I always love these responses. If I gave you 10 names you wouldn’t know any of them probably or you’d scoff at them. Just like if we’d hired Cignetti 5 years ago, Sumrall 3 years ago or Stein last year
They would have all come ? I love people throwing out names with no idea if the names are even interested. We have fired people thinking that kind of thing before, and got a rude awakening.

Cignetti wanted an interview but didn’t get it. I know his agent.
Sumrall wanted the job when he was at Troy and interviewed but was never considered because Selmon had his man.
I have no idea on Stein but I just threw that out there because Ky fans and everyone else hadn’t even heard of him. So it fits the bill

That's what the AD is for. Go get Jason Eck or the wake head coach or see if the northwestern head coach would come. Look into Kane Womack and other coordinators. Y'all act like we can't double or triple some of these guys salaries
Remember when Willie Fritz was too old? Yeah. It wasn’t that he didn’t want State. State didn’t want pay Head Coach salary required to get him. Remember those other Head Coaches at G6 programs? The Oklahoma OC was cheaper to get.

We lost by 8 without K1. Let’s fire the coach because how it’s worked at UK and Indiana is exactly how it always works. There’s no way we’ll make aNOTHER bad hire. I mean 3rd times the charm right.

Not that much I think, lower it by a few million. We do have money to spend, but it still ranks near the bottom of the SEC.

I did not say that, and you know I didn’t say that. I have not said what i think of Lebby at all. I’m still firmly on the fence for now. If we are going to fire Lebby we better have a replacement already lined up that we firmly believe would be better. We damn well better gauge the interest in the job. Do NOT fire and then start looking.
Can’t do that in the current social media environment. Lebby and his staff would know who you are talking to 4 minutes after you hang up the phone. Have to go 3 levels deep 1990’s CIA style to gauge interest. A plane ride to a mountain top retreat or a secluded island off the coast of Cape Verde.

Honestly if Billy had not fumbled we could have scored 7 there and if Lebby had tried a couple field goals instead of going for it we could have had another 3 at least.

Imagine defending a coach that's 17ing 2-23 in the SEC in year 3. This isn't the 1990s, you can flip a roster in a year

Ah, the Rick Ray option. That is almost a literal quote from that time, and exact the sort of answer I expected.

Stansbury was many things and had lost it by the last 2-3 years but he did at least have some winning in his history.

Lebby has an SEC record of 3-18 that will probably be 4-21 at best by the end of the year.

We only lost by 8 because Oklahoma’s Groza award winning kicker had the worst game of his life.

We also allowed maybe the worst offense in the SEC to have its best game of the season.

It’s year 3 and we have not fixed anything on the LOS. And nothing about his current recruiting class tells me help is on the way.

I’m one who has been more patient with Lebby than most but at some point you are your record. And 11-21 (3-18) is not even Sylvester Croom level results.

First off, you're an idiot, second off, this is the first time I’ve agreed with you, third off, why can’t we just admit we couldn’t get a DC, can’t recruit, and arnette sucks

The view from Maine. We are terrible in every aspect of the game. Kamario is lightning in a bottle, but the rest of the team is just not good enough to compete in the SEC. Hate to admit it, but we need a fresh start. I see nothing that encourages me for the future.

Are you spiking the football in favor of Lebby because we have a Top 10 draft pick QB whose ceiling here is “maybe we’ll go 7-5 or 8-4 with him next year”?
Not spiking the football in favor of Lebby. Just saying he’s not all bad. He has to be given some credit for Taylor being a “Top 10 draft pick QB”. To pretend otherwise is just being dense.

That is like taking a test and making a 20 and talking about the 4 questions you got right.
Fact.

Add to that scenario that those 4 questions were:
1) what is your name?
2) what class is this?
3) when is your birthday?
4) do you want a passing grade?

To think Lebby did something no other coach could do is on the level of requiring proof that the poster isn’t Lebby himself or his mom.

Plenty of people had heard of Stein, especially people in KY.
