This is what I’ll never understand about this forum. This is a breaking news story in and of itself. So what do we do? Stick in on page 19 and change the title. Some topics need a new beginning. Constantly burying new stuff in old threads will never make sense to me.

Gotta make room for all of the great threads started by 78.

Yeah, I get the Leach reference, but I don't get the location reference. The worst Mississippi haters universally concede that the women are more distracting.
There are fat ones to be found everywhere you look in Muhsippi or Trailerbammer, fo sho.

Maybe sometimes, but on this one I disagree with you. It's the same conversation, broadly about the same topic, but there's been a new development that has shifted the focus of it, that's all.
You realize there might be some that have never clicked this thread right? And when you see the title you’re like “oh shyt what are they saying!” And then you realize the first 18 pages are from weeks ago, Most comments about how much everyone hates grantham, just to get to the 19th page where the new information is. It’s dumb. The search and the hire are two different topics. Should be as such. Mike Leach deserves his own thread.

If one truly is in the market for high-quality, trust Fund princess poon, Oxford is your destination. If you are looking for available, knows the price of rolls of Generic Skoal, might I suggest Starkville.

Looks like we're stuck with Grantham then. Is he taking any other calls? Is anyone else calling? I'd think there would be people still looking at him for HC vacancies, just based on his numbers. You'd have to be an attentive Gator fan to know that his defenses are not as airtight in critical situations as the season-long stats would otherwise indicate.
Hope springs eternal.

stoops is by far the most milquetoast coach in the SEC.

edit - not familiar with the ark dude so he might be up there as well, but at least for returning coaches, stoops is definitely the most bland and irrelevant dude around.

No doubt there are a few good looking southern belles in Mussippi. To say that they are vastly outnumbered by fat trailer park dwellers would be an understatement of titanic proportions.

You may not know much about him, but he's a fairly normal guy. He'd also like to hear more about this "milk and toast" you guys keep speaking of.

I stick by what I said and a few of you argued with me. Grantham will never be a power 5 head coach,ever. He's not young and pretty enough. The only way we lose him is he takes an nfl gig or we fire him. Very few group 5 hc jobs are gonna pay what he's getting now. I know he keeps putting his name out there but that doesn't really mean shcit. I personally don't think we'll ever get over the hump with him here.

With this class we’ve been getting larger DEs. Almost like we’re recruiting for a 4-3 defense.
Since the majority of what a defense faces these days, 4 and 5 wide, no FB, TE flexed or an H-back, you almost have to have a preponderance of DB's and hybrid LB types, but still some beef in the middle of the DL and on the edges when the down and distance and the opposition's tendencies call for it. Nothing wrong with basing out of a 4-3 as long as you can play a Nickel or Dime, pressure the QB and control the edges along with the LOS. We were certainly able to pressure the QB this year. This helped make up for a poor back end and was, I believe, a factor in winning 11. If we can maintain our strength and pick up the pace with our weaknesses, we should at least be no worse than we were this year. I can stand a wash if we can run the ball better (200/game) to go along with our passing game.

But most of you know that safety play might be the biggest area for improvement. Just not sure how that will happen having to depend on young guys growing up and how well they are trained and prepared.

For all the off-season splashing around going on in the SEC West, it’ll probably only have a marginal impact on the end result.

But he can't go back to LSU because getting rid of Ogre would actually bring some normalcy. He'd have to go to, I dunno, Kentucky or something. Having a hard time figuring out which coach in the SEC is the most milquetoast.

Jeremy Pruitt, by a mile.

Frequent the trailer parks, do you?
