Lebby crying wolf…
- Thread starter dawgstudent
- Start date
Not that I’m confident that he is going to make this OL work but I believe he was pretty open that the OL sucked last spring. It may have been later on in Spring though.
Either way words mean nothing now. He’s got to put up or get out
You don't think we were better? He wasn't lying.
You think the OL is worse? I don't. And I think it's more talented overall and deeper. But, experience is the question. I just can't see any way it could be worse than last season. One legged midgets would be better than last year.
I was there, Gandalf. I was there when the strength of [dawgs] failed.
WAY too early for me to be stressing about the 2026 football season.
You guys are gonna love this. They have a faculty and staff appreciation day scheduled for March 31. A Tuesday. From 10am to noon. LOL.
We lost 3 starters to other P4 programs & replaced them with a bunch of young guys who have virtually 0 playing time. Good luck breaking that OL in in the SEC.
The guys we had last years sucked, no matter where they went.
His win % as state’s head coach is far superior to Lebby’s.
Yep…. I wouldn’t be convinced Lebby would get 8 wins over the next 2 years.
Going from 2 wins to 5 wins (including winning an SEC game, winning against actually ranked team,being competitive with top tier teams) was night and day different. If wins go up 3 more this year. I will be pretty happy.
What was the context of the statement?
I recall it was sec media days. But that was over 40 years ago. So... can't remember exactly.
Also reminds me of being a naive little kid. Other kids, fans of other schools, calling "Emory a Memory" made me fighting mad. But... he truly was after that season.
At least we have a QB that can run like hell. Our backup QB used to be one of the top QB's in the country until he sued Flarda for not paying his NIL contract. I'm pumped about the potential for the defense as well. Just don't set the bar higher than 3 wins and we can sit back and enjoy the season. Whatever we put on the field, it will still be more exciting than what Jans puts on the court as far as I'm concerned.
I think he is bullshitting, but what the hell is he supposed to say?
I mean they were much better last year. It was night and day difference. The day was awful with the sun blacked out and it often felt like I was in pure agony such as when my wife watches Gilmore Girls for litterly the 57th time and I end throwing things at the TV, but hey, at least it was day.
No we were better for sure. And I expect to be better again. And as usual by the season start I will have tricked myself into thinking we are gonna be contenders again. And as usual around game 4 I will snap back to reality. I am excited about Arnept, Taylor, and hopeful that they can create an OL out of these young guys. That is without a doubt the key to it all. IF Loadholt can build a cohesive OL. Big IF
We lost James who this time last year was going through spring at Maryland. He got his feelings hurt.. we lost Owens who this time last spring was at Colorado… did you watch him this past year? We lost Lewis who was graded out as the worst LT in all of power 4. He was a sometimes starter.
I would have thought some of you all would have kept up with a little bit of the team
We were better. I’ve wondered if Shapen was on the take …his pass at FL and then Texas end of game driving for win he basically dropped the ball for a sack. Now that I’ve convinced myself it was on Shapen I can think about 26. OL will be worse. No way it’s better that’s where you win lose Loadholt is the problem. Watch our OL transfers be good at MZ as they roadgrade teams with Hardy
. 3-9 
I tried my best to have some optimism last season. The close losses to FL and TX were infuriating, but showed we weren't that far off from being competitive in the SEC. And when Taylor was named the starter at the end of the season, I started to think that next year might be better.
And then the entire team came out hungover and uninspired for the bowl game and got their arses handed to them. I actually like Lebby's system on offense and I know that Arnett can coach a defense. But if Lebby can't manage and run a team, none of that matters.

Game 2 at Minnesota should be enough to bring you back down.
Just because they're not worse that last year doesn't mean they're not still bottom of the SEC (likely bottom of FBS).
Being better than last year is an incredibly low bar.
Why? Because he had a good half of a quarter against Arkansas whose defense was worse than ours?
Why would you have expectations with a guy that is 0-2 as a starter and doesn’t know how to read half a field yet.
They won’t be bottom of FBS. But bottom of the P2 conferences may not be too far off.
There's only 138 schools in FBS. I'll be surprised if our O-Line is in the Top 100
I said my optimism was for next year. As he got more playing time, I could see the raw talent and hoped that by next year he would be able to read a defense, know the playbook better, etc.
Yall remember the Iron Dawgs during the Kang Reign?
I got a couple of posters in a box somewhere
