Crazy to me to see how all the talking heads….
- Thread starter OG Goat Holder

Everything starts in the trenches. No offensive scheme matters if you can't block. No defensive scheme matters if you can't rush the QB or stop the run.
I don't think it will be much better any time soon.
Boom Boom posts about sports? This is a great day!
The same happens at a company when new management takes over or when a new Politician takes over in governments. In all three cases you are usually disappointed.
Elite coaches win championships. Most of them get hired by Elite teams where they win them. A very few create a team, usually over a long period, from scratch that wins one, like Bobby Bowden.

Elite coaches don’t spend 30+ years at Texas Tech, Washington St & Mississippi State. He was a good coach though. Better than any we’ve had since the 1950s other than Mullen & Sherrill.
Do they? I don’t think they do.

247- Marcello gave it a B+, so that’s positive. He also gave 11 an A-, A or A+ so we are in the middle for him.

Damn! I’m not a fan of the hire. But it’s not that bad. USA Today’s rankings seem to be in random order. They’ve got a few pretty mediocre hires ranked near the top.Do they? I don’t think they do.

I'll go out on a limb and say we have a top 30 or so offense and top 60 defense this year in P4. Could see the offense a little slow to click but be good if we avoid injuries.

Couldn’t find a lot from 23, but the 2 I saw had Deion 1 and 5 overall. I’m sure when he leaves CO with a .400 record they will point to elevating the programs profile and other intangibles that don’t matter compared to wins and losses. Granted we could go 11-1 with their schedule this year.Do they? I don’t think they do.

This. Good but not elite.
Also prior to coaching at State; I knew who he was but didn't follow him close enough to know him well. However I think in his time at State, I figured out why he didn't get the Tennessee job or something similar.
Gezzz I hope Lebby wins so we can move on.
Leach was an elite coach. He didn’t get a shot at the big time because he was different. Different scares a lot of the sheep, but every now and again, an AD or head coach will take a chance on different and it usually works out.
Elite coach? A guy that doesn’t have the winning % to be in the HOF is elite?? this board never ceases to amaze
I kinda like the fact that nobody likes his hiring. Means that he feels like he's gonna be behind the eight ball right from the start so I know he's gonna be working his *** off. We'll find out this season if the guy and his staff like to work or not. I don't remember us having such a rough road schedule. Ever...
We'll see. If writers were such prominent experts, they would probably be something other than writers.

Yeah. Same with Sportscasters. They so low on the news totem poll they get less time than the weather girl or guy. If they were so hot, they would come on first!
I wouldn't call Leach an elite coach. He was an innovator and should be in HOF for that alone. Bellard was the same.
I havent been this excited over a coaching hire but twice in my days since I started MSU fall of 95....Mullen was the other....Lebby is going to be a big time coach....he is young, commands respect, gives respect.....has the pedigree...and is the son of a head coach....there is a reason UM was going to go after him if Kiffin had left ......
Now, will it show this year? We play 5 games against top 15 opponents and 4 of them are on the road.....6 against top 20 opponents.....he doesnt have the roster he needs this year, much like Mullen in year 1.....I think he will roll in due time....he is going to be a big time head coach, but he will have to succeed here first, and I believe he will.

I agree with everything here, but the that most of our fans ate it up. Almost everyone I know wanted the offense to stay the same and thought if we were going to promote one of our assistants it should have been from the offensive side.
Well you are friends with smart people then, and not the majority of the State message boards and talking heads.
