Well let’s talk about the truth. How this season has been frustrating as 17 but our coach seems to be pretty good.
I agree with this. Our starters are pretty close. Still less talent when you factor in o line and pass blocking
Those dudes bold up the last two defensive series Saturday. They went on the field determined and hell bent for leather.
4th down wasn’t a good call but does that make Kiffin a bad coach? Bc he does it all the time.
Agree, but Lebby is twice the coach Croom was. And Croom coached Barry Sanders AND Jerious Norwood AND Anthony Dixon. He also coached when the SEC was at a decades low point. Alabama was awful.
You are an absolute moron. I mean how do you get dressed everyday?
Is he? Or did our alumni just buy him enough players along with an older group of returnees? Croom went 7-5 too, even the bad ones usually have an 'up' year.
Our OL (including current staters) is hot garbage. Our run defense didn’t seem much better this weekend.
Our top 22 can't go a full sixty minute. If we can't get us a good strength and conditioning coach, FIRE Lebby!
All 4th downs aren’t equal. It’s not just down, distance, and what yard line you are on. But it’s the score. And more than that it’s assessing game flow and momentum. Lebby’s decision was Ed Orgeron Egg Bowl level dumb. You can use whatever analytic tool you want to justify Orgeron’s call. But everybody with football sense knew game-flow there dictate you punt.
The goalpost moving you’re doing is very impressive. Before the season you said you’d quit posting for six months if we won five games. Now that we have, this year is an “up” year and Lebby still needs next year to prove himself. Please honor your five win bet.
Yep, as I posted in another thread, we have the same record at this point in the season as in Year 2 of Mike Leach. Leach’s team had some better wins but also some worse losses.
Kiffin went for it on fourth down against Oklahoma from his own 25 yard line up 12 in the third quarter, and took a sack back to the 15. If Lebby did that, some of y’all would have a stroke.
Kiffen has made some horrific 4th down calls. Terrible ones. FACT.
Goat has zero ability to sabotage what Lebby is doing. Goat is a piece of lint in Selmon's @$$ crack at best. He's a loser on the internet.
Snatching defeat from the hands of victory was a Croom attribute. His players played hard for him too.
We played even with A&M first half, should have been leading the game at that point. Lost a few keys and that was that in the last 30 minutes. Felt like the Bama games when they had 2nd string 5 stars.
If you would just be a little more candid about your thoughts***
I've been impressed with the team not even thinking about quitting. Does the idea of an NIL payday factor into that at all? Regardless, I think that it says a lot about how coach has managed the locker room attitude.
didn't we fight each other some? seems like we even blocked each other in games...
Croom's teams were never in games to be able to snatch defeat from victory. We got blown out in most of his losses because we couldn't score any points. I posted this before, but in 27% of Croom's games as coach, we scored single-digit points or were shut out. Lebby in no way, shape or form compares to Croom.
I prefer people to be direct with me so i'm direct with them. No sense in beating around the bush.
I would put money on us being no worse than 7-2, and very possibly 8-1, if we had Ole Miss' schedule this year.
And honestly it doesn't have to be 2 all sec OL. Just 2 guys that are above average to give us some depth. Same with D line.
Right. Both things can be true. He deserves criticism for Florida Texas and Tennessee for how we handled the end of those games. He deserves credit for the ones he won that were close. TAMU we were way out matched in a bad environment.
^This. The Croom years were miserable to watch. Last year was as close as we've been to those years when there seemed to be zero hope. Lebby has made many mistakes, but we are nowhere close to the Croom years. Time makes many blind.
Kiffin had built a lot more insurance and has shown he can win more than he loses doing that. It is what it is. You win you can build yourself some credit to make calls like that when your overall record is 7-14 as a head coach you don't get that lucky. Everything you do is under a microscope. Though it's funny you don't think the ole miss fans are pissed with kiffin does that and it doesn't work
