was a huge, massive, enormous mistake. A complete lack of originality on the AD's. part. Just completely unprepared for today. All those halftime adjustments during the USC and Mizzou games? Fools gold.

One damn loss and your back calling Lebby names. We are ranked 17th, we are 4-1 with winnable games left. WTF does this staff have to do to get you and others on board. It’s pretty stupid how some of you act. We have two …2 sec wins including a win on the road at Minn… a team you said was going to …push out shite in..He’s about the best we could get at the time so this whole convo is pretty pointless
But it does illustrate that Lenny doesn’t have a plan
You simply don't know ball. We just don't have the players yet. Give it another year to recruit better.was a huge, massive, enormous mistake. A complete lack of originality on the AD's. part.

We on the Croom plan again??You simply don't know ball. We just don't have the players yet. Give it another year to recruit better.
True. State needs someone who can mold average defensive players into 5 star players to overcome the screwups on offense.![]()
Your ignorance shouldn’t surprise me yet it doesWe on the Croom plan again??
Jakldawg is just a troll. Last time he sent a message was Nov '25. Before that is was Nov '22, before that Nov '21 (you know Egg Bowl month). Just a troll looking for a fish
Here are the facts:Arnett is becoming one of the weirdest phenomenon we have ever had regarding this fanbase. It's like you either have to love him or hate him, and there is no in between. Personally I didn't love the news of him coming back, but I am able to look through all that not just blindly love him or hate him.
Overall I have seen some improvement in the defense. Some of this was going to happen no matter what just with having better personnel this year than in years prior. Whitson, Smith, Jones ... there is some talent on the roster. I also think Arnett has done a pretty good job from an eye test standpoint. Guys aren't completely out of position like in past years.
However, anyone that blindly defends him is wrong too. We are 14th in the SEC in total defense with over a third of the season completed. This number could be a little skewed by the level of competition we have played. We may be able to to get better when we play some teams that aren't as good on offense such as Auburn, Vandy and Ole Miss. But as for right now we are 2 spots from the bottom. It's a long season and things can turn around but at this moment I would give him a C or C- grade.
You have horribly unrealistic expectations if you think they can turn around one of the worst defenses in the country in one yearWe on the Croom plan again??
Arnett is the Dan Mullen of defensive coordinators. He can make sub par talent look good against good teams. Against elite teams, we won't have a chance. Obvious statement but Arnett's attacking style lets you have deficiencies in talent and still have a decent defense.was a huge, massive, enormous mistake.

So why couldn’t a good DC get an on field job anywhere except UNLV until we rehired him?Here are the facts:
- He's a good DC, he's proven that;
- He's not exactly best suited for a quick strike offense, and that's what we have;
- He showed some questionable decision making in 2023, for certain.
I give him a pass for #3, he was young and impressionable, and our nimrod fanbase was so happy to be rid of the Air Raid he almost had no choice but to oblige them. After that, eh, he'll likely move on this year.
Apparently one school has no problem with it.
I mean you have to work your way back from setbacks. He made a stupid asss decision during 2023 and he paid for it.So why couldn’t a good DC get an on field job anywhere except UNLV until we rehired him?
We’re 14th out of 16 teams in total defense.I mean you have to work your way back from setbacks. He made a stupid asss decision during 2023 and he paid for it.
But you can’t watch our team during the time he was DC and say he didn’t do a good job.
Some of that has to do with our offense not matching our defense. And that’s on Lebby.We’re 14th out of 16 teams in total defense.
We were 16 out of 16 in 2024 & it wasn't close for 15th, we were 15th last year because UPIG was even worse than us. We are kinda competitive this year which is a tremendous improvement.We’re 14th out of 16 teams in total defense.
