Jeff Lebby interview with Andy Staples...

Like all coaches, he just has to win. Doesn’t matter what he says. Croom & Moorhead both talked a great game at this point in their MSU career. That said we have to be realistic in expectations for this fall. 6 wins would be a good season. The talent level is as low as it’s been since the Croom days.

Jeff Lebby calls recruiting talent in Mississippi 'endless’
Jeff Lebby of Mississippi State joined On3's Andy Staples to discuss recruiting in Mississippi and how important in-state recruiting is.
Jeff Lebby details how much he learned about being a head coach from Brent Venables
Jeff Lebby is learning the ropes for how to lead his own program now at Mississippi State, and has Brent Venables to credit for some tips
“If there’s one thing that Jeffy Lebby made clear he’s not interested in hearing from recruits about it’s NIL.
“Obviously, the guys that lead with the NIL piece and are trying to dig in on that part of it are not our kind of guys, and that’s the reality of it. I understand that’s a huge part of where we’re at from a college football scene, but for us, we want guys that are about the right thing,” Lebby said.”
I am interested to see how this strategy works out for us.

I think Lebby is absolutely right. Of course we’ve got to be competitive in the NIL game to sign good players. But if NIL is the first thing out of his mouth, that’s probably not a player we need to waste much time on.
Hopefully, he's just spouting off about that part (like many coaches). If we are not balls deep into a detailed, long range collective plan (and I doubt we are), then we'll become Vandy. We don't have to spend like TAMU, but we need to get to a point where we are spending 75% of the mid tier SEC teams. If they are spending $2mil a year, then we need to send $1.5mil. I'm concerned that our fundraising and partnerships are not very robust (at least not at this point). It's not that much about NIL, it's about collectives. Charlie seems like a great guy, hopefully he's slick enough and aggressive enough to be the best leader of our collective.

If I don’t read any bad local stories about Lebbys pickup truck and I don’t see a lot of posts saying “Lebby just gets it”, then he might do alright.
Your naivete is showing. If he can talk the talk then he probably can walk the walk. Just send the kid over to Bama, they are having a natty drought. This is today's reality.
More like yours is showing. We’re not going to outrecruit the elites for players they really want. But you want to waste time & resources trying.
No, what I was saying was don't show the kid the front door just because he wants his share of the money grab. Of course, we can't beat the elites but we can entertain a future Dak who can be both loyal and looking out for himself and family then we need to be going forward with our eyes open not closed.
