We need an innovative leader, not a bureaucrat.
Keenum has got to go.

And not just for football
Wow. It’s so bad we’re having to fire the president of the university.
Burn it all down and start over, huh?

No more bullish!t
Trump to Mississippi State!
Trump to Mississippi State!
Nah I want Elon. He would fix the faculty seating issue on day 1. Plus he would throw a couple of Billion into NIL.
we swinging at anything and everything now.
Probably a good idea. Is there anything Mississippi state excels at anymore? Y’all can go ahead and get ready for basketball heartbreak too.
I agree, the Cohen and Selmon hires have been disappointing.
Well I blame his dumb *** for hiring cohen and for promoting Arnett
Yes our athletics have all sucked *** for most part last two years.
Stricklin might be available after this year**
He also hired Strickland. Just an abject failure at so many things he does.
the academic side has taken a huge downturn under his leadership. these dumb athletic hires just bring more attention to the academic failures under his tenure
I felt like overall the stricklin era in sports was pretty good. Men's basketball meh.
Keenum was fine until he started getting too involved, like trying to keep Moorhead and hiring Arnett.
Fat *** Sid Salter is the one that makes the decisions. He is a joke…
Yall think Keenum is why we lost? That's a wild take when 2/3s of this board doesn't believe we should attend games and give to NIL.
More would be willing to donate if we had a plan for things.
After 15 years, it’s hard to keep things fresh. And although politics and public universities are very common, there is large degree of overkill when it comes to MSU and the current administration.
Not this again.
You know this will be the IHL response:
Come on down, Doctor…. (And he’s even an alum)
And I’ll just note again the 17ing IHL doesn’t care about secure websites… Their web crew needs to make them https.
It’s wild that he’s moved up that far. He was teaching agronomy classes when I was there in the early 2000s. He was my Weed Science prof in 01.
Not this again.

No they wouldn't, they either support it or they don't. They give excuse after excuse for no support then they ***** about results and don't show up to games.
He would come in, immediately cut critical staffing, then do a delayed start livestreamed interview with poor sound quality where he claims all issues related to cuts are proof the cuts had to be made.
And what exactly has Selmon done to piss off so many of you other than he is black?
Hahahaha, you don’t even know how uninformed you really are. Just 17ing awful, then you resort to calling us racist.
If you only knew what’s he’s done. Hired for the wrong reasons, and has sucked since he was hired.
Don’t even try to go there. Nobody cares what race he is. Nobody. I was excited when we hired him. But he’s been a disappointment.
Why don't you just tell us what he has done?
Poor choice of new logo.
keeps failing baseball coach.
marketimg is still close to non-existent.
hasn’t done nearly enough to build NIL
Lazy football coaching hire (jury still out)
Well, he let Lemonis keep his job last summer when most of our fanbase wanted him fired.
Then he promised to do a national search for a football coach and hire a big name, and then he just hired his friend (with no head coaching experience) from his old job, a guy with some baggage that likely no other Power 4 school would have hired, at least in 2024.
Maybe both of those decisions will work out and he can bump this thread and call me out about it. But that's 2 questionable decisions that many of our fans have found concerning.
Being a football guy I’m really surprised he didn’t insist Lebby be paired with a veteran DC, even if it’s a G5 level guy.
DC has to be Lebbys decision. But the fact that was his decision indicates to me he’s not serious about that side of the ball. Biggest early decision of career & he fell flat on his face.
that's a pretty detailed melt. i'll give you a like for creativity
See that’s the difference in Lebby and the clowns comparing to Mullen’s defense sucking in year one. At least Mullen got an experienced guy, even if he did suck. He tried.
This is what we get for hiring someone named Salmon. He's always swimming upstream to his death.
Right. I’m not liking Lebby’s plan for the program. He doesn’t understand that generally MSU has led with defense. It’s like he wants us to be 2010 Oregon.
Even Moorhead hired an experienced guy. Think about that.
I thought about liking it too but decided that glfr just cribbed from what’s happened with Twitter/X since Elon was forced to keep his promise to buy it…
I’m also against Elon being President but for a much different reason.
Like me, he’s on the Spectrum.
I think the Mississippi bureaucracy would be WAY too infuriating for him.
He’d be like Foglesong and flame out after a couple years— maybe a little less since he has money and doesn’t have to put up with the BS in Mississippi.
How do you know he didn’t do a national search? Why would a sitting head coach come to a place that just fired their HC after one year?
You seem to think every top 5 baseball coach in the country is salivating over coming to Starkville. Hint: they aren’t. Also, firing a guy so close to winning a natty is suicide. Much like hiring a 17ing football coach and firing him after one year. Heard that one before?
