2026 Mississippi State Football Coaching Turnover Tracker 2.0

[BlackSailsDawg]

Saban didn't have to fire too many. His coaches were getting poached. But yes Saban firing a coach would be a good thing. However, that's not an level comparison.

It's very comparative. After his first season at Bama, he replaced 2. 2007–2010 period, a total of 14 different coaches occupied 9 assistant‑slots. And that trend was always present. 3 coaches remained from the 2018 staff, out of 10 total on‑field assistant spots, for 2019.

Over Saban’s tenure, roughly 41 full-time on‑the‑field assistant coaches have passed through Alabama’s staff.

So Lebby should not be as demanding????

[Todd4State]

Wasn’t Bumphis pulled over from Arnett? Pretty sure we had awful receivers that year.

He was on the staff during the redacted year of 2023.

[Todd4State]

Someone on 24/7 said he is hearing that Spurrier, Jr is interviewing for the WR job. It's not Steve and it's a random poster who I haven't seen share info before. So not sure how reliable.

[Thick]

Kevin Thompson added to the coaching staff. Did yall already cover this?

[Thick]

No idea why the link is dead, but says he?s the assistant DB/Nickels.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Yes. He was hired yesterday as asst secondary coach. His actual position in undetermined at this time.

Yesterday?! Damn

[Chuck3124]

Any new word on Nix or Holecek?s potential replacement?

[Pancho]

Nix is interested in going to usm with freeze if it happens

[Chuck3124]

Nix is interested in going to usm with freeze if it happens

So we need freeze not to get that job. Got it lol

[Todd4State]

So we need freeze not to get that job. Got it lol

That might open up Blake Anderson for us.

[KB21]

Will anything come out today about anymore coaching changes?

[StarkVegasSteve]

Will anything come out today about anymore coaching changes?

I would be surprised. I doubt we see any movement of anything substantial until the bowl game or after. Doesn't mean that we're waiting til then to interview or hire, just that we won't publicly announce anything.

[KB21]

They officially announced Matt Brock. It?s interesting that he is linebackers coach and co-defensive coordinator.

[KB21]

I suspect that Matt Barnes will be moving on and that we will have a new safeties coach.

[Coursesuper]

I suspect that Matt Barnes will be moving on and that we will have a new safeties coach.

I’d be willing to bet Arnett takes the safeties to free up a spot.

[KB21]

Well shit. We just hired Bush Hamden as associate head coach of offense.

[StarkVegasSteve]

This is going to be basically what Joe Judge did for Kiffin his first year. He'll work with the QBs but won't actually be the QB coach. My guess is that he's an analyst without being called an analyst.

[Thick]

Never heard of this fella until I googled him. Meh

[mparkerfd20]

Well shit. We just hired Bush Hamden as associate head coach of offense.

Has a hell of a nice resume. I'd assume off the field.

[KB21]

It?s odd because Hamden has never been a veer and shoot guy. He?s actually more of an outside zone pro style.

[BlackSailsDawg]

Well shit. We just hired Bush Hamden as associate head coach of offense.


I think he is well versed in this system.

[StarkVegasSteve]

It?s odd because Hamden has never been a veer and shoot guy. He?s actually more of an outside zone pro style.

Which is probably why we have him such a broad title. He will help with the QBs but be able to have his hand in the offense as a whole.

[KB21]

The release says he has a history of QB and WR development

[BlackSailsDawg]

Has a hell of a nice resume. I'd assume off the field.

He's expected to work with the Qbs.

[Chuck3124]

Which is probably why we have him such a broad title. He will help with the QBs but be able to have his hand in the offense as a whole.


Is this Holecek?s replacement or just a new analyst hire?

[Todd4State]

It's an interesting hire. I know Kentucky struggled this year on offense but not a big concern with Lebby calling plays. He has some NFL experience so that's a plus since he is coaching QB's.

[Cowbeller]

We said build around KaMario and I think the Bush announcement does just that

[Todd4State]

Which is probably why we have him such a broad title. He will help with the QBs but be able to have his hand in the offense as a whole.

Is Arnett going to be in the situation I wonder? We need a DL coach. We have Vincent coaching EDGE. We now have Brock with a co-DC essentially and LB's. We have Bell coaching corners. We have Barnes coaching safeties for now anyway. And we just hired Kevin for DB's. Correct me if I'm wrong but that's 7 spots for defensive coaches. And we need a WR coach and someone to coach special teams.

