Spirit already hyping themselves up

[o_dawgnabit]

They seem to be fully invested in making sure they get Arch Manning as their savior at QB. Keep in mind, the kid is only a freshman in HS....

If Arch’s dad is Cooper Manning he is definitely coming to Ole Miss....

 

[MSUDC11]

Sure the kid has great genes, but leave it to Ole Miss to be banking on a kid who doesn't even have his learner's permit yet to be their savior. The funny thing is that they've actually had good QB play the last few years and have still sucked. Future QB's should be the least of their concerns right now.

I think its safe to say the kid is going to be a stud. But as long as David Cutcliffe is around and coaching, him going to OM won’t be a sure thing. They hired Cutcliffe more or less to secure Eli, because even he wasn’t a done deal before that. Then you see that he just put a Top 10 pick in the NFL who is already blowing up as a rookie, its going to be a compelling case.

 

[LexSCDOG]

bet he goes to Duke

 

[bulldognation]

Remember when we thought Dylan Favre would be every bit as good as his Uncle Brett?
Yeah... sometimes it doesn't work out the way you thought it would.

Archies career college stat's amazed me, I thought he did much more. No

[Shmuley]

Excellent proving ground for his later stint with the saints.

 

[msudawg200]

Remember when we thought Dylan Favre would be every bit as good as his Uncle Brett?
Yeah... sometimes it doesn't work out the way you thought it would.

No?

 

[Go Budaw]

Haha, what? Nobody thought that. And Arch as a 9th grader is already bigger than Dylan was as a senior. And is playing much tougher competition to boot.

 

[Shmuley]

What a steaming pile of **** that program is.

 

[RiverCityDawg]

Remember when we thought Dylan Favre would be every bit as good as his Uncle Brett?
Yeah... sometimes it doesn't work out the way you thought it would.

Literally no one thought that.

 

[Xenomorph]

I hear the kid is a heavy Texas lean right now.

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

So was Archie's NFL career a product of the early Saints franchise or was the early Saints franchise a product of Archie's NFL career?

 

[preacher_dawg]

So basically all hope the football program has left is the Manning family.

 

[Dawgg]

Remember when we thought Dylan Favre would be every bit as good as his Uncle Brett?
Yeah... sometimes it doesn't work out the way you thought it would.

Um... no. Nobody thought that.

 

[Cooterpoot]

He’s not that impressive anyway

 

[PineGroveBully]

That and resegragation.

 

[AlCoDog]

I can’t wait until one of Dak’s grandkids is in the 9th grade.

 

[IPMdawg]

And they may hire him again to secure Arch.

 

[BossDawg78]

The funny thing is that they've actually had good QB play the last few years and have still sucked. Future QB's should be the least of their concerns right now.

What's really funny is they aren't thinking about Arch being an above-average QB and being a "savior". They are wanting him simply for the notoriety it will bring. To them, attention equals success.

 

[MeridianDog]

I can’t wait until one of Dak’s grandkids is in the 9th grade.

When that happens, Dan will offer an option on a house in Starkville! No sense in waiting until the last minute.

 

[Bulldogg31]

One of Ole Miss’s biggest shortcomings (and they are legion) is a lack of patience.

They’ve had several good coaches in there that they’ve run off at the first sign of trouble and look where it’s gotten them.

Whoever they hire next year will be their 8th head coach since 1994, with each lasting an average of 3 years. How the hell are you supposed to build anything like that?

 

[TrueMaroonGrind]

Remember when we thought Dylan Favre would be every bit as good as his Uncle Brett?
Yeah... sometimes it doesn't work out the way you thought it would.

Dylan thought that and I think he was the only one.

 

[bulldogcountry1]

So, fire everyone, and things will get better. Got it.

 

[DancingRabbit]

In other plantation news, the PAC12 says suck it.

Halfway through the article, it shifts from the PAC12 to OM fans, says some camera angles show he scored - and it didn't show the camera angle that showed he was short.

Started thinking, what the heck, then scrolled up and saw it was a CL writer.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2019/09/23/pac-12-finds-refs-ruled-correctly-on-controversial-ole-miss-cal-play/2417256001/

 

[The Peeper]

Is there another school anywhere that would base the hire of their next chancellor, AD and head football coach on a pimple faced, 15 year old that at this point is more interested in counting his pubic hairs and playing w/ his little pee pee than playing football in Oxford?

 

[Bulldogg31]

Ha, yep. Guess so and now they want to do it again.

Honestly giving Luke a couple more seasons wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world for them. He’s not a great coach but neither will be the next guy they hire. He’s at least a hard worker and recruits pretty well. Give him and those good assistants a couple of seasons and they might figure it out.

Look at the SEC coaches that have been hired in the last few seasons:

Chad Morris - bad hire
Matt Luke - bad hire
Derek Mason - meh
Barry Odom - pretty good I guess
Jeremy Pruitt - bad hire
Will Muschamp- bad hire
Ed Orgeron - actually really good hire
Dan Mullen - pretty good hire
Jimbo Fisher - bad hire, IMHO
Kirby Smart - Great hire
Joe Moorhead - jury still out but by these comparisons a pretty good hire.

The others are Malzahn (meh) Stoops and Saban who have been good to great for their respective schools. Stoops in particular has been given time to build something and they’re WAY better than he found them.

So 7 of these 11 new guys are either average or bad. You can’t just throw the SEC logo out there anymore and expect to get a great coach.

Chances are Ole Miss will hire another bust who will be gone in 3 years.

[Wizard.sixpack]

Chad wasn’t as good as uncle Jim but he was a pretty good college QB

I think its safe to say the kid is going to be a stud. But as long as David Cutcliffe is around and coaching, him going to OM won’t be a sure thing.

Then you see that he just put a Top 10 pick in the NFL who is already blowing up as a rookie, its going to be a compelling case.

Yep! Cutcliffe was not your normal coach that The Network usually wants. Cutcliffe wanted to do recruiting the right way, and didn't agree with the Network way, but The Network did not want to take a chance on losing another Manning. So they hired Cutcliffe. If they hadn't they probably would have lost Eli. Then they moved on to Coach O and he helped to sophisticate and modernize The Network method of recruiting,
