re: Mississippi State hires Jeff Lebby as next coach

Yes. We had offensive success in Briles system because it offsets poor line play. Fans have been calling for his head for at least the past 2 seasons.

He wasn’t being retained. Pittman rarely fires assistants, just lets them find other jobs. Kennedy was never going to be publicly fired because by all accounts he’s a good person and Pittman really liked him. On top of that, he fosters kids in Arkansas so that situation had to be figured out.
