Go look at the place. there is growth everywhere. Keenum is doing a good job.We need an innovative leader, not a bureaucrat.
You're the most misery filled fan I've ever encountered, in a base that's usually not happy anyway. I'll buy you a beer if we ever meet.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)
It wouldn't be easy to find one any better. It ain't all about sports.We need an innovative leader, not a bureaucrat.
EXACTLYYou 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?
Lebby wanted Durkin but A&M tied him up for months during recruiting seasonDC 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.
Melt or joke, depending on how you want to view it.that's a pretty detailed melt. i'll give you a like for creativity
The aerospace engineering folks would be on cloud 9.Nah I want Elon. He would fix the faculty seating issue on day 1. Plus he would throw a couple of Billion into NIL.
Define “growth” and “good”Go look at the place. there is growth everywhere. Keenum is doing a good job.
Money! The main reason they take a job!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?
We only win 3-4 games this year, but his offense might set school records. With a crappy defense, that means his offense gets to accumulate a lot of garbage time stats. So he will still look like an offense guru, if you only look at end of year stats.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.
I agree. He should get extra time because he is black. At least 5 years no matter what.And what exactly has Selmon done to piss off so many of you other than he is black?
His offense had less than 300 total yards last night and scored 16 net points. I generally like what he’s doing offensively. He just doesn’t have the talent this year on OL or RB to execute. But we won’t be setting any records this year.We only win 3-4 games this year, but his offense might set school records.

There has to be a better backup plan than who he hired.Lebby wanted Durkin but A&M tied him up for months during recruiting season
I don't disagree at allThere has to be a better backup plan than who he hired.
Better players are the problem. If we quit paying big NIL to the basketball players and baseball, then we could get a dominant front seven on defense.There has to be a better backup plan than who he hired.
True. Although I don’t think we’re allocating much to baseball either.Better players are the problem. If we quit paying big NIL to the basketball players and baseball, then we could get a dominant front seven on defense.
What are the odds that a true national search would come back with Selmon’s friend from Oklahoma as the best choice in the nation? Here’s how a lot of consulting contracts work. The consulting firm determines who the clients decision makers are. They interview them and find out what they want the recommendation to be. Then they churn some billable hours and come back & recommend exactly what the decision maker wants. That’s how you generate repeat clients & good client reviews.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?
Kiffin? Uh, no….he was hired by OM before we even fired Moorhead.Did State try to hire either Kiffin or Sark before they took their current jobs or did the cigar boys cry about them having too much baggage?
who is the biggest ******* our there with a little baggage that is a very good Defensive Coordinator? Go out and hire that ******* and pay him well and give him a pot of gold bars and say go get us a Walter Nolan and a Travis Hunter and a few more frat boy abusers who are not as big a puss as our frat boy abuser! No wonder he had to sucker punch the frat boy. Little frat boy would have kicked Russell's ***!
Define why he has to go. Don't just say something is bad. Athletics is not admissible because you don't fire the university president because of athletics.Define “growth” and “good”
Our defensive from got pushed around in the first game. It was evident THEN that we had severe problems there. Y'all better get used to it because it looks to be a talent problem to me.Better players are the problem. If we quit paying big NIL to the basketball players and baseball, then we could get a dominant front seven on defense.
Good points but create a chart.Define why he has to go. Don't just say something is bad. Athletics is not admissible because you don't fire the university president because of athletics.
Tell that to Penn State*****Define why he has to go. Don't just say something is bad. Athletics is not admissible because you don't fire the university president because of athletics.
That guy didn't get fired because of athletics. He got fired because of disgusting criminal behavior.Tell that to Penn State*****
But athletics is not the sole reason for the winds of change. More needs to be done that is not being done. And that’s not just for MSU, but also for the entire IHL.
Ask yourself why there is growth and you will see a huge problem.Go look at the place. there is growth everywhere. Keenum is doing a good job.
Which happened in a football program. So, yeah, it was because of athleticsThat guy didn't get fired because of athletics. He got fired because of disgusting criminal behavior.
Growth is Ole Miss having almost 3,000 more freshman than State this year.Define “growth” and “good”
Two things: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.
Lemonis may should have been fired but not because the fanbase wants it. I can't imagine a worse reason than trying to gyrate in whatever direction a fanbase is tilting at any given moment. It's way too early to assess anything about the football hire, but it's fine to not like it. I'm not in the know enough to have any idea how wide the search net was thrown and how many other more qualified candidates we have have turned down, or been turned down by, on the way to that hire, however, I bet that not a single SPS'r knows those details either.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.
I don't think that's correct. They have announced 5,240 freshmen this year. That would mean an almost record low for us after years of annual growth.Growth is Ole Miss having almost 3,000 more freshman than State this year.
That's not trueGrowth is Ole Miss having almost 3,000 more freshman than State this year.
They have not announced anything yet (5,241 is from last year) they sent an email to OM students and faculty on August 30th that they had 6,000+ first time freshman this year.I don't think that's correct.

This says 5600 first time residence hall students. That would include jucos but I can’t imagine there are many people that aren’t new to the school but are new to a residence hall.They have not announced anything yet (5,241 is from last year) they sent an email to OM students and faculty on August 30th that they had 6,000+ first time freshman this year.
We had 3,700 last year and I don't think it's going to be that much better and our growth has slowed or even declined since COVID, so it's 100% believable to me.

If a school that is called Ole Miss Rebels, whose school colors are Red, Blue and Confederate Gray isn’t being “nonplussed about any potential race issues” then why should I be? How do you know I’m not Black?Two things:
1) What has he failed at miserably so far? Genuine question.
2) Am I the only one who gets a kick of out of a user named @Leeshouldveflanked being nonplussed about any potential race issues
Damn dude you'll make anything about race.Two things:
1) What has he failed at miserably so far? Genuine question.
2) Am I the only one who gets a kick of out of a user named @Leeshouldveflanked being nonplussed about any potential race issues
I could see why employees are the #1 priority: no one wants to relocate to Starkville. Employee retention IS the #1 priority.This says 5600 first time residence hall students. That would include jucos but I can’t imagine there are many people that aren’t new to the school but are new to a residence hall.
