Mississippi State football: Jeff Lebby reportedly brings Matt Holecek

It’s not a big deal if you’re not currently familiar with Matt Holecek. He’s a young coach who hasn’t spent a ton of time in roles that would catch the attention of many MSU football fans.

So, who is Matt Holecek?

Well, he’s someone that Jeff Lebby seems to be pretty familiar with, even if MSU fans aren’t. Lebby and Holecek have worked together for a few years now as they’ve been on staff together with the Oklahoma Sooners for two years now. Prior to that, Holecek was a member of the Ole Miss Rebels for a couple seasons.

So, it looks like Lebby is bringing Holecek along to another destination once again.

According to his profile on X (his Twitter profile?), Holecek will be working with Mississippi State quarterbacks, which isn’t a huge shocker. He’s been an offensive analyst under Lebby’s guidance and now he’s moving up in the world.

Holecek is familiar with Lebby’s veer-and-shoot offense and that familiarity will be important for the Bulldogs as they adjust to this new system.

So far, it looks like Lebby is building a unified staff that is built around his system.
