I love Ed as a person but his tenure at ole miss was a complete disaster. Really no reason to think he's even a decent head coach at this point

Right? It really is a shame that football coaches are the ONLY professionals who can't learn, evolve and grow over the course of 15 years...

I mean it's not like there have ever been any examples of middling head coaches from struggling programs (Michigan State for example), who moved on from early coaching jobs, learned, and became great...

If only Ed had the capacity to learn from past mistakes, make solid coordinator hires, and continue to recruit well. MAYBE then we could give him the benefit of the doubt.

Until then, he's just the same old shirtless, Red bull guzzling coonass from down the bayou. Can't coach his way out if a wet paper bag, right?
























































I may have laid it on a little thick there, so I'll just say it. Your post was asinine.

Yes, he had a terrible record at Ole Miss, but even Ed said he made mistakes back then including micromanaging his coordinators. Stewardship is one of the hardest things to learn as a leader.

I agree that the jury is out on Ed O at this point. He now not only has a huge opportunity to redeem his Ole Miss record but also lot to prove. Now that he's in charge of a top notch program with every facet to be successful including two excellent coordinators, there will be no excuse for him if he fails again. Let's hope the leap of faith pays off for tiger nation.
