Lebby to Mississippi State

[#1HomeGrownUTVOL]

Thoughts?

 

[TNHopeful505]

Big jump from OC to HC in a P5 conference. Tough first gig

 

[amaralfan1]

Great move. Better than A&M getting Elko.

Hope he does well. A strong Mississippi State only helps Tennessee

 

[ENGRVOL]

Think he is a great hire. Someone who knows Kiffin and solid offensive mind.

Plus OU is losing their coordinator for next year which is an added bonus for us playing on the road.

 

[amaralfan1]

Heupel's coaching tree already at 2!

 

[Boston Vol]

Just keep his father-in-law away from the program

 

[DarkVolder]

That’s a gamble imo

Tennessee plays State in 2024. Let's hope it takes a while to rebuild.

They’re probably insistent he keep his brother in law away as well. Just for different reasons.

 

[sonofUT62]

That’s a gamble imo

If he hires an above average DC, they will be dangerous. Just someone at a Manny Diaz level that would stay more than a year at a time.

I would expect Venables to go after Brandon Streeter.

I think Lebby is a good hire for State.
Who can they get who is better?

I expect Lebby will be a better coach than the Pirate. He is much easier to work for.

Art Briles Son-in-law?

I would expect Venables to go after Brandon Streeter.

Or Lebby's brother -in-law, Kindal Briles of TCU. Briles and Lebby run the same system only Lebby runs it better.

Mississippi State is a very tough place to win at consistently.

Mississippi State is a very tough place to win at consistently.

Their greatest Coach is Dan Mullen.

Came here to say this! Also can't wait to watch those egg bowl match ups going forward

The more teams that run this offense in the SEC, the less advantage the Vols have running a unique offense.. the margin for running it will begin shrink. It won’t be zero, but it may shrink further.

This hire weakens OU SIGNIFICANTLY. I love it.

No other team in the SEC runs our offense.

Explain in more detail how this weakens Oklahoma’s offense? Littrell will be calling the shots in the bowl game it seems and he’s familiar with Lebby’s schemes. It’s still a ways off until next season and either hiring an OC from another program or promoting Littrell, they’ll still be formidable.

Lebby is one of the best OCs in the nation. We lost Golesh and look what happened. They will still be good but their offense won’t be as potent as it was. Why? Because you aren’t finding another Lebby. Doesn’t matter what guy is familiar with Lebbys system, he isn’t Lebby. Even if they light it up in the bowl game, that doesn’t matter.
