Why does he have to fall into any of them? I’m not suggesting Lebby will be a HOF coach (he hasn’t coached a game yet) but there have been very successful coaches who have had perceived “discipline problems” i.e. Mark Richt, Kirby Smart, Bobby Bowden
And can we let Lebby coach a game and have a full year of being our coach before we say he’s a coach with an X problem? Not sure what he’s supposed to do about Demonte Russell, seems like a nuanced situation that’s still being sorted out. And kids in every program get DUIs. That has happened with every coach and will happen going forward.
If kids start fighting at practice and we look very undisciplined this year with pre snap and tons of personal fouls then maybe you’re right. But I’m willing to let him coach a game before calling him Joe Moorhead 2.
Not really about Lebby, honestly, at the end of the day. But hey, if Lebby can turn it around, it's all good. I'll start from the beginning:
- I don't like how our fanbase treated Leach, it showed a fundamental lack of understanding. I actually didn't like the hire, because I knew we would not appreciate him, and I was right;
- I don't like how we treated Cohen, one of our own, who oversaw a national championship and also hired Jans;
- I don't like how our leadership and fans rallied behind Arnett, who was bltching behind the scenes, and how we hired him out of fear of him leaving. That shows EXACTLY how our fanbase felt about Leach, and how idiotic we are overall, considering what happened;
- I didn't like the hire of Selmon, and I don't think he's done a damned thing;
- Selmon made an easy hire of Lebby, so there's some default issues there as well.
Lebby himself hasn't done many things wrong in my eyes, outside of appearing to be a little lackadaisical with discipline. Rumors are he and Venables didn't get along over that very thing.
So for me, it's more disgruntlement towards the athletic department as a whole. There's your summation.
Edited to add: I 17ing hate &tate too as our main logo, and I know EXACTLY where that garbage came from - leadership. And Selmon was just the guy to do what he was told.
