OC Hot Board Version 3-Let's Try This Again [Archive] - Page 3

Ok lets address some stuff:

1) Friend was so "well respected" that post Auburn firing Memphis was all he could get. Auburn fans hated him. before that he was at TN and TN fans thought the OL was under performing their star rating (I live in TN country so know them well). Before that he was a bad OC at CSU, don't know how that OL did.
`
The fact is we just poached Memphis' OL coach after every P5 program passed on him this offseason.

2) Bumphis does not have the resume to deserve this job. I'm sorry, I hope he does great, but he just doesn't... Great college player, had a cup of coffee in the league, GA, WR coach for a few years an his unit did NOT impress, and the fans of that team are fine with him leaving.

The fact is we let Hollinghead walk for the above resume because Dawg. And I get it, I want bump to be a stud coach more than I'm pulling for any other assistant. But it's maroon colored glasses to say this isn't a downgrade.

3) Chaney and Bobo. Yeah I get it, "we aren't hiring either", but when Steve got his marching orders why were they even mentioned? WHo in this coaching search is thinking "Jim Chaney, tell the fans that's who were looking at so we can guage the reaction"? You have 2 reasons to leak a name- 1) is to distract from the real hire, 2) is to see if the fans are ok with the leaked name. Well there's no big hire coming so 1) isn't it. If it was 1) we'd have head smokescreens while the Briles stuff was going on, not now

This all reeks of cigar. There is no denying it.

Friend is a good coach- period.
Bump is replacing Spurrier- who was told he wasnt going to be retained
Hollingshead was told he wasnt getting the OC job. So he started working the phones. He was not run off

Friend is NOT a good hire, Auburn fans hated him. I love Bumphos and he may be great but his resume is weak as hell and Utah fans on Reddit don't mind him leaving. Peterson is a good hire

You cannot possibly disagree that these are Good Ole Boy hires, can you? Replace 2 good coaches with 2 guys with MS ties, and bring back a analyst that used to work here. Arnett has never met these people- the boosters have. Who is calling the shots here?

Even if you disagree that the boosters are running the show, why the hell is Bobos name brought up at all? Whether we hire him or not, the fact he's been names is a red flag for whoever is calling the shots.

Reddit users are much more causal and not good gages.

If you went to Utah's 24/7 board you would have saw they were very upset he was losing and called it a big loss.

Bump is not a good ole boy hire, he is a great coach who happens to be an alum.

Also y'all overrate the hell out of Jr. because of his freaking last name.

You're playing dumb. Friend failed at his last 2 jobs and the best job he could get pre us was Memphis. That is the FACT, "hes a good coach-Period" is your OPINION. My guess is you know Friend personally

And you know we could have moved Hollingshead to WR to replace Spurrier. Regarding Hollingshead leaving because he wasn't OC, I don't believe that. He's not going to get an OC job anywhere. He was pushed out

I call BS on Hollinghead rumor.

Number 2 is not true. Again, the plugged in fans on their 24/7 board were all saying how sad it was he is leaving, how they would miss him, and that it is a huge loss.

Anybody who uses Reddit as their gauge of the fanbase's opinion is not worth arguing with. And I use R/CFB all the time.

I would be happy with him as TE coach, I'll give him that. Miller is a very good OL coach and if he's not the Ol coach next year we downgraded- that's my point in all this. Friend is a plus hire at TE coach, a minus hire at OL

It's no rumor on Hollingshead. He was fielding opportunities the previous weeks. He was up front about it and we were up front about what we were doing. He didn't "get fired" and land upward to an OC job in Division 1. They had already been in discussions prior to the bowl game.

Friend grades in the top 20% of all FBS OL coaches since 2009 per the numbers (look at Matrix Analytical). It's a solid hire.

And like I said in the other thread, it's not Bobo and never was.

And the next HC and TN and Auburn chose to not retain Friend. You know, like how we might (and hopefully will) retain Miller? FRIEND IS AT MEMPHIS. When Matt Luke got fired from OM he got a job as the OL coach at UGA because he's a good OL coach. When MUllen got canned at UF Hevesy got fired with him and is now an analyst at GT, because he's not a good OL coach. Friend is better than Hevesy but he's not as good as Miller at OL. BUT, big BUT here, I'd happily take him as TE or RB coach. He's got connections

You are getting hung up on coaches having to take a step down. That?s not really indicative of their coaching abilities. Just as a recent example, Sonny Dykes was fired at Cal and had to take a job as an analyst at TCU before landing the SMU job. What?s he doing now?

