I already had the Disney+/Hulu/ESPN+ bundle, so I upgraded to ESPN unlimited for $14 a month more. It's only $4 a month more for ESPN with ads.

State is literally three plays from 8-1, two of them missed field goals, another was a personal foul on State after State had stopped Texas on 4th down.

Is GameDay actually worse now or do I just have 2000's GameDay nostalgia?
I think it's a lot better now, but they may be because I like Saban, and I guess Mcafee too (didn't like Mcafee at first).
I could see how Gameday is diluted getting that extra hour, but it gives me something to put on then.

Yep...I think he's had so much success at Ole Miss he's pushed the bar too high to take an LSU or FL or Aub job at this point. They would all have to make significate improvements to just be considered a lateral this point. 5 years ago
No. Not even close. Right now both Florida and LSU have better rosters than OM (by star ratings). Kiffin would immediately make either UF or LSU better than OM in 2026.

Dirty play by Elston, the SEC's trashiest player in the last 25 years. Elston twisted a down UGA player's leg and tore his ACL. Hit a down Bama RB and injured him, too.
7 of State's 8 SEC opponents are in the top 25.
re: If Kiffin stays in Oxford, it is a very telling statement on the current state of CFB.

You’re not fooling anyone; you were crying as you replied to this post. Florida, more than any other program, wants OP to be wrong, as the only thing you’ve been holding on to for the past two decades is the hope that traditional powerhouses still have an edge that no longer exists. You can’t make jokes about the MS schools moving to the Sunbelt so they can be more competitive because deep down you know you’re firmly in that same situation. It’s sad it’s taken you this long, we all knew it when you had no choice but to hire Billy Napier. Your program is the definition of a has been and will never recover to your former glory.
If Kiffin left for Florida, do you seriously think that OM would still be better than Florida? UF would have a better roster and a better team in year 1. Kiffin makes OM good and OM would be worse without him.
Not saying he should go, he has it made at OM with $$$ and lower expectations. Mullen should have stayed at State, he (and State) would be much better off now winning 8-9 games per season and making probably $8 million a year.
Vandy was terrible under Clark lea for a couple years as well but they were competing. Obviously their expectations are different so they were patient and now he has that program rolling because they gave him time.
Two overtime losses to ranked teams and a 2-point SEC loss away is most definitely competing. Literally three plays from 7-1, and State has yet to play any of the six worst teams in the SEC.

Vandy holds that record on 4 separate runs. And look at them now. Get behind your coach. Give him what he needs to succeed in NIL. What the frick are yall even spending money on? Your entire coaching staff combined makes less than Kiffin.
State has also had the toughest schedule in the SEC last year and this year.

I can say, as an Ole Miss fan, that losing Kiffin would not be ideal, but we have successfully marketed ourselves as a great program willing to pay top dollar to support a coach with pay, assistant pay, fan support, NIL, and the complete support of the administration. Other good coaches will be happy to come to Oxford. So we will ultimately be fine.
Kiffin is the best coach available, so the next one will not be as good. OM will drop if Kiffin leaves. Franklin wouldn't be as successful at OM as Kiffin. Who else? Golding? Ha! Sumrall at Tulane? Golesh? Both good coaches but not Kiffin.
OM can't poach any sitting head coach that Penn State or Florida could not. Because of NIL and Kiffin elevating OM temporarily, OM would still be good by OM standards, but 7-9 wins would be more typical than 10 wins.

Hiring Arnett was the fault of AD John Cohen. He was leaving MSU at the end of 2022 to go be Auburn's AD and didn't want to do a thorough coaching search. He simply promoted Zach Arnett, with his reasoning being that he didn't want to lose Arnett to another program. It was a lame excuse and a lazy excuse.
Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Cohen left while Leach was still alive. Part of the problem was Leach died unexpectedly after many other coaches had been hired and right before signing day. State didn't have an AD because Cohen had left.

When are you morons going to realize that anything before 2020 doesn’t f**king matter. It’s a new era. 20 years ago was the Florida job better than ole Miss? Absolutely. Now? A lot harder to answer. Wins and losses since the start of the NIL/Transfer era indicate that Ole Miss is the better job (we have the third most conference wins behind Georgia and Bama since the start of 2021). Just because you used to be good (yall really have only had two coaches ACTUALLY win big there), doesn’t mean you will be good in this era. Look at yall, Auburn, Nebraska, USC, Oklahoma (more recently), Florida state (been better than yall more often than not since 2020). I could keep going. It is going to be so fun to watch yall melt when the new Ole Miss/Kiffin contract is announced.
That is football ignorant. So you actually think that if Kiffin did go to Florida that Ole Miss would still be better than Florida? Everyone knows that would not be true.
Ole Miss fans have done this with every coach. They got cocky with Brewer, Tuberville, Cutcliffe, Orgeron, Houston Nutt, Freeze, and now Kiffin. They act like they are a dynasty whenever they have 2-3 good years. Right now they are good with Kiffin, but they are not the dynasty they think they are.
Now they think their NIL is and will always be better than much richer schools. They actually think they have more money than Penn State and Florida. Penn State is spending $750 million on a stadium renovation and OM cancelled their stadium renovation because they didn't have enough money for that and NIL.
Kiffin IS a really good coach and was smart to hit NIL early. However, Ole Miss would most definitely drop if he left and wherever he goes would be good.
I'm not even saying Kiffin will or should leave. He has it made at OM, big money, big NIL, and lower expectations.
None of this has anything to do with State at all, except that similarly Mullen should have stayed at State, won 8-10 games per year, and he would be way ahead of where he is now.

re: What's Arkansas doing for defense these days?
Posted by MedDawg on 10/8/25 at 8:19 pm to RazorBroncs
quote:
Petrino has instituted a rule in both live practice and games where all defensive players have to rush to the player that made the defensive play (tackle or pbu) and tap them on the helmet quickly. He talked about how its a morale builder, more or less giving the player that made the stop kudos every play from his teammates. But more importantly, it builds the habit of the entire defense running towards the ball/play where it's happening. Pursuing the carrier and closing in on the ball has been a huge problem with this defense, and it can't hurt to try something different.
It may work, but dang the players will end up running twice as much in a game, and I would worry about half the defense being out of position against a tempo offense.
On the other hand, it is crazy frustrating to watch a defense not swarming to the ball, then the one tackler there not using his arms and trying to bump the ball carrier down with his shoulder (or his back!), then the ball carrier just keeps going.
I think Bama blows out Vandy
