I keep seeing all the experts here wanting a new head coach, so who is it going to be? I see Napier listed alot, but for the life of me I dont know why. Same with Norvell.

For me, you go after Satterfield like we should have the last time.

But my money is on Moorhead being here next year.

I like Ruhle but he's not coming. Harsin is interesting, but he is from Boise, played at Boise and seems to be home. Money talks, but doubt it in this case.

I doubt we could pull satterfield from Louisville, but that would be a great hire. If we're willing to reach out to satterfield, I'd do the same to Dave clawson and Neal brown

Really Clark?

Satterfield will not leave after one year, especially to come here with a smaller budget and tougher division. We missed that possibility 2 years ago

Ruhle is a non-discussion for 95% of all college teams. He just signed an extension and the buyout to leave is enormous. NFL is his next stop most likely.

First, call Whittingham again and make him say no. After he says no, force Louisville?s hand and get in a bidding war for Satterfield until he declines. Why not go for thirds, call up Matt Campbell and make him say no to a raise but his buyout is like $5-6 mil I think & he?s already making $3.5 mil so he?d say no or we wouldn?t be able to entice him away. After all of that, call Mike Norvell and Billy Napier and interview them both. I?d be fine with either one but I?m starting to lean toward Norvell. I also like the idea of Clawson too.

Whit is already a no. We cannot beat Louisville in a bidding war. Y’all do understand they legitimately a Top 20 revenue program in the country. He is not leaving that job for us, especially after just one season.

$4 MIL is lower than his total salary now. Forget his yearly, he has a 6 year contract. To even match what they are paying him, we would have to offer $4.85 MIL per year. So to even get them to talk, $5.5-6 MIL per year but he will not leave them after one year. You can call but don’t waste much time on him.

That’s why I added a presumptuous “no” to the end of the first 3 names I mentioned lol. I think it comes down to Norvell, Napier, maybe HUD/Clark, & id like to see Clawson in the discussion too. But seems like Napier/Norvell is getting the most buzz. But then again, it always seems like there’s that 1 surprise candidate that no one was expecting to emerge.

Which is bringing me to my point. Our HC job isnt any better than the BB HC job that brought in Rick Ray. Our other choice was a UK assistant that was fast and loose in recruiting. The interest may be there with washouts like Butch Jones, guys who wont take the job or local flavors of the day like Clark, Norvell and Napier. Mullen was lightning in the bottle and elevated us into a 7-8 win team. As has been mentioned we can offer 5 million a year and still be stuck with the local flavors. Be careful for what you wish for.

Well Norvall is leaving for a P5 job this year (if he is vets out good this time). Napier either this year or next will be plucked. So the RR analogy doesn’t work with them or several others mentioned. Bill Clark has a much better resume than RR did. So I don’t buy your premise at all.

Guys, if you say Matt Rhule, you might as well say Urban Meyer. Brian Harsin is not a fit and is a no go. We missed our chance at Satterfield and Whittingham 2 years ago. That ship has sailed.

I would definitely reach out to Clawson, Matt Campbell, and Jeff Brohm. I would love any of those 3 but they are likely no's. Some will say Luke Fickell, I just don't think he's a fit and I think he would be a no. If we are going Group of 5, we need a guy who has coached in the SEC.

That brings us to Norvell, Napier, Clark, and Blake Anderson. I would be ok with any of these guys, but comparing resumes, I think Napier is the guy.

That's a really bad take, honestly it's ignorant. Our basketball program was a dumpster fire and no one wanted to touch it after Stansbury. To compare that search to this potential search is apples to oranges. We are a top 50 job in the college coaching profession.

The only way we hire someone of Rick Ray's equivalency if Cohen decides to try and get fancy again and go after some mid-tier teams' RB Coach or OL coach. That would be equivalent of a Rick Ray type hire. He was the 2nd or 3rd assistant on an average Clemson basketball coaching staff.


Norvell and Napier aren't local flavors. Napier has pedigree and has proven to be pretty damn good at UL, while trying to turn it into his own version of Bama-lite. He will recruit better than any coach we've had if I had to guess. This could be a place he stays for quite awhile in my opinion. Norvell, on the other hand, has been a wanted commodity this year and last year. Some rumors about gamblings issues and other things led to a lot of team backing away last year. But his continued success won't keep the right suitors away much longer. The guy is taking 2-3 star talent and turning it into legitimate playmakers instead of making excuses like our current slob. His defense may be his only negative, but if we convince Shoop to stay, that negates any worry.