I think we're all guilty of having tunnel vision at times when it comes to players/coaches that we like. When one leaves or gets replaced, it makes us mad, and we can't/won't see that it isn't always a bad thing

Man you nailed it. This is so true. Before my sons freshman year of hs the school let go a very popular baseball coach who'd been there a long time but ran kind of a country club. They beat who they were supposed to beat but always had an early exit in playoffs. Lot of parents got pissed off because the new coach ran off the deadwood, started playing the underclassmen and within 3 years won the schools first state championship. Change always affects people some embrace it some hate it and can't deal with it but many times it's for the better.

the_real_MSU_is_us

01-06-2023, 09:15 PM

I mean he ran a really good offense against us on short prep

Are you advocating for him to be OC? I trust the opinions of fans who watch every game over how a guy did in 1 game vs us too. That's why I don't care about any "top 20%" random computer ranking BS. Fans know their teams better than computers do

If Friend isn't retained, and then isn't retained by the next school he lands at (and is hated by the fanbase there) and then lands at Memphis, I will agree he's probably not an elite OL coach and I was wrong.

Dude, it was just an off handed comment. Good grief. I don't give a craps what fans say. Coaches in college that I know and from the fraternity know he is a really good OL coach. Period. He's good. Miller is good but you are letting your fandom for one coach override who are actually good coaches at their job. Friend has been consistently for over a decade been consider a top OL coach.

It's USUALLY a sign. Just like good coaches aren't always retained when a HC changes, but USUALLY the administration tried to get the new HC to keep the studs. If a guy goes through multiple coaching changes (in this case it's TN and Auburn) and isn't retained... well he MIGHT be a great coach, but the odds are low. Would I hire him over a G5 Ol coach that fields poor units? Yes. Would I hire him over Miller as OL coach? No. That's my point. Happy to have him if we can keep Miller as the OL coach

I think hate is a little over blown. KB this past season had fans who got upset with him in some games . Said he was too conservative in his play calling (probably Pittman) and some even wanted him fired. Fans aren't in the locker room or on the field either.

Coaching is a fraternity? Close, but nah. It's a good old boys club. And you don't trust fans? Fans watch the games, know the recruiting profiles, see every false start. Coaches are wrong often- remember Mullen running Holloway? JoMo doing literally anything he did on O? Coaches can have flaws that fans see. If a fanbase agrees a coach did a bad job, usually that coach did a bad job

Whatever. Most fans and I mean nearly all of them only watch the ball and see a result. They don't breakdown each player, position group and play call to know why it failed or succeed.

Friend is a good OL coach. Miller is a good OL coach. Both are on staff right now and we are hoping to keep it that way if possible.

Playoffs is the only measure of a good season? I would say there are many more "good seasons" on that list, but sure 3/4 of the playoff teams are on the list and both you'll see Monday

I missed fl state. I guess UCLA did OK. Read another post after my comment that pointed out d on a lot of those teams was what cost them (tsun comes to mind). I was hasty with that post.

I really just don't want to go back to 3 yards in a cloud of dust. We have to have a good passing attack to compete. Even if the split is 60/40 70/30 run. You have to have a good passing game to throw off the d and have big plays to open the run like kiffen briles or heupel. IMO Dan spread power didn't really have that

This is really the only move I'm scratching my head over. I don't know anything about Friend, but surely miller is better, right? I thought he was like a top 15 CFB ol coach. I know he isn't gone yet, but I don't see a position for him besides oc and I don't think we want that.

the_real_MSU_is_us

01-06-2023, 09:47 PM

Look I hope I'm wrong on everything. I hope Bump does great, CZA does great, the OC we hire does great, Friend is an elite coach and C34 calls me an idiot every Sunday morning over my opinions expressed here. I think a lot of people have maroon colored glasses if the rumors aren't a concern... terrible OC names, rumors we want to focus on MS recruiting, that CZA wants to run a grind it out O, hiring coaches befire we get an OC which will drive off some candidates... but I hope I'm wrong and will bow out of these discussions till a OC is named. Hailstate!

mo7888

01-07-2023, 10:44 AM

I believe after ZA was announced he said in an interview we were continuing with the air raid and since we've gone after Briles and then the Bobo stuff yesterday. It sort of feels like he's got outside pressure on him to make a change and, with no AD to shield him that's gotta be tough. I hope he goes back to his original statement and sticks with the AR in some form. As for OC names today, I still like Hatcher but I wouldn't be mad if we circled back and spoke with Littrell again. He'd bring some veteran experience to assist a young coach and ZA could probably sell that to whoever is pressuring him. If we strike out on both then I'm fine with promoting Miller.

