EVER......We are MState !
A) He doesn't know anything.
B) Wait until we get our pants snatched down a few more times and see how that stadium looks. It's going to be bad.
Get ready for a "I was right when I said it but something changed." I don't know anything either. We may not make a change.

So that now means it's guaranteed right?
I dont expect a coaching change either.....but still think it could happen....
He's clueless. Why does anyone listen to him?
We fired a national championship winning baseball coach and went out and hired by far the best baseball coach available.
We just don’t take football seriously. It pisses me off.
To be clear, what we did in baseball doesn’t piss me off, I just wish we were that enthusiastic about football.

The overall tone of the interview is Bo pushing back every time Steve trying to tap the breaks. Steve isn’t arguing to keep him per se but he’s saying it’s bad luck & KT loves Lebby and he doesn’t expect a change.
If Steve has the pulse of the admin, we need to root for Tenn Tech

Hopefully his sources are as good in this as they were on K1 playing.
He’s probably not wrong in this case but I wouldn’t take his word on anything.
He doesn’t know anything and he’s out of the insider loop with the athletic department.

Isn't this apples and oranges?
I'm just a fan with zero inside knowledge, but I don't think we are capable of doing that in any sport that's not baseball; and especially not football.
Well, to be perfectly honest, if Kamario doesn't want a coaching change, there likely won't be a coaching change. Kamario is the 'Jimmy Chitwood' to our 'Norman Dale' (Lebby). Except of course Lebby couldn't hold a candle to Dale in building a winning program. Apparently for Lebby's offense to work you need an All-American QB. How many years will we have one of those?
1) He may not be wrong, but that is more about our inept, lazy administration than anything he "knows". They just want the check football provides. There is no desire to be good at it. That would require work.
2) I am retired and plenty of time to do what I want. I am not going to waste any of it listening to Steve R.

Steve or any of the pay board guys are not going to bite the hand that feeds by saying anything before Selmon is ready for them to say something. That doesn't mean he's wrong, but you can't presume he's right either.
Comparing our ability to hire in football like we do in baseball is somewhat ridiculous. And second, even winning a Natty shouldn't give you the right to run the program in the ground like Lemonis did for four seasons following the NC. We finally did what Lemonis forced us to do in baseball.

I would imagine if Lebby is on the chopping block, only a few in the AD department knows along with some boosters who Selmon needs to get money from not only for the buyout bur also money for new coach,
I'll assume you meant Lemonis and not Lebby. The writing was on the wall about Lemonis the FIRST SEASON AFTER the Natty. Then it was even more clear the SECOND SEASON AFTER the Natty. And THREE SEASONS AFTER the Natty same song different verse. And finally season 4 came to an end, it took SELMON 98 losses in baseball in the '22, '23, '24, and '25 season to make a change. That doesn't make me feel warm and fuzzy about a change coming in football. Geez I hope I'm wrong and Steve is too. After all, we call Steve "Rosie" for a reason
I'm getting old. If I see a chance at a good season, I want to capitalize on that change, even if it's not long term. I wish we had done that before the 2018 and 2023 seasons as well, but we made bad decisions both times. I don't want to screw this one up.
If we suck in 2028, and we will, you fire him. Then rebuild the roster quickly. It's worth it to have a possible playoff run in 2027.
Well, it's assuming that chalk holds., and we actually play a reasonable game against Auburn, beat TN Tech, and give a solid effort at Ole Miss.
If we got straight blown out in either SEC game or lose to TT, I think the heat just becomes too much and the whole thing collapses. It will then be one of our more chaotic offseasons in history.
He didn’t have an all American QB at Ole Miss, but had a very solid Oline with depth and a pretty darn good QB, TE, and WRs! So if we have to pay less for a good QB over can pay more for a solid Oline with depth, I’m okay with both leaving rather than being held hostage to a losing head coach . It has been proven THIS year that the right coach and a committed Administration and fan base can turn a program around immediately.
And then there is Duke: Mensah goes to Miami and Duke is still good, maybe even better!
I don't either. I expect him back next year and I think we will have a similar result. What makes anyone think next year will work out better? There is nothing more Mississippi State than having a once in a generation QB talent on the roster and waste him on the three straight years of 5 win seasons under the direction of an assclown. Kamario Taylor is going to be the biggest lost cause in the history of a school with a bunch of lost causes. It is going to be like the Lost Cause of the Confedarcy was to our great grandparent's generation. 30 years from now we are still going to be on this very same message board going on and on with "coulda, should, woulda" about the 2025, 2026, and 2027 seasons.
I’m not saying we can fire Lebby and then go hire Kirby from UGA, I’m just saying that our football program looks like it needs the old yeller treatment and we are just shrugging our shoulders
Said it’s a busin
Somebody is pushing the severance economics to him and Murray. Could very well be an intern or a loose lipped booster - who knows with the homeboy media; but to your point, nobody that really knows.
To be fair, we have never had one. Still don't. Just saying. Will we next year? One can hope!
It might be that Lebby is on the cusp but a win against AU turns the heat slightly down. AU and Tenn Tech are must wins.
Lebby wins out (almost impossible) and he is safe. Win AU and Tenn Tech and then blown out by Ole Miss and he could still possibly be fired, depending on how we look in the wins.
He gets the crap kicked out of him by AU and then barely beat Tenn Tech, then Ole Miss is a must win.

We fired a national championship winning baseball coach a year too late and got lucky on timing with our current coach.
Let's call it as it actually happened.
Not on the same scale but still ironic that the same thing happened with Omarr Conner. Taylor is better than Conner but we could have been much, much better in 2004-2006 had we simply had a coach that would have just attempted to run an offense suitable to him.
If Kamario says he only stays if Lebby is here in 2027 then you have to roll the dice with Lebby one more year. It would be stupid to lose a generational talent like Kamario to make a change when we see how KT can fluorish in this system if healthy. BUT, somebody has to FORCE Lebby to get a serviceable backup behind KT for 2027. With our current OL personnel and coaching issues, probably better than 50/50 chance that KT won't make it healthy through 2027 either. KT is not built highly durable like I'm seeing with guys like Arch and Leavitt. His frame is too thin.
We lost to an absolutely awful Vandy at home. UM could name the score at Oxford.
it blows my mind with this record, and the past couple years, that MSU still has anyone associated with the program who says "let's see how it goes against a bad Auburn team and try to make it competitive against UM".
And if that is ANY of the thought in the admin. The offices need to be cleared out with tear gas canisters and staff completely overhauled.
Fact:
If the athletic department was sad about ticket sales this season, just wait until next season under the same coach that had fans not wanting to buy tickets this season. Firing him would be considered an investment in the program.

Matt Wyatt said the same in his video last night. Said "this just doesn't FEEL like a situation where you make a change". low expectations
