The announcement of Jeff Lebby as the 36th head football coach in Mississippi State history has sent shockwaves throughout the college football world. Lebby is a proven mastermind behind some of the most feared offenses in the NCAA, with a track record of orchestrating high-octane teams at Oklahoma, Ole Miss, and UCF which ranked inside the top six nationally in total offense, scoring offense, and passing offense.
Jeff Lebby himself is excited about the opportunity, stating, “Being the head coach at Mississippi State is the opportunity of a lifetime. My family and I are fired up to engrain ourselves in this community, build relationships with our players, and hit the recruiting trail.”
His reputation as an elite recruiter and offensive genius precedes him, with an impressive record of leading all active offensive coordinators in 50+ point games (14) since becoming an offensive coordinator at the FBS level in 2019.
The incredible numbers do not stop there. Lebby’s offenses have produced impressive statistics such as 73 plays of 20+ yards from scrimmage in 2023 from Oklahoma (No. 9 in FBS), and a ranking of No. 1 in first downs plus touchdowns (1,580) among active FBS offensive coordinators since 2019. Even within the Southeastern Conference, Lebby has made a name for himself at Ole Miss, where he led the offense to rank No. 6 nationally in total offense in 2021.
His influence extends beyond the offensive side of the game, having played a key role in coaching talented quarterbacks like McKenzie Milton and Matt Corral, who have since become standout players on the national stage.
Lebby’s success has not been confined to just a few seasons. He has consistently produced top-tier numbers, finishing in the top six nationally in total offense three times over the last five seasons, including an impressive No. 2 with UCF in 2019 (540.5 ypg) and then No. 3 with Ole Miss in 2020 (555.5 ypg). His credentials are further solidified by his stints at schools such as Baylor and NAIA Southeastern University.
As Lebby takes the helm at Mississippi State, the future of the football program looks promising. The Bulldogs are set to usher in a new era of high-powered, high-scoring football under the leadership of this acclaimed offensive mastermind. Fans are eager to see the impact of Lebby’s dynamic schemes and innovative play calling, as the team continues to strive for excellence in the SEC.
