New CB Coach

[PendingTransaction]

DeShea to Titans, Perry Carter to MSU. But I prefer Kendall Roberson.

[Dawg-gone-dawgs]

Will you get a lock or delete as well?

[Big4Dawg]

All over Twitter. Great. Why can't we Lee any coaches....

[Okrastar1]

SMOOOOOOOOOOTTTTT TIME!!!!

[msstate7]

Still mad at Roberson for sec championship game**

[Todd4State]

Well, maybe Jay Hopson will end up on our staff after all.

[Todd4State]

Pretty sure that was Adesola Badon that got beat- and I don't think Deion Sanders could have defended that pass. It was just a perfectly executed play.

[I seen it dawg]

Brett. Maxie.

[Big4Dawg]

Well, maybe Jay Hopson will end up on our staff after all.

Please no....

[Dawg-gone-dawgs]

Timing sucks ass...will we ever have something go our way? Jeeez How many recruits will this affect?

[msstate7]

Does this make it even tougher to land knott?

No it was Kendall

[Tripp McNeely]

Not at all. His only primary was Couch, and he's locked in regardless. Will not be difficult to find a better recruiter

[Dawg-gone-dawgs]

247 says Knox is his primary but I am sure it affects things

[djaymsu5]

I know I swear we have the worst luck I've ever seen out of any other school. Point blank period

[whosyourdawgy]

Guarantee this wasn't supposed to become public. And Buckley is the CB coach by the way. We will need a new safeties coach. I also wonder if this is actually true. It's all over Twitter but everyone is quoting the same source. could this be footballscoop 2.0?

[WesternSkyDawg]

Kendall gave up the 4th and forever against USCe in 2000

Badon gave up the TD to Peerless Price in the Championship Game

Still the most electric sporting event I've ever been to. When 'lightning in a bottle'* returned that punt.....don't have the words.

247 says Knox is his primary

I still think it's us or Bama. All depends on if he is a take for Bama

[raymond21]

Does this make it even tougher to land knott?

Yes. OM bound

[Bdawg]

I like the idea that we keep hiring good coaches, because people keep hiring them away. But at some point I would like to keep them for a little while on defense. Please stay Coach Turner

[WesternSkyDawg]

We put players in the League. We put coaches in the League.

[Ifyouonlyknew]

Yes. OM bound

He's not going to OM.

[msstate7]

Yes. OM bound

That's new... Haven't heard that

[PendingTransaction]

We will still have a NFL secondary coaching staff.

[msstate7]

Wonder how much influence on this hire Sirmon will have

It was definitely Badon.

[Taog Redloh]

Ya'll don't be hatin' on Kendall Roberson. If that dude hadn't gotten hurt he might've been one of the best we've ever had. A good bulldog too, he loves MSU. I had a class with him fall of 2000 and he didn't get over that SCe game all year.

[Really Clark?]

Yes. OM bound

You either forgot these ***, a rebel plant, or moron.

No one is hating on Roberson.

[Msujd164]

DeShea was out recruiting for us today with Knox and Buckley

[Bdawg]

I would think he would have some input. He might bring more candidates to the table too. Hope Townsend didn't feel he was overlooked and started looking elsewhere? Just felt like it came out of nowhere.

That's definitely possible. Plus his family probably likes the bright lights.

[defiantdog]

Looks like we're looking for a safeties coach.... again

[Commercecomet24]

Knott ain't going to OM

[msstate7]

DeShea was out recruiting for us today with Knox and Buckley

Could've been turning his guys over to the other coaches

[state66]

Holy ****ing shit will it ever ****ing end. This shit isnt normal. Our staff turnover rate is ridculous.

[PendingTransaction]

Dan needs retention training.

Feel better now? Got it out of your system? You do know this looks good right? If it's going to happen our DB coach just landed an NFL gig. That does not look bad on us.

[BossDawg]

No shit. I wish we could keep the same staff more than one or two years for once. Why is this such a problem for State? Other teams seem to be able to maintain their coaches, but damn we're like a revolving door...just folks coming in and out as they please it seems.

[engie]

And Bonner, our own beat writer, was unaware that Townsend had been shifted to safeties already with Buckley staying with corners. Unbelievable.

Luckily, we told Knott on his official of Buckley moving over.

No other teams don't really. I would say the vast majority have turnover nearly every year. We just have tunnel vision concerning our team. Coaches change a lot more now than 15-20 years ago.

A little better. But seriously, how are we supposed to pull these big recruits when we are sending a new coach into their house every year?

[RougeDawg]

Dan needs retention training.

Dans arrogance is part of the blame for retention rate.

Let's just say his shine wears off quickly with coaches.

