Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

Lane "Train" has no pressure at Mississippi a solid Bowl game and a playoff appearance occasionally will do for that fan base. The Baseball coach gets more heat than Kiffin does...
I think a lot of fans have recency bias and they don't really understand how bad Ole Miss was prior to Lane Kiffin. No one really won big there. Not Hugh Freeze, Not Houston Nutt, Not Ed Orgeron which it sounds wild to bring up as bad as he was but he won a title at LSU! They had a few upset wins over Bama to their name but had never won 11 games in a season until Kiffin.
 
Depending on how we react/bounce back from this loss we had in the bag (F the refs and we should have run another play to get the yards back on the false start FG attempt) , along with when and if starters return other than Gibson--- we need Redmond to improve daily... he did great, but turn your damn head kid... you would have easily batted away the 4th down TD in the corner of the endzone. Could have been game right there.

2-3 losses unless we keep improving-- OK/AL.... maybe FL only because the swamp. To win these games we will need everyone healthy and playing at a high level like this past weekend. I feel better about FL only because of when we play them and they may be beat up and beaten down by then. We MUST take advantage of home field against OK.

2 games where if we are off or don't bring it for four quarters--- Vandy and Arky

Not sure who is really that good and bad yet, too much going on and too many teams this season in the SEC with talent (NIL and transfer portal) that can be dangerous if playing lights out.
Aight, forget that noise. We just kicked the best defense in the country up and down the field but we can't kick a damn field goal. We have lost our last game and do be honest with you I would much prefer losing to the barking fools than the Bammers. So get out with the talk losing of to the sweater vests and Jose Football.
 
Top notch reporting by Rucker. Btw, didn't AP State that Gibson probably out for season?

I haven’t heard that yet. But I did hear AP bring it into question talking about agents and outside forces and what not. Didn’t make it sound like a certainty either way. But I might not have heard the latest.

Smart.

When you allow your joy and your self-esteem to be dependent on the performance of a football team, you have some things very out of balance in your life and you really need to assess some things. In years past it had become idolatrous to me and I was forced to repent and realign. Of course I'm disappointed, but I no longer get angry. I enjoyed the day and it was great to see UGA require multiple lucky breaks to squeak out a win. We'll get 'em next year. Or better, at the SEC championship game.

Now my daughter and SiL haven't quite internalized those spiritual lessons...
100% I used to let a loss ruin my entire weekend.

You said it. Disappointing? Yep. Do I still have joy and peace in my heart? Yep
 
They asked Billy Napier if he felt like he was coaching for his job in his press conference today and he said "I think I'm trying to solve problems. Find the right combination..." So he did not say "Yes." Absolutely no pressure on Billy. He gets a big fat bonus for getting fired.
I want a head coach to answer that question completely honestly one day. The correct answer should have been "I am NOT coaching for my paycheck. I get that no matter what."

He could have at least feigned concern. Would have placated fans more than this answer did. We know they aren't ever going to answer honestly.
