Regardless, BV gave him a chance with a big program. AD had to sign off on it. He owes them a thanks because he broke the terms of their agreement having him on the field. Not a good look to leave like a jilted girlfriend after all they did for him. It was his actions that forced a reaction. Admin did not want local press to have anything to tie to past but he served it up on a platter.
I’m just surprised he can’t do the honorable thimg and take the high road and put it to bed. A simple thanks would have done wonders. Imagine how its can be used in future recruiting when both schools go after same recrit and OU can point to his character in how he handles things which he might do to them.
Just saying, a simple thanks would have gone a long way. He will face pressure at some point at MS too, and how will he handle it? Riley banned a reporter and boy did that backfire on him. Best to not burn bridges if you don’t have to.

Agreed on all points.

Lebby doesn't owe OU fans anything. I'd venture a guess that fans have no idea of any communications between Lebby and Venables/administration. Not a single recruit is going to decide between OU and MSU based on Lebby not publicly thanking OU. That's absurd. OU hired him to do a job and paid him. Lebby did his job. Then he took a different job with a better title and higher pay.
