Winning games you're favored to win. Winning egg bowls. Having a competent special teams. Having an offense that doesn't stall against pressure. Having a coaching staff that can make in-game adjustments. Want me to continue?
Count me as OFF the Leach beach

Short of the egg bowl, which i suspect is the main culprit for all the folks who live and die by it, I can cite examples of all of the things that you said, with the inconsistency that you'd expect in year 3 on the heals of the Moorhead experiment and throwing away year one to COVID. At present,we have shown marked improvement year over year. Unlike the majority of my MSU fandom, being behind the sticks or greater than a field goal behind on the scoreboard is something that we can overcome. I'm tapping out. This thread is an exercise in myopathy.
I have seen the case built against every MSU coach we have ever had by a segment of our fan base. Jackie, Mullen, Leach, all of them have their detractors. Guess what. This same group will do the same to the next coach, the next coach and the next coach.
Show me a SIGNIFICANTLY better coach that can win, and by win I mean get $$$$$$ for 4* and 5* players to make himself a "better coach", and one that is an obsessed maniac workaholic micromanagement freak like Saban that can also hire coaches to work like indentured servants (until they leave to have a life), and former head coaches to be analysts and employ old friendly men to be "life coaches" that just provide counseling and mentoring to the players.
Then I will say ok lets do it. Otherwise I don't see anyone that can do anything much better than the quirky (yet oddly successful) coach we have today.
You have receivers coming to MSU that would never come before. You have QB's coming that would never come before. We have now beaten A&M, Ark, Auburn and might win another SEC game.
Kiffin is having some early season success (narrowly luckily beating KY at Oxford) and I think it is killing some of our fans. Kiffin looks better on TV, sounds better and take a good photo. If/when UM beats State again I am sure there will be a group of people that says fire the SOB Leach. It's really easy to predict. Wait until after the Egg Bowl to build your dramatic closing arguments against the current head coach.
What will you say if/when MSU beats Ole Miss and finishes ranked higher with a bowl win because that is what this is all about. Go ahead and get your notes together in your little notepad app on your iPhone in case you don't want to look like a dramatic teenage girl if that happens. Protect your internet cred please just in case.

There were plenty of games under Mullen where we played like crap. Beating Bowling Green by one point, being down 3-0 to UAB at halftime, barely beating Troy by six, losing to South Alabama, losing to Georgia and Auburn in back to back weeks in 2017 (one of our best seasons under Mullen) by scores of 31-3 and 49-10. So please don’t act like Mullen always had us ready to play because he laid plenty of stinkers.
7-5 would mean loss at #6 Alabama, loss at top ten LSU, loss on road to ranked uk in a night game, loss to number one Georgia, loss to number eleven Ole Miss on the road.
well that’s the #2 sos in the country to start the year and will probably finish up as #2 sos when all is said and done.
we may end up 8-4 but 7-5 is a solid year with that schedule, especially if we can get to 8-5 with a good bowl win.

Don't forget other classics like Perkins up the middle
The price to get better than that is about $30M so if you want better pay up
Yes! I agree MSU should not fire a fb coach with a winning record with some very good, quality wins under his belt. I disagree we should keep him around so we can complain incessantly. Yeah I know—it’s the fan’s prerogative. But what change should be made?
We've done worse. A lot worse. I'm no Leach fan, but I'm definitely not calling for him to be fired. Now, if he retires, I won't shed a tear.
i respect that. im greedy for more success for &TATE though and borderline impatient
life is running out
