Our offense had some injuries, but man, it feels like our offense just stalls way too much and gets way too predictable. Lebby wasn't perfect, but I do think our offense in 2020 and 2021 was schematically more creative than what Weis Jr. brings to the table to pair with Kiffin.

As much as NIL, it would be nice to bring in an offensive mind who we can pair with Kiffin to really push the needle forward with offensive efficiency. Would Weis Jr. have any opportunities? Will Kiffin keep him on?

I was thinking about the two 10-2 teams. 2021 and 2023. I was thinking about how much turnover was on the roster from then to now. I was starting to discuss with a buddy about how I think this years team would beat 21 team. If anyone not named Georgia was placed on the schedule we probably go 11-1.

If you made me put a line on it, and this is just my opinion, but I think 2023 would be a 3-4 point favorite over the 2021 team.

Keep it the same and improve the players in spots. Pretty simple.

defensive recruits money could buy! He won't have that talent at State and Kiffin and our staff know him well. Lebby won't have Oklahoma talent at State and he is there because no big league coach wanted
that job and that tells you all you need to know.

Just curious where ours ranks from the source they use.

For the record I am fine with Citrus and a reasonable opponent.

Although their rankings have no relevance, they did have us at 9 in front of Mizzou, OK, & Penn St. They mentioned how important bottom part of top 10 was to NY6 bowls. Talked about our wins over LSU and Tulane being the difference. Hopefully that is because they are hearing or believing the same thing everyone else was discussing yesterday.

I live in Fairhope and my neighbor/buddy is considering a move to a place outside Lucedale. Sweet place, 20 acres. I was telling him he’d need to send kids to private schools, but he said the public schools were highly rated. I am skeptical. Thoughts?

As another poster said, if the collective isn’t growing, it’s falling behind. Any ideas about what we might have planned to try and capitalize off of this season in order to finish strong in recruiting and the portal?

I feel like it’s been a week since an MPW digital show! (s)

Thanks for all you guys do! You all deserve a break without SEC coaching search madness. But really, I sure am glad for the OEP to be back this morning. Having to try to keep up with all the threads and twitter (X) is exhausting…

“OLE MISS”!!!!

I keep seeing people saying Gabriel from OU might transfer or speculating about Dart coming back or leaving….

Is that even possible? I thought these guys had used their transfer. Isn’t the NCAA standing pretty firm on the 2x rule?

Assuming that’s where we’re heading. Hell throw Cotton and Peach in just for kicks. How many Ole Miss fans can we expect at one of these games. My clan will be at any of the three.

I think we are underestimating Lebby at State. This puts two coaches(Lebby and Freeze) within close proximity of us, who hate Lane. Not only that, but they are strong offensive minds. They will be much more difficult to recruit against. The other programs lacked the ability to showcase offensive talent before, but not anymore.

Am I the only one that finds both of the new SEC hires dull?

I mean, I guess I get State hiring Lebby. Neal and others have stated over and over that it’s a tough job in this climate. Not a lot of suitors.

And yes, Elko has done a solid coaching job at Duke. But I can’t wrap my head around paying Jimbo $76M to hire someone whose only HC job has been two years at Duke.