The math isn't mathing here.

[BrunswickDawg]

Which is probably why we have him such a broad title. He will help with the QBs but be able to have his hand in the offense as a whole.

Keep in mind that the limit on number of coaches does not exist anymore.
The only limit is that we can only designate 11 people for recruiting.

[msstate7]

Ohio state, Georgia, bama, lsu, Michigan - "Alright guys now let's break up into one-on-one coaching sessions now that every player has a coach"

[StarkVegasSteve]

Is this Holecek?s replacement or just a new analyst hire?

New analyst. This is basically what Joe Judge did at OM his first year.

[Turfdawg67]

Never heard of this fella until I googled him. Meh

But of course. No one has...

[KB21]

Could L'Damian Washington be a WR coach target? Worked with Hamden this year and in 2020. Was WR coach and passing game coordinator for Golesh in 2024.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Target? Yes. I think he is a decent ways down the list though. Probably 4 or 5.

[Jarius]

Kevie is not going to be the main DB coach. Just an assistant to the assitant type deal. As others said, we can have as many coaches as we want now. Just a limit on how many can recruit.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Kevie is not going to be the main DB coach. Just an assistant to the assitant type deal. As others said, we can have as many coaches as we want now. Just a limit on how many can recruit.

Correct. You can only have, I believe, 10 assistants to recruit. And you only have 15 headsets for coaches, not GAs, on gameday.

But I mean most teams today are going to have 12-151 analysts and QC guys. We had around 10 last year.

This guy is probably not going to have an official position title.

Kevie is the Assistant Defensive Backs/Nickle Coach - says it right there in the press release.

But, yes, we are going to see more hybrid assistant/analyst types who work on a more detailed aspect (like Nickle Coverage).
Frankly, I would load up on young guys who traditionally have been GA's - ideally our own former players - and give them an Assistant to the Assistant Regional Manager Title and have someone like Knox teach them how to Coach.
It's probably our best way to build a pipeline of coaching talent.

I was talking about the new offensive hire. Yea Kevie is Assistant DB coach.

[Chuck3124]

Anybody heard anything on Darrell Wyatt or Cale Gundy for WR coach?

[KB21]

I would be very surprised to see Cale Gundy leave Oklahoma. Darrell Wyatt though coached with Lebby at UCF, so I could see that one.

[Todd4State]

I would be very surprised to see Cale Gundy leave Oklahoma. Darrell Wyatt though coached with Lebby at UCF, so I could see that one.

Cale Gundy hasn't coached since 2022. That would be a surprise.

I'm drunk rn so take this with that thought in mind but lmfao at hiring Cale Gundy.

Yea I like Cale a lot as a person, but his coaching days are done. He hung it up when Venables came in

[Tater]

Yea I like Cale a lot as a person, but his coaching days are done. He hung it up when Venables came in

That's uhh... one way to describe it.

And to be clear and in front of the inevitable political shitstorm this convo could bring up. He was part of the lack of situational awareness and old guard under OU that had let things fester that BV was brought into cleaning up. He was a great person to make an example firing of and whether or not you agree with firing him for what he did - he should have had more situational awareness. Period.

I'm gonna cut us off on discussing it further because Scoob will have to come bonk us with ban hammers if we do. Not you specifically Steve, other folks (and me to be fair) got their keyboards revving up once they do the research.

[StarkVegasSteve]

That's uhh... one way to describe it.

I was trying to be nice. I like Cale so I don't want his entire career impacted by one moment.

[Tater]

Back to the topic - I'm a bit hungover this morning - but I have an idea on cleaning up the first post. Also off work today so I'll do that when I get around to it today.

[KB21]

I have an idea where that came from, and it has more to do with finding a name that has coached with Lebby before than it is with being an actual rumor. Wyatt could be legit, but Gundy? No.

[Really Clark?]

Back to the topic - I'm a bit hungover this morning - but I have an idea on cleaning up the first post. Also off work today so I'll do that when I get around to it today.

Tater is hungover on a Friday? Shocking!!!

