Every year of the Leach tenure

[Puppers]

2 things have happened

1. Players have left and there has been talk of a "mutiny". Everyone thinks Mike Leach has lost control of the team and is a lame duck coach going forward.

2. We have improved as a team and a program.

You speak the truth

A month will go by, and no one will care. We'll replace these guys and keep trucking. The defense is fine, even if we have to replace Arnett. It happens.

This is the benefit of having a plug and play offense. There are plenty of players out there and not enough seats at the table.

The media needs chaos though, so there will continue to be 'sky is falling' posts/articles/tweets/etc.

It’s because this is all the Leach haters have. There are people who hate Leach and will always hate him no matter how many games we win. The portal is right now the only thing they can ding him on. Every team is losing players to the portal but they act like it’s just us and they’re leaving because they hate Leach and hate the offense. So far we’ve lost two impact players, and DJ’s production can be easily replaced. I thought after we beat OM the Leach haters would be satiated for a while but I should’ve known better.

He’s not perfect but he’s done better than some want to give him credit for. We are basically back to where we were when Mullen left after swimming upstream for 3-4 years.

Funny how "losing control of the team" can also look like managing problems off the roster, or just not cowing down to player egos/demands and insisting that everyone work hard, be a team player, etc. JoMo and his placating players approach lost control of the team. Leach may quit in disgust at the crap he has to deal with these days but he won't lose control of the locker room.

That's the 50% of coaches that have above .500 winning records.

The biggest threat to Mississippi State football is its own fans. We could win 5 national titles in a row and the majority of our fan base would still be whiny chicken little pus*ies

Look no further than Rickea Jackson .....she has just been suspended by the fourth coach out of the four coaches she has played for in college...sometimes cancers are good players

 

[DoggieDaddy13]

It is not a coach's job to pump sunshine up anybody's a$$ - particularly now that he's having to manage players who are getting paid beyond their usual football scholarship.
His job is to make them better players and better men and, hopefully, build a winning program. I trust Leach to do that. Even more today than I did last week.
He's like a damnn CEO. You better make sure the people working for your organization are team players and doing their dead level best to get better.

When have we lost players that really hurt us and people declared a mutiny possible prior to this year?

"Leach haters."

I only read/post at this message board, and I haven't noticed anyone here that I would put into that category. Certainly, I simply may have a different idea of what a "Leach hater" is. (IMO, hate is a strong word.)

Also, I'm not very sensitive to critical remarks . . . especially critical remarks about someone other than myself (e.g., Leach).

Have you noticed any "Leach haters" here? If so, then who? If not, then where?

Fabian Lovett
Jarrian Jones
Last year Makai Polk went pro and there was drama about Spurrier Jr saying it was the wrong move

 

[The Cooterpoot]

None of those guys mattered. We

Kylin Hill

knew two were tamped with resulting in their inability to play at OM. Hill had created drama on the team a long time. No loss there. No one thought "oh, Leach won't survive that".

Malik Heath. Aaron Brule. Rodney Groce. Teddy Knox. Jacobi Moore. All them dudes that went to USM.

RaRa is Malik Heath 2. Good talent but replaceable. Nothing bad to say about DJ, but honestly I didn't expect he and Woody to stay 4 years.

In a year that both NIL and transfer portal were newly in full effect?

ETA: For many of your posts, you could just keep "I don't like Leach" somewhere handy to copy and paste and save keystrokes, as could a number of posters on here.

No, I think 4-5 would do it.

Fortunately, the portal is a revolving door and Leach's stock continues to rise (with one game left).

Sure they didn't in hindsight. But at the time it seemed like a big deal. Much like what has happened this week.

Yes, somehow we will tee it up to start next season.

No it didn't. Lovett was the only one we wanted. Other two were cancers.

Not how I remember it but whatever
