Considering Rick Ray was expected (before he was down to 6 scholarship players) to finish last and with 4 or 5 wins, yes, there are other coaches who deserve a pat on the back for what they did.

We wouldn't be much better.  Ray can't help the injuries, and the only player we lost that we'd still have is the PG that went to Texas Tech.  Hood was gone, Moultrie was gone, Bost was gone.  We were losing all of last year's team regardless, so this idea that we'd be much better with Stansbury is misguided.  We'd be much better if half our team hadn't spent the season injured.  Even with 5 scholarship players and giving two terrible walk-ons significant minutes, we've got 3 SEC wins.

We were going to be bad regardless.

Thanks!

Wrong, John. The majority of State fans blame this season on Stansbury's dumpster fire and are not longing to see him return.  Seems like before writing an article making such a statement, you'd have bothered to find that out.

You're off the "bandwagon" because State had a bad game at the home stadium of the #1 team in the nation. You'll recall Alabama has done this to plenty of teams under Nick Saban.  And it's interesting that you seem to be jumping on the Ole Miss bandwagon when the 2 SEC teams they've beaten have two wins. The only reason Ole Miss is surprising is because Bobby Petrino went for a motorcycle ride and Auburn collapsed.

Very disappointing "analysis" from you.
