Jeff Lebby explains his move
After having considerable success at Oklahoma and helping the Sooners win 10 games in the regular season, Lebby explained why he felt the need to make the move to Mississippi State.
“When you look at Mississippi State right now, there’s just incredible leadership from [MSU president] Dr. Keenum to, obviously, our new AD Zac Selmon,” Lebby said on the Paul Finebaum show. “That, for me, was just was incredibly important as you step into this role for the first time in my career, knowing that there’s going to be great trust. There’s going to be great alignment with the people that you’re working with and for every single day.
“Then, you just have great peace about being able to go get it done the way we need to get it done. So incredibly thankful for all of my stops. Again, so many people helped me get to the point that that I’m in today. I’m looking forward to working together here at State with our great leadership, our fan base and our locker room to get this thing where we need to get it.”
