It's gonna suck next year if it turns out this year is Lebby's best chance at a winning season.

Half of those teams will be mediocre, just like half of this “gauntlet” ended up being mediocre. The parity in this league isn’t going away. A good coach would win 8-9 games next year with that schedule. A bad one would do what Lebby is doing right now. Stop looking at helmet stickers and look at what is going on in the field of play. This isn’t 2017. No one stacks talent. Anyone can beat anyone every week. Coaching matters more than anything right now because everyone, including us, has money and talent.

Successful G5 coaches that we can double or triple their salary, or elite FCS coaches where we might 10x or 12x their salary.

Most coaches have a lot of confidence in themselves.

We started with zero and I mean zero players when he was hired. If we can get a little more stability we will be ok but consider it a win with 7 a year. Adding another conference game will not help us. Some of the other conferences drop way off after the top 4 teams so playing an extra game doesn’t matter but in the SEC yes.

He brought in an entirely new roster this year and paid a million dollars to a backup quarterback who will never play here. This isn’t 2018. You don’t need 3-4 years to see if a guy can coach. This is his roster and he’s failed to win an sec game.

Yeah. I see at least 5 potential wins there. The home schedule is fairly favorable.

I saw an interview with Vandy coach Clark Lea. He said there’s no such thing as a 3 year plan these days. If he doesn’t see a HS recruit playing be year 2, he’s taking another portal player. The same can be said for coaches. If you can’t produce by year 2 , you’re not the right hire.

Agree with this👆🏻! Look at what USM's first year coach is doing. I'm not comparing the SB with the SEC but it's all relative to where you are. Of course the difference is one had HC experience and one didn't.

I think the bigger difference is Huff brought SB players with him to an SB school.

Damn. This is something I haven’t though about - coaching matters more than talent now bc the talent is no longer stacked and everyone has enough talent.
