Last week, Mississippi State football coach Jeff Lebby made a stunning and controversial move, firing Wide Receivers Coach and beloved Bulldog alum Chad Bumphis. Bumphis, who is one of the greatest wideouts in Mississippi State history, had been in the position for three seasons, and during his tenure, State's receivers were regularly the bright spots of the team.
It was a move no one saw coming, but for an unknown reason, Lebby felt State needed to make a change. Given the controversial nature of the decision, it was, and still is, imperative that Lebby made a stellar hire to replace Chad Bumphis.
