I hope we beat the shite out of y'all but you know how crazy the Egg Bowl can be. Y'all have struggled stopping the run, though, but you're in luck, because we can't stop the pass. We have a sterling 10:2 TD:INT ratio in conference play.


State has not struggled stopping the run most weeks. They held Alabama to a season low 29 yards.

It's the mobile QB were they have a problem. Jackson Dart could have a field day on broken plays.

This is exactly who Leach is. He has positives and can be a tough out... but his teams are very inconsistent and his game managment at times is flat out dumb.

This started well before he arrived at MSU.

Leach out recruits him even in the NIL environment.



Yeah that 40th rated recruiting class this year is just killing it. Only 1 four star in the class. Only ahead of Vandy. yeah Leach is an ace recruiter so good he doesn't like doing it.

Y'all have given up 230+ on the ground in three of your past four conference games. If that's not struggling, I don't know what is.

Question one: Is there someone considerably better and matches up with LSU and Ole Miss?

Two: will this person actually take the job?

Answer no to either keep your coach and stability and dont even talk about coaching change.

This "question one" is incorrect. State fans don't compare their program to LSU. They care about Ole Miss and Ole Miss alone.

Is there someone better? Yeah, there might be but there’s a ton of options that are a whole lot worse. My personal opinion is that his offense doesn’t put the safeties in conflict enough because the run game is non existent

The most recent example was against Auburn this past week as State went out to a 24-3 lead in the 2nd quarter Leach then goes on to call 24 straight passing plays and 3 other plays were sacks by Auburn 2 of which were strip sacks they recovered.


Obviously Leach is the play caller but I guess you haven't read that Will can actually check out of plays at the LOS. It's not Leach calling 24 straight pass plays. It's Will checking out of run plays and deciding to go pass because he can't read what the defense is doing. Rogers has hit his ceiling and he is what he is at this point.

Now us playing uninspiring football against our opponents, that's 100% on Leach and it's souring our fanbase and it's showing at our home games.

Your fanbase chose him as a reactionary hire to Lane.


I know y’all love to push this narrative, but Moorhead was getting fired regardless after the QBs eye socket was broken. He lost control on and off the field.

No, they don't. State fans have never compared their program to LSU. Neither fanbase consider that game a rivalry and LSU has dominated the series, winning 77/116 games.

For state, it's only Ole Miss, it has always been Ole Miss, and it will never be anything other than Ole Miss.

I hate those bastards but love that about them.

No.

Fans, boosters and administration have no clue what kind of adjustments he's made or not made.

Miss State could do a lot worse than Leach.
