Since most everybody already knows- Hughes is

[Coach34]

Headed to coach Jackson State- also hearing he is taking Sleepy with him. Congrats to those 2 guys- they deserve it. Wish them well.

Good deal for Tony! He can also bring his son along. Really proud of him.

[Really Clark?]

Hate to lose them but it's a good opportunity for both of them. I actually hope that Hughes does really well. He is a good man and could very well be what JSU needs to stabilize that program.

[ShotgunDawg]

Couldn't be happier for Tony. Tony did a great job at MSU, served his state well, & I can't thank him enough for his service. He'll always be a bulldog to me.

This may be the best decision JSU has made in years. They hired a respectable, experienced coach that understands how well run, respectable football program is built. Tony will do a great job at JSU.

And we have a winner on why Tony is leaving

[ElitedawgRecruiting]

Really happy for Tony

Now go hire Buckley and Chip Long

You bring up a good point. This could provide some future MSU coaches their start. If Sleepy & Jay Hughes can start their college coaching careers, may in 10 years or so, one of them will be on our staff.

I want to hire former players that worked their way up through the system.

[LC Dawg]

Good luck to Coach Hughes. Couldn't happen to a better guy. Sleepy too. I wish Sleepy had a more visible role at State because he loved it and he was a fun guy to be around.

[Really Clark?]

I would really love to bring in Chip. Has there been any strong movement to do so?

[maroonmania]

Congrats to Coach Hughes. He will be missed but you always want to see a good man get a good opportunity.

[SDDawg]

Congrats Coach Hughes!

[Political Hack]

Did Sleepy say yes? I heard he extended the opportunity but wasn't sure Sleepy said yes.

[Coach34]

We're trying to keep him but the chance for him to coach is probably going to be too much

[deltadawg99]

Coach Hughes is one of the good guys and wish him nothing but the best at jsu. Certainly deserves it.

This could open up an office job to move Sallach into. One can hope at least.

[CJDAWG85]

We need to do everything we can to keep Sleepy.

[DanDority]

We need to do everything we can to keep Sleepy.

I agree

What position group would they hire him for?

[War Machine Dawg]

Congrats to Coach Hughes! Surprised JSU had the foresight to make this hire. Hopefully they give him the resources to succeed. Sign 'em up for another Check Game.

What position group would they hire him for?

OC has been mentioned. QB coach most assuredly