[StarkVegasSteve]

I think L'Damian Washington can probably be added to the list of potential WR targets. Doesn't look like Stein will retain him at Kentucky.

[Tater]

Tater is hungover on a Friday? Shocking!!!

4 day weekend and work suuuuuuucked this week. Also I concocted a ridiculous egg nog mix that does the ****in job. 1/4 Fireball Yule Nog, 1/4 Screwball Peanut butter nog, 1/4 2% Milk, 1/8 Crown Chocolate, 1/8 Crown Vanilla.

WHEW! I got a headache just reading that! LOL

[KB21]

Going back to earlier in the thread, I think it was BankerDog that mentioned three names. Derrick Nix, Malcolm Kelly, and Shay Hodge. Are we still thinking it's one of those three names?

[KB21]

https://x.com/ZachAbolverdi/status/1999119498025087248?s=20

This says Nix is looking at Florida and "one other program".

The other program is us as of now. I think OM may try to get in the mix at some point but for now it's us and Florida.

[StarkVegasSteve]

You can cross Shay Hodge's name off the list. We are not hiring the WR coach at Jackson Academy to be a P4 position coach.

[StarkVegasSteve]

L'Damian Washington has been followed by a few of our receivers recently. I think that may be the hire.

Just a quick background: originally from Shreveport. Played at Mizzou for Gary Pinkel and was really good. Bounced around practice squads and the CFL for a couple of years and got into coaching. Was with Lebby at OU in 2022. Just let go at Kentucky and was with Golesh at USF last year.

So it could be between us and Auburn?

[StarkVegasSteve]

Auburn is not in the running for him to my knowledge.

[Todd4State]

Auburn is not in the running for him to my knowledge.

I wonder if there is a possibility we get Nix and Washington? I mean Lebby is going completely rogue right now so why not?

[StarkVegasSteve]

I wonder if there is a possibility we get Nix and Washington? I mean Lebby is going completely rogue right now so why not?

It's not out of the realm. I know Auburn is courting Anthony Tucker very hard to be their RB coach. Golesh and Tucker were together at UCF in 2020 after Lebby left for Ole Miss. So that would open up RB coach.

[HailState2008]

Saban didn't have to fire too many. His coaches were getting poached. But yes Saban firing a coach would be a good thing. However, that's not an level comparison.

I like Bumphis and all but he couldn?t keep his mouth shut and letting out information that the head honcho did not want public. All programs have sources on the inside but said sources should all be on the same page of what information should become public. If I can?t trust a member of my team, it shows he or she doesn?t respect my leadership.

Totally agree!

[KB21]

It may not mean anything, but we have a bunch of Mississippi State players and staff following L?Damian Washington on X.

[confucius say]

I wish we would hire a run game coordinator. We need more sophistication there. Tired of Y insert inside zone.

[Todd4State]

It's interesting that Washington has a history of being a motivational speaker.

[KB21]

All signs are pointing towards L'Damian Washington being the WR coach.

[BigDawg81]

He is at a different place every year except at USF. He was there for 2 years.

[KB21]

A week ago at this time, we got the shocker of all shocking moves announced when Pete Thamel tweeted that Zach Arnett was the target for the defensive coordinator job. Will we get any moves today that are "shocking"?

Well whoever leaked that got flushed out as a rat. That's more ridiculous than the Arnett hire. Unless there's some other jeremy shockey I don't know about who hasn't officially coached college at any point and just bought a $5 million dollar house in Miami.

[Todd4State]

Sounds like Washington might not happen for WR coach after all.

I dont understand firing Bump without a replacement lined up.

[Coursesuper]

I dont understand firing Bump without a replacement lined up.

When someone in your organization can’t follow the most simple rule “ keep it all in house” you can’t trust them with anything else. They have to go. At least he found a soft landing.

[Tater]

I dont understand firing Bump without a replacement lined up.

Who's to say we don't have one lined up? Everyone we've announced hiring has had their season end. 80 teams still have a game left on their schedule. Sources are dry because we have a staff that values moving in silence. Part of why Bump
just doesn't fit this program right now (whether you agree with it or not).

Damn- I actually agree with Tater. We could easily have a deal in place with someone but cant announce yet. We have guys contacting croots and watching portal film probably 10 hours a day right now. Not just sitting on our hands

It does not appear we have a coach lined up but maybe it?s faulty reporting by our media.

