The answer is simple. They hire dynamic offensive coaches and recruit explosive players. And we just don't.
Why does Mississippi win these big games with some regularity, and we never do?
- Thread starter patdog
- Start date
It's not just a coach. Outside of a handful of players we don't have any talent on this team on either side of the ball. I'm sure glad we got Alabama LSU over with early in this season. Maybe we can salvage something from this season before Ole Miss beats the hell out of us.
“And recruit explosive players”.
...and yet they really don't win over the long haul....dunno.
Because they cheat their a$$ off and get away with it.
We embrace losing. From top to bottom. Someone from our defensive staff should be fired already. Only losers would accept it. We do.
Kiffin has beaten LSU twice. Biggest win of his career there tonight
Booger eater comment. There is no cheating anymore. There are those who want to win and losers who complain about how winners win.
Ole miss is willing to do what it takes to win. Granted, tonight was Kiffins biggest win outside of a 7-5 Tennessee team in 2021. But they go get offensive playmakers, constantly recruit to upgrade the most important position on the field, create dynamic offenses, not afraid to spend on coaching and recruiting, push NIL, and upgrade their facilities, etc. We don’t do any of these things. Cohen set this program back years and Selmon will have to do a lot to fix it
From what I’ve seen of Selmon so far, he’s worse than Cohen. Larry Templeton 2.0.
Honestly I’d be embarrassed to be an ole miss fan for a litany of reasons, not the least of which is storming the field after beating a suspect LSU team. What a bunch of delta bravos…

It is not cheating now
Like Arnett, he may be in over his head. The non-firing of Lemonis is inexcusable. Either you want to win, or you don’t. We don’t.
And holy **** do I want both to succeed, but the early returns aren’t promising.
ETA: Our secondary is the worst in the FBS
Our last three hires before this one were considered dynamic offensive coaches, at least at the time.
Based on what I’ve seen - we won’t!
Our season is over and it’s just now October.
I sure hope basketball is as good as we all hope and expect - I’m just not so sure?
Too many really good teams in the SEC.
I agree.
They embarrassed themselves after a good win by storming the field.
LSU wasn’t even a Top 10 team.
If Cohen set this program back years then Templeton set us back decades.
Their only real difference in the two rosters is offensive minded head coach and a mobile QB that can hit an open receiver and arm strength to stretch the field. You only have to defend 20 yards from the line of scrimmage against MSU.
This is it. If Zack Morris keeps trotting Will out there, we'll know that losing doesn't bother him that much. If winning is the most important thing to him he'll make changes and upset the apple cart.
Well ... it looks like we won't have to worry about that any time soon.
Defensively, our personnel is WAY different. We have big beefy guys in the front 7. We can actually stop the run when we commit to it. Ole Miss can not stop the run. We can’t get a pass rush or cover anyone.
Ole Miss is FAST defensively. They have speed everywhere. They can rush the passer and they can cover. Because of their speed, they are better defensively than us.
Ole Miss and State Oline is equal. Mediocre. Their QBs are light years better. Their wide receivers are light years better as a group (we do have Tulu). Their running backs are better as a group. Their tight ends are better as a group. We have none. They better offensively and it’s not really close.
We have better special teams players and schemes.
Our personnel is not close. Speed kills. They have it. We don’t.
Bingo. Our players are too slow to really compete against the football teams that we play. Think about it . . . in almost every one-on-one matchup, our opponent is much faster and can easily outrun the Mississippi State player.
That's just the way it is, and there's nothing we can do about it for the remainder of this season.
Simple. It’s more important to them.

gotta look at the ROI. Is $25M worth a win over LSU every few years and a bowl game? Admissions and enrollment, giving to the University... At some point the loss on NIL is not worth it honestly. You would be about the same with a team that sucks. For Vandy, its certainly not worth it, they already have what they need in areas mentioned.
They really haven't won more big games than us in recent history. I seem to remember Leach winning more big games against ranked opponents than Kiffin did during the same time-span. Before this win, I would say Kiffin's biggest win might have been against Arkansas?
The same reason they have a huge let down loss right after most of those big wins - they feed off emotion. Just like their head coaches. Just like their fans.
If the Razorbacks just follow the script, the universe will be back in balance this week.
