Could be nothing, could be bitching online, could be not giving any more $$$.
Just curious how serious everyone is about it.

If Hutzler is retained - what is your response as a fan?
- Thread starter dawgstudent
- Start date
I’m in full blown apathetic mode. Don’t really care.
Not renewing my season tickets.
In its current state, MSU football doesn't give me anything to be curious about next season... let alone excited to go to a game. At least at home I get to change the channel... unlike when I'm sitting in the stands....

He needs to go, or it be fully explained why he is being retained.
Hard to be this bad, and act like it's business as usual.

I'm just going to sit back and watch the dominoes fall. Nothing that I can/will do is going to make a baby fart in a hurricane difference so why get all worked up about it?
Unless there is a remarkable portal class I’m pretty much emotionally numb from the start. What sucks is I won’t be able to hate on Will next year either so I guess I’ll just hate on Ole Miss, Texas, ND, and Colorado.
All of the above. Pretty sure I've just about bitched online about all I can about Hutzler. He's coming back and nothing any of us can do about it. I did cancel my Bulldog Initiative monthly bank draft a couple of weeks ago and won't be contributing to the Excellence Fund. I have zero faith in Selmon or Lebby to spend the money they do have effectively, so why give them more?
It's hard to imagine that I could give any less of a 17 about this program and its leadership from top to bottom. The fact that it is even debatable that this guy could conceivably be retained demonstrates the depths that have been plumbed to reach this milestone of $h!++!ness. We are talking Mariana Trench depths. Never in a million years did I dream that TInkle's crxxms hire could be eclipsed for shear $hi++iness. But the Lebby hire and the hires made by Lebby appear to have been worse than crxxms. Unbelievable.
Cancelling my bank draft next week if it’s not done. It’s not a lot of money but over time it adds up.
I think the ceiling next year is 4. And that's with replacing NIU with a complete cupcake.
My family and I will still support MSU... About to order a new hat in fact. We are planning on sending our kids to camps there this summer as well...
I won’t be renewing season tickets. I can’t continue to subject my family to this BS.
My response is Mississippi State has fully embraced "failure at football" and it lets me know the administration is perfectly ok with it. Why care about Mississippi State Football anymore? There's not a legitimate enough reason to justify caring about it anymore.
Let’s be honest, firing Hutzler would be the absolute, bare bones minimum that fans of any half reputable football program should expect after this past season. Doing that and bringing in an actual proven DC might move the anticipation needle a hair, but again… we’re talking bare minimum expectations
If we seriously can’t or won’t even do that, it puts the nail in the coffin as far as my view of our athletic administration. They’ve got incredibly difficult jobs, and I don’t blame Selmon or Lebby for every mistake. I sure as hell expect them to own and fix the bad ones, though. If they don’t have the wherewithal to do this or you know, actually perform their jobs as leaders… I will not give a dime towards Stste football until they’re all gone. All of them

the next question is, what about the other defensive staff members? Is everyone just retaining their job when they were the worst defense in college football?!
Me watching us give up 9ypc and lead the league in yardage allowed on way to an improved 3-9 2025 campaign.
I will sneak into the Seal building and stop up the toilet.***
As much as Hustler needs to go, that's also important. Any DC should have say his staff. So what's the total buyout? Or would they get re-assigned and go along with that or quit?
I
I won't renew my tickets. Not worth all that money and getting bugged for more all the time when we're big fat p u s s i e s who reward failure. Lebby can suck it too! He's lost as a damn goose as a HC and doesn't have the balls to be ruthless in the SEC like you have to be. He hides behind silent Bob our AD.
about tap out - baseball rebounding last year delayed it
My son will not likely make the same mistake from a fan perspective as I did
I chose MSU Engineering over LSU Engineering

It just tells me that we aren't serious about fielding a decent defense and that this whole coaching change might be a really bad example of the buddy system at its worst. If we get a new DC, I could fall back into my standard level of excitement based on hope. If not, I'll simply be disengaged until things improve one way or another.
This season, every game, at least once, I saw a name that on the field that I had no idea who it was. Could be old age, could be NIL/free agency, could be a combo, but it's weird.

But as far as I'm concerned our current DC hustled his way into a job he was really not ready for.
I see what ya did there. Could always appreciate both, for the articles of course

Raise your hand if you've never seriously considered asking yourself this question about the state or condition of the football program at MSU:
"Is this what it feels like to be a Vanderbilt fan?"
That's where I am at the moment.

If he is retained then DT and rest of defensive staff has to go. Someone has to answer for that pathetic performance on defense this year. Hutzler needs to be the one but if Lebby just can’t do it then rest of staff needs to be retooled around Hutz
I'll do what I always do and get excited that maybe, just maybe we'll turn it around with those JUCO's. Maybe AZ Western has some guys available.
I don’t get season tickets anymore, so I can’t cut that. I could cut bulldog club donation but I’d hate to do that given several other sports rely on that too.
It’s just unfortunate, if he is retained, because the defense displayed no sign of improvement. To make a case to keep the defensive staff, you have to accept that we had just dog **** players. I’d be willing to bet the problem was a mix between talent and coaching. But it was such a colossal failure and we should be looking to replace both (talent and coaching). I’d be looking for as many new defensive players as possible and new coaches.
Im not going to say “we don’t care about winning if we retain the DC” because I don’t think that’s true. But by making the decision to keep him, if next year is a repeat, people are going to want to blow everything up. This is not a smart move by lebby.

I care for two ninety-year old parents who are falling apart. Going to games is a relief from the difficult situation, but this year was a nightmare of arranging sitters or siblings. When I got to the games I was shock at how the “worthy opponents “ ran thru us so easily. Now, the BC just asked me for $2000 for “excellence”. I have to think about this opportunity to support the school. Right now, I am not inclined to give anything to the sh*t show my school put on the field.
2024 has been the least amount of stress I've put myself under on Saturdays for a long time. If so, 2025 will allow me to ultimately just wait till baseball season and not worry about MSU sports.
