Dickert is 1A or 1B on my list along with Jason Eck..

I’m a lot more eh on Manny. I think he’s a solid floor / limited ceiling coach. Would easily be our best coach since Leach, though.
What he said. Saw a Jason Eck interview yesterday. Fully believe he could be our Cignetti since we could have but didn't hire Cignetti

Yeah he left Starkville twice, after only one year, for bigger opportunities. Why would Diaz come here? He can wait it out at Duke for a larger opportunity in a city.
Agree, neither one of those guys is taking this job. They're winning where they are at a P4 school. Why would you leave there to take over a losing program? I don't see it.

Has absolutely nothing to do with espn.
You have lost my original point, but fine. BO BOUNDS IS NOT OFFICIALLY AFFILIATED WITH ESPN!!!!

I said it. How's that? Feel better? You are acting like you're jealous of him.

Anyway. My point was that Bo has the right to an opinion on the Mississippi State coaching position, whether because he's on the radio (*NOT ON ESPN THOUGH*) or simply because he's an alumnus of Mississippi State. I take offense at olemiss posters thinking any opinion of theirs on this matter is more legitimate than Bo's, especially on a Mississippi State message board. I think they do it to sow confusion and division. And some posters here go along with their bulllshit because they don't like Bo for whatever reason.

But yeah, Bo is NOT with ESPN for sure, so let's be clear on that.

Unlike what some of you all think. We have money we just have a reluctant fan base. A new coach would re engage this fanbase for sure. Dont take my word for it. This was Selmon yesterday

I was just going off of what I have seen in several places as our estimated nil.

Hilarious that so many of you RuNdAbAwLeRs are now completely off the Lennywagon. I mean, there was plenty of time to correctly be on that wagon, but right now is not that time. If anything, now is when ya'll need to be supporting him.

But like always, MSU fans can never really read the room, and it's why we historically suck.

What are we waiting on?
If we are hiring Manny Diaz for anything but DC we might as well keep Lebby and let him figure it out. I’ll never understand state fans obsession with coaches that couldn’t get the job done at schools with unlimited resources and wanting to hire them here. I remember when yall were dead *** about hiring 17ing Les Miles for gods sake. Now we want Middie Diaz? Jeebus H Christ. You mfs get crayons and coloring books for Christmas, i swear.

He needs to go be a coach somewhere and show that he can manage a roster/ staff. He likely has a lot of promise but the longer he stays where he is, it looks more like lack of drive.
Well, sir, we at Mississippi State believe in giving the unproven the chance to prove themselves at a handsome salary and low expectations. Sounds like we might be a match.

Granted his numbers at Miami we pedestrian at 21-15 but he’s likely to win 9 games for the third year in a row at Duke. Overall he’s 44-26
By contrast lane was 28-15 at USC. Coukd we do better than Diaz maybe but he’s still be a good hire
