"Jeff Lebby at Mississippi State.
I consulted some people very close to the program today, who shall remain nameless, per their request, because I had to get a feel of where Mississippi State fans were on Jeff Lebby. Now, my best guess is that he would land at a C plus. In my personal opinion, I would go B minus to maybe even B because of where the program was, and then the fact that he pulled them from two and ten in his first year to five and eight last year.
But last year, the five and eight included one possession losses to Texas, to Tennessee and to Florida. So, it was one of those teams that was probably a lot better than the record indicated they were. Now, that's the so far.
So, I think maybe the fan base would look and say, we don't care, we lost the games. I don't ever look at it that way, especially with Mississippi State. If it was Georgia, I would look at it that way.
You lost close to Texas, okay, you're Georgia. That's a loss. Tennessee, you're Georgia.
That's a loss. I don't look at Mississippi State the same way. So, I put them in a B minus, maybe even a B.
But I understand if the fan base would go C plus. Now, they got a lot to prove this year because there's a ton of churn on the roster there, but it could all be covered up with either development, evaluation, or Camario Taylor going off at quarterback, or ideally, all of the three, in which case Mississippi State's like the surprise of the league. So C plus, and I will grant you, I expect pushback on this, because they're going to be, there's a Mississippi State fan out there that would put an A minus on him right now.
But I promise you, sir or ma'am in Tupelo, or Natchez or Hattiesburg, what have you, Philadelphia, Yazoo City, I just name them, I can assure you that as much as you want to give them an A minus, I received correspondence in the C minus range. So, there would be a wide range and I had to average it out.
So that's where we are on Jeff Lebby right now."
