What attributes do you want in a MSU head coach?

[Tbonewannabe]

I was just thinking about how most successful head coaches in the SEC are either assholes or can be.

1) Embrace the fact that we are a blue collar grinder type of team. That is just in our DNA. Joe tried to change us to a finesse type of team and it just didn't work.
2) Expect to play very physical football. We have done the best when we are closer to 60/40 or 55/45 running type of team. We also do the best in a defense where we just get after it. I don't care if it is a 3-4 or 5-2, we want to see RB stuffed at the line and QBs get hammered almost every play.
3) Have a disciplined team. It goes without saying that you have no chance against high level competition if you are not disciplined.
4) You have to recruit to compete in the SEC.

1) Fiery/Passionate
2) Lets his asst. coaches coach but will chew ass
3) Preaches discipline and toughness
4) Good recruiter or knows the value of having good recruiters on his staff

I want someone who has great attention to detail, holds players to a high standard and keeps them accountable, and is willing to adapt when necessary.

That's pretty much it.
