Just so I’m clear about this defense

The team that A&M picked off 3 times and held to 2 yds/carry just scored 6 TDs on 26/28 passing and 6.3 yds/carry.

Guys, that is f’n ridiculous. I don’t know that moving on from Lebby makes any sense, but assistants’ heads have to roll after the season. You cannot keep telling the fanbase to hang in there with us while allowing this level of ineptitude to continue

I probably attended my last game this season today. It was misery all around. ****** team and too hot. My son was wise enough to stay home. The only reason I am buying season tickets next year is because of the home schedule. They have to make a change in the coaching staff. The entire Defensive staff needs to go. The O line coach need to go. The running backs looked better today.

It is aggravating as hell that the only time our defense stops a pass is when the WR drops the ball. They are always open, and the QB is never pressured. This has to be the worse defense Miss State has ever put on the field.

I'm still baffled that Lebby thought as a first year head coach it was wise to hire a defensive coordinator who was a first time coordinator.
I doubt it was his first choice. I’d be surprised if it was in the top 5, if even top 10.

Lebby doesn’t want to end his career because he played favorites. We are just in a historically terrible spot brought on by years of terrible decisions made by our president and former card carrying member of the pronoun brigade AD.

And, no matter who is running what, this year was always gonna be dismal on defense. We hit a perfect storm from every g0t damned angle this season in football.

Maybe he wasn’t given the budget to hire one.
Hutlzler is making a million a year. DJ Durkin at Auburn is making 1.2 million a year. Cory Batoon at Missouri, who was the defensive coordinator at South Alabama, is making 1 million a year.

There were other options with prior coordinator experience that we could have gone with or at least attempted to hire instead of a guy that's never had that responsibility before.

This season is a good opportunity for those of us with young kids to bring them to a game. No traffic, show up late, leave early, go play at the tailgate and not watch, plenty of empty space in the stands for them to run around, enough cell service to watch bluey.

Do you really want to expose young impressionable children to this level of incompetence?

Could we be worse. Three weeks in a row, teams hit a running back in the flat. We haven’t covered it yet. This is the most poorly coached defense I have ever watched. I am normally a positive poster, and I laugh at you fans who wave their arms at the first negative play…Fire the coach, you say. But this effort by the defensive coaching staff is a damned embarrassment.

Durkin will probably be job hunting again after the season

Maybe we should have spent some time recruiting portal there instead of offense.

If $h1th3ad Hutzler is making a cool mill a year that is literally $750k too much.

You know. You are hitting me where I live. Bravo.

You guys are dumber than I thought if you waste your time watching the next two games

I’m taking at least the next 3 weeks off from Mississippi state football
I’m watching. It’s like a slow moving train wreck you just can’t take your eyes off of.

Very good points. He wasted $999,999.00 on his most important staff hire - DC!!!

The thing that pisses me off the most is lack of effort. Even when we are in position to make the play we are whiffing on tackles, and getting our tackles broken. Idc about lack of talent, thats not an excuse for lack of hustle or basic fundamentals. The amount broken tackles and whiffed tackles seems like an effort issue to me.

Even the body language is piss poor on the defensive end. At least with the O I see some effort and grit. The defense is the opposite, it’s like they don’t even want to be there
