Just taking off my maroon glasses again…and I will get bashed for this but I personally find it hard to hate Lane and is drive.
OM happens to have one of the better on the field offensive minds in the nation, along with a coach that refuses to give in to the basic cigar approach. He’s brash as 17 and a future NFL coach. Dude was born to coach football. I think people discount all of his good because of how he wins. Fact being, players love him and other coaches can’t figure him out. A recipe for success, as long as cigs get out of his way.
In saying that, I hope he leaves OM sooner than later but unfortunately, I see his next stop being back on the West coast with an NFL team.
Meanwhile, we have a younger version of Lane, who leaned a lot from him personally, I’m sure…and I hope he follows his teachings as Lane was able to learn as he progressed through ups and downs.
Instead of pointing fingers and being jelly, I’ve come to a realization of appreciating what Lane has brought to this new era of football…his situation mirrors ours…and he’s laid out the path for success in our similar landscapes.
The Leb hire was very smart along several key areas of this new era….even if we don’t keep him long, he will lay the ground as to which our type of program must follow to succeed in this landscape.
So, as we progress though the Leb era, keep in mind that his background was laid by one of the better coaches in college football, who happens to coach that gdam school up north. Be appreciative to both and enjoy our current situation with knowing, it will only get better as Leb goes.
Here’s to hoping we can keep a fresh mind and intact coaching staff longer than 4 years in a row,
Cheers,
Lettuce
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard claims of Johnny Reb putting us on the ropes and taking the next step. That may or not be true this time but I wouldn’t bet on it.
Your opinions are biased with a condescending tone. If Ole Miss was having an average season, you wouldn’t be over here giving your opinion. I bet you’re wearing your red polo tucked into your pleated jeans with braided belt, argyle socks, and penny loafers right now thinking about how important you and your opinions are, and for some reason think State fans give a damn about them.
The birth rate in the US declined about 16 years ago and on top of that, fewer people 18-24 are attending college. The working theory is that these factors will cause college enrollment to drop sharply within the next few years.
Kind of like our baseball program “pulled away” in ‘21. [/FAAAAARRRRRRRRT].
Then be so bold as to use your real name in your profile.
It's easy to be a turd when you do it anonymously.
My tone? My biased opinions? My you have an EGO...why would I care one****about your opinion of my 'tone.'
If you have an argument to make use facts. Your use of insults reflects your false sense of entitlement as well as your stupendous lack of sophistication.
How is it a one year program that returns their whole offense, including QB and RB in their 3rd year? I don’t know why everyone acts like it’s a swinging door in Oxford. Not all transfers have 1 year of eligibility. Not to mention that they are also recruiting HS players at a high level. So adding transfers isn’t coming at a cost to them.
Just picked up the best portal WR in juice wells also. They are all in and on another level right now
Thank you for your contribution to this board, diickeater
Who said it was? They're signing a bunch of guys for one year. They're burning all their money on one season. I don't blame them either. But overall, they aren't building a huge talent gap overall. Just for next year's all.
Uh, you did..........You said, and I quote, "How is signing A player for a year, pulling away from a talent standpoint".
Bottom line is they're pulling more and better players from the portal than we are and it's happening every year and will continue to do as long as Kiffen is there. It sucks donkey balls but it's the cold, hard truth.
They're signing guys for one year. You misunderstood my post. Signing one year players isn't going to give them some big advantage overall. They're a playoff team next year with that schedule. Their HS recruiting isn't special. Let them keep blowing money. If they don't win big, it's a waste. When that schedule rolls up after next season, things even out even more.
They are freaking killing us with the new rules. Give them credit. They figured out how to play it and are all in. We’re way behind.
Oh I don’t know about that. I was just explaining what the enrollment cliff is.
Right now, at least for next year, I would put OM only behind AL, GA and maybe TX in the SEC. I'm not surprised they are beating us so badly on portal players but what I am surprised at is them beating pretty much everyone else in the SEC as well. Buying players has always been a favorite pasttime in Oxford but they have really taken it to another level now that its legal.
What’s happening is Mississippi was ahead of almost everyone in realizing how to work the new landscape of recruiting, both HS and transfer. Over time, the true blue bloods will eclipse what they are doing. But for now, they’re on the cutting edge. And they’ll win a lot of games the next couple of years.
And when you win a lot of games and go to high profile bowl games its a lot of easier to convince better players to come to your school. And when you get better players its easier to win a lot of games and go to the playoffs and then it's a lot easier....well some of you get it. It's a cycle that we threw in the garbage last year. We screwed the pooch and that is why we are stealing juco guys from South Alabama and they are signing big time prospects. They have got it rolling up there.
Spot on. We should of embraced Leach, what he built and his legacy. what we have now is a rusted out beater sitting up on cinder blocks. Arnett and his brain trust made the program a loser and a laughing stock. Very hard sell.
It almost looks like the IHL stepped in and said the only way for the State of Mississippi to compete in the SEC and thus on a National level is for there to be only ONE successful Football program. So they encouraged the hiring of Arnett and his Clown Show along with all those no talent Mississippi HS coaches to sabotage State!
Almost.
Almost.
IHL had nothing to do with this. Actually, historically, both MSU and UM have either sucked together or been good together more often than one been successful while the other sucked.
Same for us. We had them buried after Nutt and couldn't finish them off(in fairness they cheated their arses off under Reverend Hugh), and also after the Freezus scandal and Fat Luke. They looked to have us dead in the water at the end of Jackie and beginning of Croom, then Eli left, they ran off Cut, and hired Eddie O. Also, had us buried after finishing as the hottest team in college football at the end of 08 then getting ranked #4 in the nation in 09. Thank God for Mullen, and by the end of the year we'd whipped that *** and started to pass them. No one would've thought anything like that after the end of 08 going into the 09 season. No doubt in my mind they'll do something to frick this up.
Would you rather beat Ole Miss 3 straight times with 6-6 or 7-5 State seasons or lose 3 straight to Ole Miss but finish 10-2 every one of those years going forward.