Do I have to say it again...??.
I am anyway....
**** that douche bag mother ****ing prick... It's going to continue until our PR, athletic dept, whoever puts an end to it..

this guy is a joke..

[Really Clark?]

What recruit have truly lost in the past because of a coach leaving? And if Townsend is leaving it doesn't appear to hurt us this year. Diaz and Hughes didn't hurt.

[mic]

Guys DT left for the ****ing NFL...
For a coach that he played for in the pros Dick LeBeau
And it's less that 4 hours from Miss..

I wouldn't call that a lateral move...

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

And Bonner, our own beat writer, was unaware that Townsend had been shifted to safeties already with Buckley staying with corners. Unbelievable.

Also loved his headline, "MSU's Townsend bolts for Titans". I know a lot of folks can't stand him and i realize he's just doing his job and reporting facts, but he does use wording that is "demeaning" at times that rubs me the wrong way. This being one of them. "Bolts for Titans", like he couldn't wait to get the hell out of Starkville.

He made a comment on twitter about basketball the other day, and while factual, it was a backhanded compliment.

Don't think anyone on here calling it a lateral move or blaming him. We just want some retention and consistentcy each year so recruits can at least be comfortable with their position coach.

[Dawg-gone-dawgs]

You talking about the "must-win" comment?

[Sacrifice]

I know when Deshea was hired, he was quoted as saying that's what attracted him to State was the fact that Mullen promoted from within. I didn't expect him to stay in the same spot very long. He wants to climb the ladder.

[gravedigger]

You either forgot these ***, a rebel plant, or moron.

Cast mine for moron

[Dawg61]

Sounds to me like DT was butthurt he didn't get the DC job.

[I seen it dawg]

This thread is full of ****ing stupid.

Sekou Smith, Ian Rapoport. Only reporters i can remember liking that covered State. Only 2 in 20 years? Wow...

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

You talking about the "must-win" comment?

Can't remember Dawg-gone. Do you remember it? Would probably know it if i saw it.

[Dawg-gone-dawgs]

He basically responded to someones tweet talking about needing to beating OM Saturday. The person had said it's a must win...he basically went on about how it was not a Must win and people shouldn't ever say that statement that it really is not a "must win" ....technically it's not a must win but it was just weird that he would respond to that and be so adamant about it.

[gravedigger]

Sekou Smith, Ian Rapoport. Only reporters i can remember liking that covered State. Only 2 in 20 years? Wow...

Yup

[gravedigger]

No more tan the insistance on the "its time" bs at the top of the page, no?

[Todd4State]

Based on his performance against Georgia Tech in the Orange Bowl, Townsend never is going to be a DC either.

[gravedigger]

Agreed.

To be fair, the writers don't do the headlines. They have specific people who choose a headline after the article is written.

[Commercecomet24]

The most accurate statement in this thread.

[Dawg-gone-dawgs]

This is not always true

[PendingTransaction]

Come on! Can't give that assessment based on that game. Not fair.

[Irondawg]

We always heard rumors he was wanting to get back to the NFL so it's not a shock. However he better not settle down. I think that Titans staff is going to be one and done. Just has that feel to me.

[Todd4State]

Come on! Can't give that assessment based on that game. Not fair.

He looked completely lost.

[Bothrops]

Won't miss, on the field or the recruiting trail.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Steve even alluded to being better off long term recruiting wise. Said it wouldn't help short term, but better off long term.

Wait. The Fvck. Up....

what asshole thinks he can do this on MY watch?

[deltadawg99]

2 thoughts on this:
1. This has been in the works since Deshea didn't get the DC job and Buckley was named CB coach
2. No way this was supposed to go public right now. I have a feeling that everybody knew he was leaving but it wasn't supposed to be announced until after signing day.

True. He could have just as easily said he was "lured BACK to the NFL"

[MSUDawg99]

True. He could have just as easily said he was "lured BACK to the NFL"

Or could've just said that "he was goin to the Titans"...make it simple. Bonner is the worst beat writer ever cause of his negativity & "backhanded comp's" toward our fanbase he's supposed to be covering. Why are we stuck with such an asshole that does nothing to help our program in anyway? I don't know if we have a choice or not or if it's solely up to the CL as to who they hire to cover certain fanbases...but he sucks assholes & looks like he has worms. He needs to eat some of Hugh's cheeseburgers. Damn.

[It_Could_Happen]

Bring back Smoot. He just said on twitter he wants to coach again.

[Ifyouonlyknew]

Again? Maybe my mind is drawing a blank but when did he coach the 1st time?

Long term? "Long term" should never be used in the same discussion as our assistants.

Yeah, I was wrong... Thought he gave up td to peerless
