per Steve Robertson on Jackson radio this morning.

We fired a national championship winning baseball coach mid-season and went out and threw the bank at one of the top sitting baseball coaches in America.

Mississippi State does not take football seriously. Lebby is 3-20 in the SEC, and will finish the season 3-22 (.120)

Croom was 10-30 (.250) and is considered a failure.
Derek Dooley was 4-19 (.174)
Joker Phillips was 5-19 (.208)

Only Chad Morris (0-14, .000) has been worse in SEC play iin the last 50 years, and if not for Kamario Taylor and 250 yards of Arkansas penalties last year, Lebby would be 0-25.

Our fanbase just loves baseball too much.

Lebby can't help that Kamario got hurt. If he says healthy State has a totally different season.

Injuries happen. What Lebby can help is having a decent backup.

UCLA is 9-0 with a backup.
Ole Miss made the playoff last year with a backup.

State has looked terrible with backups. 18 points in 15 quarters after being on pace to break the school scoring record. All from a coach who's supposed "system" was the selling point.

Agree, they'd probably get 8-9 wins with the way he was playing. That said, imo, MSU needs to ask itself:

1. Do they want to be a program that doesn't NEED a stud QB to have a winning season?

2. Is Lebby the coach to get them there?

The consistently bad conference records, coach after coach, tell me that #1 is probably a NO & they're focusing on baseball/cheaper athletics. It is what it is

MSU fans, am I off base here?

State has half the NIL budget of the top spenders.

Why are you even complaining about Lebby.

He can't make chicken salad out of chicken shite. It is the fanbase and donors who have lost all these games by refusing to pay players.

I asked Gemini to some up my feeling in today's youth terms, here goes..

"Look man, I ain't cap for Lebby, deadass. But people gotta wise up and treat college ball like the league now. Even if you runnin' the whole show, you still gonna catch Ls, even to trash-arse squads.

On God, if your whole entire season rides on just one dude like us, that’s like pullin' up to a race and watchin' the #3 car get totaled on lap five at Daytona—it's chalked, absolute curtains.

So everybody just needs to touch grass and chill out for real. This ain't some condo down at the Phoenix in OB, fam. Your ROI is literally just pure trauma and vibes. Go ahead and melt down in the chat, I guess."

Not sure how you rationalize firing a guy who started off undefeated until his Heisman candidate QB goes down for the year and best running back also gets injured.

He's responsible for the backups, too

Yeah, but in this day and age even the biggest programs struggle to have depth at key positions. Look at what has happened to Ohio State after Sayin went down.

His NIL budget can barely pay the starting 22.

Increase your NIL spending by 50% then complain. Firing him and his staff and paying them millions to not coach when the program cant rub two pennies together is the dumbest thing ever.

Take all the money youd waste on buyouts and pump it into players and give the man a fighting chance at least.

Most SEC teams would at least remain competitive with their backups.

Not Miss State.
Imagine how bad OM wouldve been with no backup plan for Austin Simmons...

This is quite simply, not true.

Most reliable estimates (not OM wishcasting) put our NIL at $30M for the year.

Granted that isn't the $50M spent by the top spenders, but it is still likely Top 25, and I don't know if you've seen, but we aren't getting Top 25 results.

It is certainly more than the team that came in to our place and kicked our arse this past Saturday

Ole Miss outbid Temple for Chambliss.

Thats why NIL budget is very important. Chambliss was set to go start for Temple but Ole Miss gave him far more money to come be the backup.

You cant spend money on depth with no money left in your NIL budget.

State has to sort out their NIL situation before they start firing coaches after 2 or 3 seasons. They'll never be able to get a decent replacement once they start down that path.

I've seen 22 million.

Top spenders are 35 to 50 million.

Did Ohio State get shutout in the first half against Vanderbilt on Homecoming?

So if Ole Miss is a top spender, how have they never made the SECG?

Im glad that makes you feel better.

We will toss another bag of cash at players and keep trying.

State is with Arkansas in the we won't even attempt to try category.

Enjoy.
