7-5 or 6-6 successful?

[pmack3641]

Will you consider a 7-5 or 6-6 with another loss to Ole Ms a successful year for Leach? Personally I looked at 5-7 or 6-6 record for this year for several reasons. This type offense in this league will not make you a consistent winner, O-line is weak, QB play with Rogers is to inconsistent and at times just not good, tough schedule, good defense but lacks speed and finally coaching. This isn’t a “I hate Leach thread”, just asking for opinions.

I'll take 7 with this schedule and not be extremely disappointed.

SEC is a line of scrimmage league. If Leach ever got 4* OL like he's landing QBs we'd be cooking with grease!

Of course it is successful. 6-6 I'd be SLIGHTLY disappointed, but still successful.

State has one of the hardest schedules in the country this season. Going 7-5 is a successful season.

 

[Bill Shankly]

This year, yes it is.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

7-5 will be pretty meh imo

 

[Cooterpoot]

It would be disappointing. But State fans will celebrate it.

7 will be above my preseason expectations. I don’t think we win he Egg Bowl, but 0-3 is unacceptable.

5-6 wins. Y’all can be satisfied with passing the our head coach 1 million dollars per win. Good gig.

You realize he’s in the bottom half of coaching salaries in the league, right?

You realize he’s in the bottom half of coaching salaries in the league, right?

You realize that still equates to paying him 1 million dollars per win. If you’re satisfied with that keep him.

No I would not consider that a success. 6-6, 7-5 with an egg bowl loss would cause a lot of fans to just check out. At some point he needs to show that he can take the next step.

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

No, we could have paid a lot less for a good young coach and still have the same/better record.

 

[Maroonthirteen]

6-6 (OM win ...ok but meh). 7-5 (OM win... ok good).

Either with a OM loss ..... sucks. Why? Because it effects recruiting of players and the overall student body.

So let's break this down. 7-5 would essentially mean losing to LSU, Bama, and UGA, and then going 3-2 against the Ark, Aub, UK, A&M and OM group. It's hard for me to call a 3-5 SEC record successful, but I'd say it's acceptable.

People need to get outta here with 6-6 though. I get that we picked up UGA this year which makes this one of the most difficult conference schedules in the country, but we also have as close to a gimmie non-con schedule that we're every going to have, and going 2-6 in our conference slate will nothing less than a major disappointment with this junior/senior heavy roster. If that's seriously the best we can do after 3 years of Leach getting his guys in place and installing the air raid, then that's about as much proof as we're ever gonna get that this experiment isn't going to work