[Coursesuper]

Bro, our media doesn’t know shat. They will only know when they are given the info. Things just don’t get out much from this current staff.

The reporters and their minions crying about not having access in the offseason probably didn't help with that either.

[KB21]

It makes sense if Malcolm Kelly is the hire. Waiting on TCU to finish.

[Coach34]

It does not appear we have a coach lined up but maybe it?s faulty reporting by our media.

after KT starting leaked and Bump found out the consequences- nothing is going to get out right now unless they want it to

[Todd4State]

Now it sounds like Washington is going to Ole Miss.

I wonder if this opens the door for Derrick Nix?

[Pancho]

It's possible but I pretty sure he wants another job but this mat be the last best option he has. Ole miss will swap RB coaches with LSU so I guess Lacey goes to BR as well. Washington does seem to be in with the plantation.

[KOdawg1]

Now it sounds like Washington is going to Ole Miss.

I wonder if this opens the door for Derrick Nix?

He's got opportunities at Bama, Florida, and probably OM before us

[Pancho]

Nix is out of the mix in oxfart. I figure we are last on his wish list but there are currently no strong guarantees that he lands at bama or florida either. ole mis has a WR coach, a RB coach and a new OC so he is out with the sharts. He made a pitch to the sharts as OC but they didn't pat him any attention and went with the intellectual Dr Baker who has experience with TE's to run the vaunted Pete "glue" golding offense.

[Coach34]

Mississippi thinks they have landed Washington

[Pancho]

Mississippi thinks they have landed Washington

that's why i said ole mis has a WR coach

Maybe not on this board hopefully. A lot of people are though. I don’t know anything about Washington other than he never stays at one place too long. I guess he’s a good recruiter.

[Todd4State]

Maybe not on this board hopefully. A lot of people are though. I don’t know anything about Washington other than he never stays at one place too long. I guess he’s a good recruiter.

Yeah. I won't sugar coat it- I think he is a good coach. He is also a guy that moves around a lot.

At the end of the day it's a WR coach. I'm much more interested in who we hire than who we don't.

[BigDawg81]

Yeah. I won't sugar coat it- I think he is a good coach. He is also a guy that moves around a lot.

At the end of the day it's a WR coach. I'm much more interested in who we hire than who we don't.
I’m much more concerned about a DL coach. I think there are plenty of WR coaches out there that would be a good hire. Even Billy Gonzales wouldn’t be a bad hire.

[Todd4State]

I’m much more concerned about a DL coach. I think there are plenty of WR coaches out there that would be a good hire. Even Billy Gonzales wouldn’t be a bad hire.

Gonzales was a pretty bad recruiter. I don't think Lebby would put up with that for long unlike Dan.

I do think DL is critical because that's really what is going to determine how much improvement our DL is going to make next year.

[StarkVegasSteve]

I?m much more concerned about a DL coach. I think there are plenty of WR coaches out there that would be a good hire. Even Billy Gonzales wouldn?t be a bad hire.

Billy would be a terrible hire. TERRIBLE. He's a terrible recruiter and our WRs weren't very good under him. I mean he had 3 years to teach De'Runnya Wilson how to be a receiver and in year 3 we still could only call 3 plays for De'Runnya: slant, fly, block out. He didn't know the difference between a curl, hitch, and comeback so he ran them all the same.

I do agree with you about DL being more important though. That's a massive hire.

[Turfdawg67]

Now Washington is officially going to Ole Miss.

Hopefully we won't melt about this on this board like some are doing on other boards right now.

Nah, most of us are just calloused over. Nothing surprising about this.

[TrapGame]

I am sure all the OM coaches will be job hunting this time next year.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Now Washington is officially going to Ole Miss.

Hopefully we won't melt about this on this board like some are doing on other boards right now.

I think some in our fan base just latch on to a name and convince themselves that he's the best candidate out there. I mean I would venture to guess that 10% of our fan base, and probably less, knew who L'Damian Washington was Thursday afternoon.

[KB21]

This is 100% a fact. The initial melt was because no one knew who Washington was. When they found out that he was being courted by us, Ole Miss, Alabama, Florida, and Ohio State, their tune changed. Now, they are melting because we didn't get him. However, most of this does stem from the fact that some are just mad that Bumphis was dismissed.

