They don?t have a lot of the resources other states have. The socio-economics of MS don?t allow a lot of 7V7 and quality weight programs. Coaching staff numbers are limited. Time is spread between other duties.
Look at Bassfield. They tried for many years in the 90s to run the spread and couldn?t, even with those athletes. Went back to the wingT and dominate.
Here's your reason
Good coaches play to their strength. i know some guys that love the spread and throwing it around but their players strengths lead to a power running game.

That said my question is when does this mindset change in MS when does it open up and we actually coach QB's in this state? This state is light years behind our neighboring states coaching offense. Any thoughts coaches?
Its the smaller schools that still run those offenses. Nothing against them theres a reason they do it, but the larger schools run spread for the most part. Except on the coast in 6A ball they still behind the times

This is much more about player development in high school which is severely lacking in our state.
Not really. 6A region 2 and 3 are extremely well coached. 5A south as well

You are dead right about the coast 6A football on the coast is horrific, I watched a bunch of it this year.

It's exciting football, but I think the lack of toughness is one of the reasons Texas and Texas A&M suck.
True.

You can pick some well coached teams, but that these regions as a whole are well coached is just not accurate.

In 10 games this season- I coached against:
1 Old School Power I team (1A school)
2 double wing option/wing-T teams
7 Spread teams
I disagree that the coaching around the state isn’t progressing

Mississippi is still stuck in the past in so many ways. Education, State Government, State law...everything else is downstream.

Why is the Delta so low? And what does a "low education level" mean anyway ... that they can't learn as well as others, or they don't have the opportunity to learn because the schools are not good?

You ever hung out in the Delta much?
Serious question. If not, go sit in front of a store over there, if you can find one open, and just listen and observe. You will have your answer in 5 minutes.
Not only did Mississippi State embarrass LSU on this night. Davis Wade Stadium wrecked Tiger Stadium in music choice, atmosphere and, most of all, volume.

No, hardly at all. My first trip to the Delta was just a few years ago and that was to the casinos in Tunica.
I knew a few folks from the Delta when I was at MSU (in the '60s) but they were all OK. Maybe times have changed.
