Miss State hires Jeff Lebby

Part of the Art Briles tree. So copy of Knoxville scheme.
Not a bad hire. The future of college football is NOT running 47 plays.
On the surface, this seems like it could be a really good hire. He’s had some really good offenses and worked for some damned good offensive minds. Has some swag to him, which will help on the recruiting trail. It’s a gamble, but man, short of another Leach type find this seems like a good hire for them.
I'm guessing Napier is safe at Florida. If they were going to fire him they probably would have done it today.
Their fans said he was promised 4 years, I haven't looked but their schedule next fall is suppose to be a tough one. Not sure Billy can survive 3 losing seasons in a row, the AD is liked very much either.
When you return one and then score on two plays, you tend to decrease your # of plays. Scored 38 points, are you gonna bitch about that?
The offense wasn't the problem for # of plays yesterday.
The defense allowed UL a 14 play 9 minute drive on their first possession and total time of possession for the game was almost 2:1 in UL favor.
Defense couldn't get the ball back in the first half which really limited our opportunities for offensive plays.

Would you have felt better if UK had run 80 plays & lost?
That was a shock collar. MB put one on him last night to keep him on campus for a few weeks.
What about the rest of the games? Seems like we purposely ran as few as possible. Especially when we're letting the play clock run all the way down the majority of the time???
Not disagreeing, and do realize UK had one of the slowest paces in all of college football, but the 47 plays in the Louisville game were exacerbated by two 8-9+ minute drives by Louisville and our defenses inability to get off the field. (was a problem all year) We only ran two offensive plays the entire third quarter, yet scored 14 points.
People talk about Mitch on here, but Florida takes the cake when it come to incompetent AD's making football hires...at a football school. And one of those AD's (Jeremy Foley) is considered one of the best AD's SEC history. Mitch has made 4 football hires as an AD...3 of them were good and 1 was terrible. All of those hires have come at non-football tradition schools in Oregon State and UK. Look at what the past 2 AD's at Florida have done in the past 10+ years:
Will Muschamp
Jim McElwain
Dan Mullen
Billy Napier
Those guys are a combined 95-62 at Florida. Reminds me of Bama in the year leading up to Saban. Incompetent hire after incompetent hire.
Solid hire. Young guy who's been a part of some fun productive offenses at UCF, Baylor, Ole Miss and Oklahoma. I think everywhere he's been the O was top 10-20.
He's been on the radar and call lists for a year or two now and kind of in the group of young guys who are next up in CFB.
Kudos to Miss State for not screwing around with unrealistic expectations of who they are, the type of coach they need and can realistically get.
This is the type of guy A&M should've gone after from the start. Instead, they messed around with trying to court some of the biggest rising stars in the game.

You realize we were last in plays run for the entire year…in all of college football? It’s not relegated to one game. Even Coen commented that a change must happen.
This can’t possibly be a good hire. We’ve heard it first hand on this board that there simply aren’t any good coaches out there willing to go to places like Miss St.
I think South Carolina should take more grief for Muschamp. At least he hadn't proven how bad a coach he was when they hired him. I think that was the worst hire I ever remembered.
Oh definitely. If a guy can't succeed with the resources you have at a place like Florida, what makes you think he can succeed at USC?
That was pretty much exactly what I said the second I heard they might hire him. Kind of like Mike White at Georgia.
This was my first thought. Wonder if he tries to convince Rogers to stay or brings in his own QB.
that's fair, but I agree with their point overall and there is a lot more proof on the negative side of consequences than on the positives of Saturday. Our offense has to evolve. Both points can be true and is in this case
Scoring twice in just three plays is an outlier and is highly unlikely to happen for UK again. Our pace all year has been ridiculously slow.
I would have felt better about our chances of beating Tennessee, Missouri and South Carolina if we hadn't fielded the slowest paced offense in D1 college football in 2023.
