I admit that I go to elitedawgs from time to time for a good laugh. The rumor over there is that the entire football staff has been informed that its 7 wins or everybody will be fired. If that isn't enough for you, Tom Herman and Scott Frost has reached out for the job if it comes open. We can't even make it to the first game without the rumors mill starting.

Let that be a lesson about going to ED

I don’t buy it, very unprofessional. No reason to put that ultimatum out there. If in fact it needs to be done you just do it at the end of the season, no point in making that threat before the season starts. Can’t imagine any coach putting up with that and if that’s how business is done in the Ath Dept we won’t attract any decent coach.

Mississippi State - the most toxic fanbase in Merica.

Thanks Keenum for hiring this clown of an AD.
Buddy, I lived in Baton Rouge, work a lot in Oxford, and have family that are Alabama fans. We are far from the most toxic fans. Also, who do you hate Selmon and who would you hire to replace him? I think he is doing good.

Benko, who we should have hired from the beginning. But there’s a lot of better ADs than Sappy Salmun.

Agree is not only an ignorant comment but just plain stoopid

Benko who was basically told to look around at Georgia Southern and is now an assistant AD at…wait for it… Auburn… Auburn is very close to cutting ties with Cohen and all his deputies, who in all honesty put us in a position where his idea is fundraising was drain the rainy day fund and his idea is NIL was signed baseballs… I don’t think you understand anything when it comes to to how ATH departments work.

None of that could be true. We've never fired a coach for 6 wins in a season for on field performance. It won't happen this year either.

Since we enjoy nepotism at MSU, I believe Lebby will get a raise and extension for winning 4 games. Nevermind that attendance is going to be the worst most of us have seen in our lifetimes. Last year did it for me as far as our coaches are concerned. I respect if others feel differently.

I’d take Herman, Frost, Zach Arnett, Pete Golding etc… anyone vs what we have now. I can’t imagine I’m alone. Keep in mind we kept Hutzler after 2024.

If he were a retread coasting into retirement, I could buy 6 or more. 7 sounds ridiculous unless there's some no brainer hire that we would have lined up to replace him.

He's a young guy with an exciting offense. If he gets 6 wins this year and looks competitive against the better part of the SEC schedule, we're going to have to extend and raise him to keep him. So given that, I call BS.

and here you are coming from over there to here starting a thread about "the ultimate rumor mill" as well "before the first game"

Benko is a clown and Cohen and all of his cronies will be fired in the next year

what is it specifically that makes Benko "a clown"? I've never heard anything negative about him at all and when he left he got lots of sincere congrats and best wishes.

I seriously doubt an ultimatum but I don’t disagree. DS posted about how would you feel about 6 wins which is similar conversation. We’ve been embarrassing for too long. Lebby is 1-15 in conference. Win now or gtfo

From the same people who were also clowns here and are about to get canned by Auburn

The must win 7 rumor started from a podcast by Chris Phillips of SEC Unfiltered. He talks about it at the 3 minute 30 second mark....


Yea. There was literally a thread on here discussing this guy saying it too. This isn't an ED spun up thing.

Think about it - it's far too short and quick of a line with no dumbass nickname to have originated from ED.

1. ********.
2. Having a QB like Kamario Taylor gives Lebby the opportunity to be the next Gene Chizik- Good qb, wins games possibly with a nc. Suck the next year and get canned afterwards.
3. If MSU finds itself HC shopping, the coach at GT is the ONLY answer.

Anything would be better than what we have now. Can’t be dumb AND lazy. It’s a shame he wasn’t filtered out during the initial interview. But we Shoulda cleaned house after last year. Record low numbers this year will force the administration to act by Halloween.
