I can agree with that. Our guys are geared for that.

Anything but the spread would be a train wreck and waste of talent
I disagree, There are so many variations of the spread offense now, that anybody labeled as a spread guy won't have success. With our O-Line, QB, and RBs I think a Wing T guy could come in and have some success. I don't have to have a spread guy if he knows his personnel and his system.
I guarantee you Cohen factored this in big time. Y’all really need to understand how much we upgraded at AD when the cheerleader left.
This is why I'd prefer us to go with a more Offense-minded HC. We're not gonna find another Mullen, but we could get someone that could more readily build off what he leaves behind. Our coordinator positions are gonna be a revolving door anyways - need consistency where our team is built right now.
Read what you wrote. Key words "variations" "of" "spread".Quote:

We need to put our big boy panties on and quit going nuts over the fact we may hire a DC as our HC because he may come in and not run the right system. Get over yourselves. Cohen knows what the hell he's doing and should have already been able to prove that by the fact we are interviewing multiple people less than 24 hours after our HC bailed on us. Trust Cohen and quit worrying.
Well said.
I have no reason to doubt Cohen at this juncture, but we are in an extremely delicate position right now. Cohen has to get this one absolutely 100% correct or we risk losing almost everything Mullen has built up to this point. We're not Florida, or Bama, or Auburn. We don't have the heritage/pedigree/resources to spring back from a slump in any kind of timely manner.Quote:

My confidence that we will be able to lure a great OC from another big program (like AU) to work the same position at MSU is very, very small.
I want Napier. He is familiar with alot of our recruits and it would help to have an OC with a chip on his shoulder against Bama for snubbing him for OC.
We were bowling two years after Croom and have not stopped. We are in a way better shape this time. The new OC who ever he is will look at the roster and planned around it until he gets his guys on campus. That's what Mullen did and it isn't rocket science.Quote:
