Don’t make me split hairs but Leach is only in the HOF because of a rule change. He had a .596 win percentage and got in because they changed the threshold to .595 this year.
It can be both coaching incompetence and lack of talent. Both can be true. And in our case both are true. But we will never be good without good players. Which requires NIL.
I actually think Keenum has let modern athletics pass him by and needed to be gone years ago. But I don’t see how much can be said about Selmon to this point. He had to hire Leach’s replacement (Arnett is not even worth counting). And it’s pretty obvious no one wanted to follow Leach and it’s not because of that 9-4 record. Last year we didn’t even field a full roster. If it doesn’t work out next year then let’s see what happens before saying Selmon is the reason for our football issues.
Cohen’s failure to implement NIL infrastructure is absolutely Cohen’s fault. That led to Selmon’s job being more difficult.
Well, they got that wish in spades. Two SEC wins in three seasons and we are the conference laughing stock.
No. the entire fan base was not, just the vocal critics. I miss 9 wins.
He died. It doesn’t matter if it was planned for him to be fired the following day the outcome would’ve been the same.
Absolutely. There’s some bad karma that comes with that whole saga. youd Think at some point the morons would stop doubling down, lol
So you’re blaming Leach’s death on people that were critical of him and the hiring of him?
We don't know that. He was living off Mullen's talent and culture. We see what he has done since he left., 13-35.
Who cares? We did exactly that WITH Leach. Why does it matter if someone else might have done it?
The roster problems in the post-Leach era was not a Leach problem. It was a “we can’t pay enough” problem, and a “we decided to go a completely different direction” problem.
Apples to oranges comparing Washington state to Mississippi state.
It’s not. Leach went 53-43 in the regular season at Washington State, over 8 years. That averages out to 6.6-5.4 per season. Rounds up to 7-5 average, if you’re into rounding.
Oh, recruiting problems? Sorry, I thought you said ROSTER problems. Whatever recruiting problems that Leach had, he dealt with by winning with what he had.
The point isn’t about anything. There is no point. But you’re over here tying Leach into it and saying things about fictitious roster problems and recruiting problems. So that was addressed.
Yeah, he even feels more like a traitor than Strick or Byrne. I would have respected him more had he just stayed as our baseball coach.
I'm very happy we got the expensive new baseball stadium and coach. Of course, that's just me. I'm a MSU baseball fan first and foremost than anything else. Football and basketball are just ok to me.