We just had another of the 24 or so WR's on this year's roster enter the portal (Thus far,biggest number of portal entries). Someone has done a terrible job of evaluation in this group, as only Thompson and Evans stepped up this year. There is no longer time to develop players, keeping them two or more years, even if they will $tay.

[BorneDawg]

Hey Golden, can you in your spare time list who's coming back next year or is it already in a thread somewhere?

[RezDog7]

I am sure all the OM coaches will be job hunting this time next year.

Could be the same in Starkville

[TrapGame]

Could be the same in Starkville

I doubt it. Having a competent defensive coordinator complimenting a competent offense with a talented, young QB is a winning recipe. OM is taking two steps back at least.

[Tater]

I doubt it. Having a competent defensive coordinator complimenting a competent offense with a talented, young QB is a winning recipe. OM is taking two steps back at least.

Right now both us and Ole Miss go into next year with 2 guaranteed wins and 0 guaranteed losses. (You could argue they have 1 guaranteed loss). They've definitely already taken the 2 steps back and it could get ugly.

Right now we're both in similar standing with our trajectory pointed upward and theirs pointed downward and the portal will show if that to be reality.

If we flop on lines - 2-10 is possible. If they flop and lose most of their talent to the portal, 2-10 is very possible for them.

[Pancho]

They are employing the "over pay" on everybody approach to keep everyone in with lil Petey

[Brobi-wan]

Talent has to have coaches

[StarkVegasSteve]

Frank Wilson seems to be heading to Oxford to be the new RB coach at OM. That takes Derrick Nix completely out of the running at OM. So it will be down to us and Bama for WR coach and also Florida for RB coach.

Not as WR coach!! He would be a DL coach if anything. He and Orgeron have the same philosophy.

[CaptainObvious]

Wow! Not having the coaching staff in place and evaluating potential portal transfers is not a good look 2 weeks before portal opens. Is State running it back without a WR coach and DL coach? Strange.

I am sure they have the evaluation under control.

Our fans think they have to in the loop or we suck. Not true at all. How do you know that we are not looking at a coach on team in a bowl game or playoffs?

You dont. What you think is you deserve to be in the know and if you are its all nothing more than bull shit

Somehow since it is not blasted all over socials and message boards we must have incompetent coaches that are just a bunch of tards sitting around making grill cheese sandwiches and farting.

[Tater]

What from this season made you think Lebby would handle these coaching transitions smoothly and on time?

That he fired the one major leak and no one has any real information being floated because everyone else is tightlipped right now seeing Bump gone for it.

If it's 1/5 and we don't have a WR/DL coach announced then panicking is fair.

Exactly. And if there is anything to panic over it's not who our WR coach is.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Derek Nix Bama as the wide receiver coach. That basically confirms we will not have a higher until probably either a day before or a day after the ball game.

And hell, with this staff, we could have a hire tomorrow

Something tells me that we were never really in it with Nix.

Apparently, there wasn?t supposed to be any staff changes until after the bowl game but somehow the Bumphis firing got leaked. Did Bumphis leak that too

[Todd4State]

That would be ironic.

If he was leaking info I could certainly see Lebby saying "we just can't have you around anymore."

Bumphis might already knew and did not want to wait until after the bowl game.

[Todd4State]

Bumphis might already knew and did not want to wait until after the bowl game.

Maybe so. He obviously landed with UNLV pretty quickly.

[CaptainObvious]

I am sure they have the evaluation under control.

Our fans think they have to in the loop or we suck. Not true at all. How do you know that we are not looking at a coach on team in a bowl game or playoffs?

You dont. What you think is you deserve to be in the know and if you are its all nothing more than bull shit

How sweet of you to be so protective of your beloved Head Coach while he sits on the couch watching Andy Griffith reruns while nearly every SEC team including the ones in the Playoffs are filling out their staff! But of course Lebby is Sooooo much smarter than all this guys. He is waiting on High School playoffs in Texas to finish so he can go get some of their coaches, right?

Gosh, some of our fans are so gullible to believe our coach is waiting on playoff teams to finish so he can poach their best coaches. Guys a freaking genius!

I don't think he's a genius for it. I think he's sticking to his way of coaching and running the ship. We're giving him this leeway for this year.

