We gotta cut our losses and replace Rick Ray Jans as soon as we can.
He’s giving Kenny Payne a run at worst coach of the year award

As hard as it is to watch now, a team full of Matthews would be totally unwatchable.
If you’re not trolling this is one of the dumbest posts I’ve ever seen on here. Kenny Payne has a 2-17 record at LOUISVILLE. That seems almost impossible that a team with Louisville’s pedigree could be that bad. They won’t win five games this season.
Been waiting on that since Stan's last year, if not longer
I would be careful about saying things like that. They will kill you around here. C34 has spies everywhere.
WHAT the hell was that last possession about? Florida should have never been given that time out but of course, they brought their own referees today which helps.
Can’t make a fricking layup. Story of the season.
No Tolu in the game the final 34 seconds either. Game ends with two shots around the rim too.
Boy - that seems like a big personnel decision by Jans.

Based on the Grizzlies game last night and State’s game tonight, I predict the Cowboys will have a pass interference call that puts SF in go ahead FG range with about 3 seconds left.
Bench Tolu’s arse. He’s soft as baby schitt. McNair is better and it looks like Jans thinks so too.
Tolu murdered us in the first half. He needs some sort of reset to get right. Had to sit him most of the second half to make it a game.
On the out of bounds that they reviewed, the Florida player walked TWICE before passing the ball. Perfect trap. Ridiculous refs all night.
That's OK he would've either thrown it over the backboard or maybe, just maybe, gotten a foul and bricked both free throws.
Tolu is far from clutch. I didn’t mind him not being in. But, shi®t, we are really low on even serviceable basketball players.
How is the next guy going to get good players to Mississippi State outside of the occasional legacy?
We are not good and somehow every team we play seems to have great games against us. You have to really work hard to lose home games like this.
We have no leader and we are losing what little heart we have. Games just don't matter and we just can't win against even the worst teams when we play them at the hump.
Really sad to see. We just aren't reliably good at all. At any position. Top to bottom. Below average in every possible way.
We make mistakes that freshmen don't even make. Every single player is playing with very low confidence. It's really sad to see.
It's well known we are easy to beat. Cellar dwellers. Pitiful.

so soft. Other teams are laughing at his charmin softness.
Folks, this a rebuild project. It's going to take 2-3 years for Jans to get the players he needs into our system. Howland is a very good coach, but he could not get his teams to play the type D you need to win consistently. If he had Jans's defensive ability, Ben's teams would have made a couple to three more appearances in the Dance during his tenure. He was close, but could never get over the hump, so-to-speak to make the Dance more than the one time he did. Be patient with Jans. We'll get there. Just support the team as best we can and give them the motivation to play in front of big crowds. I think each year, we'll add 2-3 more wins that we didn't get this year. We're not going to the Dance unless we majically start hitting 3's like crazy. We did better tonight, but it needs to keep improving. I think Jans has now seen what kind of athletes all the other SEC teams have and realizes what it will take regarding recruiting. And of course it would help if he had some NIL $$ to work with for portal purchases.
The issue is not Jans having to get his players. The issue is that D1 players should be able to make free throws and point blank shots. We are shooting 61% from the free throw line. Against Georgia we shot 31% from the line. I can only imagine how frustrated the girlfriends of our players are right now knowing their man has trouble finishing around the hole. I'm not in the fire Jans crowd but there has to be some signs of improvement even if the final score doesn't fall in our favor. We are our own worst enemy.
I watch the women. They can actually do something the guy’s can’t-shoot. Total frustration.
There's actually a 6'5" girl on campus who probably still can't dunk, but she can damn sure nail a bunch of 10' turnaround jumpers.
Have the men hit one of those all season???
