That's like that anywhere. For the amount of money they pay and the resources they have, sign me up.

Texas has the money to fire folk at will. That would worry the hell out of me if I was a coach.

Texas has more money than anyone and that includes Alabama and Ohio State but that is not the dream job most think it is. That place is a booster nightmare, it's Auburn on steroids.
He may leave, the money will be hard to turn down but he better get a long term contract with a buyout that sets him up for life. There is a reason two have already turned down the position.

Then get a nice buy out added to contract

I hope that is the case.

reportedly Muschamp, and maybe Odom(Arkansas). The current TX DC may be retained though.

Texas has unlimited money. Does not matter to Texas. Hire a guy and pay him what he wants and if he do not pan out fire him no matter what it cost and hire the next guy.

Either of them tied to LSU or a HC job?

Just as important is that we keep the Strength and Conditioning program intact. Effort and tackling was the biggest difference year. We just have to make sure our DC has a hard edge. Peter Sirmon was too nice.
This is correct. D has been a constant at MSU through real bad coaches or not. Would like to keep Arnett though. Also is Texas really that great a job? The pressure and they have slipped. If we pay him, I don't see why he wouldn't stay. Every job isn't just about the money.

Agree, they aren't all about the money. But, they have a better chance to win their league and like it or not, it's a better job. He is well paid here, if he leaves he will be well compensated wherever he goes. Remember NO coach thinks they are going to lose or not succeed. None. And if they do, you don't want them anyway. EGO. They ALL have it.

This, pretty much nailed it.

Arnett is young, so Austin vs Starkville might come in to play too

Not really. Manny Diaz liked the players he had here better.

That's a very bad example, Manny left us for Texas. Thanks for making my point. He never thought he would fail either. It's not like i want Arnett to leave. He's did a great job and his a nice guy. I've been around him numerous times in a casual setting.

Hindsight 20/20 and all

Apparently ND is knocking on Armett’s door also. If they don’t get Freeman, Arnett could be next in line for them.
That one would worry me more than the Texas opening. Texas is gonna end up keeping Ash.

Why? It's not like that job is a spring board to the NFL. Manny Diaz probably would have become a head coach more quickly if he had stayed here instead of detouring through La Tech, back to MSU and then to Miami.

Yeah. Arnett just screams hipster.**

MSU has become Rent-A-DC U. Sucks. Maybe we can get Uhaul as a sponsor.