I told you what date I'll have pitchforks ready.

I'd be much more inclined to believe we're constantly striking out if there was folks coming forward with credible information on who we're targeting. Most of the guys across ED, SPS, 247, etc. who usually have info have had next to none this go around. It is what it is. There's no reason beyond 1/5 to keep this information hidden even if we're hiring from one of the four teams still alive in the playoffs because at that point it would be a promotion for them from their current spot and fine to announce. So I'm waiting until then and if that Monday comes and we have massive staffing holes still then I'm probably going to be ahead of you with my pitchfork saying wtf is the plan and how are we attacking the portal.

Jesus Christ dude. Go take a walk or something. 2 weeks, nobody knew who Washington was until we found out that Lebby was after him. It only becomes a problem when others school wanted him. I guess we did not learn anything from the Arnett hiring. It is a good chance that you are not going to know anything until the hire is made which is after the bowl game.

[BrunswickDawg]

I love these ultimatums from fans. "Satisfy my belief that you should be doing what I say NOW! Or I'll belittle you in the internet and quit giving money I don't give anyway!"

Mullen used to wait until the January coaches conference to hire coaches. And yes, I know the portal makes things different, but when it comes to the players today NIL talks more than position coaches do.

We are also complaining about a 17 WR coach. Lebby has done most of the recruiting at that position for the last 2 years anyways.

I think the main issue right now is that no info is leaking out. And the answer to that is pretty simple: Bumphis was let go in part because he was leaking info to boosters, friends, podcasters, etc. The other coaches are going to keep quiet for a while now that he has been let go. It also shows you how much info Bumphis was leaking.

Some have already made up their minds about Lebby. They may turn out to be right. They may turn out to be wrong. The issue is that IF they turn out to be wrong, they'll construe it as we still did things wrong but got lucky.

I know this much, it doesn't matter who we hire at WR coach. That is not going to make or break our program. Chad Bumphis sucked as a WR coach. His development was terrible(see Rickey Johnson, Sanfrisco Magee, JJ Harrell, Markus Allen, Cam Thompson, etc). The best receivers we had were finished products recruited by Jeff Lebby. That's the facts.

I also know that if we don't significantly increase our buy in and NIL, we will have to hire a project again if Lebby fails. Dan isn't coming. He's not. He doesn't want to come back to Starkville. He's fond of his time, but he just doesn't want to come back. G6 coaches are not going to be beating down our door to come coach a team that has very little NIL buy in, fairweather fans, and school that prioritizes a non rev sport over rev sports.

We agree on that for sure

Hold on. Where did I bitch about a WR hire? I?m talking about multiple hires. We need to replace several coaches, most importantly DL. I agree on WR coach. We can pick up the guy coaching at Choctaw County and be fine there.

How close are we to a full staff? As I asked, are we running it back with most of the 2025 guys because Lebby can?t get anybody to jump on with a possible Lame-duck?

Captain, I think the obvious point here is Lebby nor MSU is obligated to tell you anything until they choose to and that does not make them incapable or incompetent. We all have zero idea if we have our guys and are waiting for contracts to expire or for them to fulfill their obligations.

What we DO know is that Lebby is NOT a lame duck or on the hot seat no matter how the few fans want it to be.

I wouldn't go that far. There's definitely pressure on Lebby to win win probably 7 at least next year to feel totally safe.

[CaptainObvious]

I would say at least 6 and not backing into a bowl because of APR. absolutely a winning record to keep his job next year! No more ?IF, THENS?!

And he might have to win a bowl game next year as well, especially if it is against another 6-6 opponent from a G5.

[Pancho]

7 wins next year do look like a stretch at this point

[Jarius]

And then we'll hire a WR coach and everything will be fine. Until Lebby runs a play the fans don't like in the bowl game.

I do not understand the obsession with fans and the WR coach hire being announced right now. I’m lukewarm on Lebby and I am not crazy about him keeping everything locked up like Lemonis did but I mean damn take a Xanax. It’s a WR coach and Lebby is responsible for most of that anyway. It’s going to happen. He’s not watching Netflix and smoking dope on his couch. A hire is coming and it will produce WR because that is what this offense does. I’m just hoping we get some dogs on defense and on the OL. That’s what I’m worried about and I’m willing to give him the portal period to show us he can do something there.

