Mississippi State coach Mike Leach said he will have to evaluate the roster and possibly "purge" some players who don't fit with the plan after Saturday's 24-2 loss at Kentucky.

"We're going to have to check some of our group and figure out who really wants to play here," Leach said after the Kentucky loss, "because any malcontents, we're going to have to purge a couple of those."

"We didn't play together at all," Leach said. "You can really say all things. We've got to figure out a way to clean that up. Their three guys up front can consistently beat our five. Our receivers did not consistently catch the ball. ... We turned the ball over, which was a byproduct of the quarterback's eyes not being in the right place."

Asked if Costello, a graduate transfer from Stanford, would remain Mississippi State's starter, Leach said, "We'll have to go back and take a look and see

This shite is not going to work in the SEC.

Leach may not be around after next season.

What a baby- your own fault you lost 24 to 2 to Kentucky and made 70 pass attempts w/ 6 INTs, Leach. Get a different gameplan, this is the SEC.

well if he's trying to bring the lockerroom together to hate on him he's off to a strong start.

They drop 2 on Kentucky but looked like 2007 Patriots against us.

What a season.

Leach realizing he has to play ten Washingtons/Oklahomas this year and his shite game plan doesn’t work.. I didn’t realize the mental implosion would happen after game three. But here we are.

If we had a season that could rival 2007, this will be it

This is one of the down sides of Leach. He will cheerfully gut his team like a trout.

Leach always dies this. Not surprised. Great quotes when they are winning but of course players fault when losing.

I forget. But exactly how many coaches did turn you down before you offered the Pit Boss?

He speaks the truth. Many teams should do the same(LSU). Malcontents and shite-stirrers need to go play somewhere else. Coaches having to tow the party line. Players with sand in their vagina because a coach supports the wrong political philosophy or even wears a t-shirt they do not like. Leach is a breath of fresh air.

That has always been his excuse.

When he wins....his system is perfect. When he loses its his players fault.

He cannot admit his system has some major flaws.

Oh FOH with that shite, we're talking sports, not politics. It's becoming clear he's not a leader of men. A leader of men brings everyone together. Leach isn't getting anywhere.

You could say that, but don't pretend y'all didn't want him there.
