nope. He has to win next year. He should have hired coordinators last year.
Best I can tell, he isn't hiring coordinators this year...
He has to shake some things up. Last three game the defense looked just terrible.
Just heard Hadad say "confidently" we would have a new DC next week
Oh yeah, we won our first conference game since Nov of '23 against a team that had already fired their coach because he couldn't beat anybody
If he will actually get out of the friend zone and go after some real coaches … **** yeah, I’ll give you 2027. Gonna need 3.5 SEC wins though in return though.
We should increase his buyout to $54 million as well just to show others we are serious.*********
I forgot this is the place where everything is picked over and over and over and over and over....
Let me rephrase it for you then, we won 1 (one) more conference game this season than we did last season. So yes, you and I can agree with what you said, "we did improve a bit"