I doubt Arnett is just going to run it back with guys he doesn’t know and have not produced and I doubt Lebby will force him to do so. That’s not his style of coaching. He does not meddle with the defense. It may work or it may not but I guarantee you things are going on behind the scenes. I don’t like Corey Bell but the strong rumor is Kelley Jones is coming back and a lot of that is said to be because of Bell and if you get half of your position group locked down by a future first rounder for a year by bringing someone back then do it. I can coach Kelley Jones by slapping him on the ass and saying good job. I think we will have 2-3 new defensive hires when the portal opens.

Keeping a bad coach for a player to stay is a terrible idea and never works. That’s actual why we are in the situation that we are currently in.

[Jarius]

Keeping a bad coach for a player to stay is a terrible idea and never works. That’s actual why we are in the situation that we are currently in.

It is a bad reason to keep a coordinator. A position coach’s job is almost exclusively recruiting outside of a couple of spots and if you have half the field locked up it can work for a year. I don’t want him here long term but I would be ok with him staying for this year to keep Jones. Now Hutzler is a different situation all together. You can’t have a guy with that much responsibility on staff.

[Coach34]

Keeping a bad coach for a player to stay is a terrible idea and never works.

Explain to me why he is a bad coach? What techniques are being coached that make him bad? People say this shit without knowing a damn thing about what they are talking about. What is he teaching from a hip rotation and set up in their stance thats bad? What hand drills does he not do in practice that he should do to make him a better coach?

Yea I don’t think it takes a rocket surgeon to coach corners at any level. If he can recruit that is the biggest part of the game and if a 1st round corner is coming back for him then you keep him.

CB coach is the easiest job on the staff. Either you have dudes or you dont. Safeties coach is way more important because they have so many more responsibilities and reads. WR coach is probably the 2nd easiest job. U do hand and blocking drills. Thats about it. Those 2 positions are so much more about acquiring talent than coaching

Yep, and it looks like we have Isaac coming back at safety (if you want to call him a safety) and probably Manning get another year. I think we will be ok there. We need to load up on the DL. Whitson is a big returner and we need 3 more big time guys up front. We supposedly have 30 million dollars to spend on this team. Can we get enough dudes with that money to make us competitive? Last year we could not give away money to difference makers. I hope we can this year. This staff will be in prove it mode.

G6 coaches are not going to be beating down our door to come coach a team that has very little NIL buy in, fairweather fans, and school that prioritizes a non rev sport over rev sports.

The crazy thing to me about Dan and MSU fans is Dan was given the time to develop and establish his program. What did he do in year 1? Go 5-7. That sounds familiar doesn't it? We have too many fans holding 2024 and Toledo against Lebby. Every situation is different.

Bringing Dan back would be a mistake long term for MSU. Sure, he can win with KT. I think Lebby can too by the way. As we have talked about we need to build our NIL and resources. We don't need a nostalgia grab with a guy who isn't the best recruiter, will have a harder schedule than he had his first go around, and will leave as soon as he has any kind of success or will try to.

So, that being said that's why I fully expect MSU to bring him back.

If you look at Arnett historically, we really doesn't have very many guys that are "his guys." He inherited Leach's defensive staff when we first hired him. And when he was at Utah, their defensive staff was one of Dan's friends- Paul Guenther and mostly guys that coached under Odom that Dan retained. Now that he is back you could say that Matt Brock is one of his guys but my point is outside of David Turner who we know is likely retiring that there may not be very many changes. Of course, I could see Barnes leaving but if we're replacing him with Brett Dewhurst I would honestly be kind of disappointed. But I would not be surprised at all if Bell is coming back. And honestly Barnes for that matter too.

He served an apprenticeship with the Saints this season. That isn't something that they just let anyone do. He could be very good as a DL coach.

What happened to McPhee?

Mississippi State has hired WR assistant coach Desmond Lindsay. He was a WR coach at UTEP, Southern Miss and Memphis. I do not understand how you hire an assistant WR coach when you do not have a WR coach but here we are.

Yeah. We're obviously changing our staff for the better. We're adding recruiters like Lindsey and Kevie Thompson and try to add guys that are good at development and X's and O's. Similar model to what Coach O suggested years ago.