But hey, you keep living in worry with the but what if mentality, since they are only just the local flavors of the month in your mind.

No one knows if there is any baggage at all. Some of the rumors doesn’t fly. The counter rumor is that there was false stuff planted so ARK would leave him alone. Some said he was gambling a lot and was an issue, even shady gambling which he wouldn’t even be coaching if that was true.

I'll just say that I have been a State fan from the time I was a student here. I saw Tech and ten. I've had season tickets for years and bleed maroon. I want what's best for us over the long haul. If I can live through the Felker and Croom years, I can live through anything. I just dont like our odds this year of getting a difference maker at coach. I want what's best, and if that's replacing Moorhead so be it, but I like our chances of running the table and at that point, I'm not sure we make a change.

Based on how these things normally go, it would probably be someone we aren?t even talking about right now (don?t know if that?s good or bad).

Realistically, Napier or Clark would probably be the most likely options today.

I know he's turned down a lot HC offers over the years, and he says he's happy where he's at, but man, I'd love to have this dude as our coach.

It'd be guaranteed that our ass would be ready to play every week.

I would love Venables but I don?t think he would come here. He?s one of the highest paid assistants in the country. I think if he ever takes a HC job it will be a bigger one than ours.

I doubt we could pull satterfield from Louisville, but that would be a great hire. If we're willing to reach out to satterfield, I'd do the same to Dave clawson and Neal brown

I agree about Satterfield or Neal Brown, but we are probably too late now. Either would been a great hire, but Cohen chose to go in another direction.

Clawson is the only one I think we have a shot at, and I don't think it's a good shot

We might hire a bad coach, so we should just keep our current bad coach - bobcat

We might have the next Frank Beamer on campus right now!*******

As it is my guess would be Napier or Hud.

I'm not sure that Cohen would risk another potential Cann situation with Norvell. I also think hiring Clark would be a major risk compared to the resume's of the other candidates. Unless he has Joe Brady in line to be our OC. Right now they're 8th in scoring offense and 10th in total offense in C-USA and are averaging fewer points than Joe is right now.

1. Freeze (that ain't happening) 2. Gus (if he gets fired and if he doesn't go to Ark) 3. Rich Rod

I hope you are trolling with your first choice but a few others have said it and I will say it...if Freeze is ever a part of our program, even if it's assistant to the assistant jock strap washer, I'm done with Mississippi State football. So quit throwing out the hypocrite's name.

I have heard we could get Brown if we wanted him. Wouldn't even have to bump his pay that much. Unfortunately, his star has faded a little bit, but he was left with Holgorsens ruins at WVU. He'd love to get back in the SEC as a HC, but I don't know if there's much difference in quality between he and Napier. Napier is a better recruiter and runs a run heavy scheme. Brown is an air raid guy. Think Napier is the better fit of those two tbh.

Venables was my first choice two years ago. Wish we could get him to come. But doubt he would leave where he's at with his son on Clemson's team and another one on the way.

He's a low down dirty SOB, but a winner. He's probably not getting back in the SEC anytime soon, and even it so, it wouldn't be at MSU.

I'd love Gus, and be open to Rich Rod.

Wasn't JWS "radioactive" when we signed him on in 90/91? Tired of this, bring in a good coach...that can coach and win.

I'm good. That would be an awful hire. He's been average at best this year, after taking over an extremely stacked program.

Need to wait a few years. Looks like last year he just rode what Frost already had in place. Need to make sure he can develop and run a program on his own.

You are going to hide from me in a few weeks

Hiya Bobcat! Said we would bookmark this thread, figured this would be a good time to bump this thread since you thought I would be hiding from you a few weeks ago. That Norvell was radioactive and wouldn?t be hired because of his baggage....he?s going to FSU. The best job available this cycle. Another troll job or ignorantly speaking in absolutes about his background...but at least you claimed I would hide from you like your a badass...dumbass

Yep, I'll man up. There is something in his background that no SEC school would touch. FSU is another matter. Congrats Seminoles. You hired the hot mediocre coach.

Makes the hair on my neck stand up. But he is right, you really can't teach toughness. You got it or you don't. But if you have a coach who doesn't demand it, things could get a little lax throughout your program. I feel we are experiencing some of this right now.