I doubt we get any clarity over the weekend with the visitors we have in but, as crazy as the last few days have been you never know..

Because when you have only been at one school for your entire time, like every one of ours has, you have very few contacts in the coaching profession and in other parts of the country. So they have to rely on agents. If they stopped listening to agents then they would have nothing to report.

I would love to go up tempo and have a much more balanced attack. This will put more stress on our defense though. Quick scores and up tempo tends to leave your D on the field a lot

Well they should be used to it against good teams. We probably possessed it pretty decent on weaker teams but our O disappeared quite often, which left the D on the field a lot too. We were gassed in some 4 th quarters this year! Up tempo that leads to scores is much better and longer possessions than 3 and outs.

And yes, I hope we stay pass happy but incorporate a much more sophisticated run game.

Because when you have only been at one school for your entire time, like every one of ours has, you have very few contacts in the coaching profession and in other parts of the country. So they have to rely on agents. If they stopped listening to agents then they would have nothing to report.

Arnett has no coaching contacts outside of SDSU and his time at State, Leach probably had more coaching contacts and national respect than all but a handful of coaches in the country. That speaks to program building. When you wholesale fire a bunch of good coaches word gets around, coaching is a fraternity. I think Arnett is going to have a hard time attracting a good staff, but that probably doesn’t matter either. The one qualification to coach at State seems to be if you are a Mississippi high school coach good ol boy, not a recipe for national success.

So to update things: The hire will not be Chris Hatcher or Kevin Johns. Ellis from GSU has gained some steam in the last 24 hours. I have said since the beginning that I thought it would be Shannon Dawson. No inside info just gut feeling.

I watched some of GSU highlights earlier and it looked like an offense most would be happy with. Lot's of passing but they ran the ball a little over 35% of the time. But Dawson would also be a good fit imo.

My guess, it'll be an OC that's got some QB development on his resume. As much as I hated our offense, Im not going to lie, im a little concern about this hire.

The issue is some fans thought that we would just throw money and some known OC and that was all there is to it- they would jump.

But when you're paying a coach 3 million it's hard to go above 1.5 even if the money is "there".

And also established OC's aren't going to be totally impressed with who some MSU fans demand to have as assistants in place- see Bumphis and Friend. They may want to bring their own staff in. Right now we have about half a staff filled out- maybe more on that side of the ball including two o-line coaches which is a pretty important hire for coaches.

Add in a unknown as a head coach with Arnett.

So we're probably going to be looking at guys like Casey Woods that are young and up and comers if I had to guess that aren't necessarily household names that have "some question marks" and some risk. But at least we have a veteran QB and a veteran offensive line plus some talent at WR and RB to work with. We just need to be smart with our scheme and find someone that fits them. If we do that we can have a really good year with even an average OC.

Yea but they did not want it leaked. They wanted to keep this one close to the vest, unfortunately with some of the people we now have on staff that will be almost impossible.

Well if they didn't want it leaked Then the Rat is the person who told it to Steve, not Steve.

Being a little too hard on Steve here.
Also, ZA and every person in our admin knows if you tell Steve/Paul/ Robbie info then expect it to be leaked. That's the hole point of telling them.

If it was any other beat guy, I'd agree with you on being too harsh... but Steve does nothing but find ways to use the university and his connections to fuel his own ego. His holier than thou attitude is a bit much for a 17'n beat writer.

There's blame to go around on both sides. I do agree that the staff member, I won't out him on a public forum but I know who it is, shouldn't have told him anything but I also think Steve needs to know when to hold stuff and when to post it. He runs to GP every time someone gives him any kind of scoop and posts it like a look at me and what I found everyone tell me how awesome I am.

If the KB stuff taught him anything it should've taught him to shut the hell up when we're in negotiations with a coach.

I think Meacham could be the hire. And I would be ok with that one.

No interest there at all. You guys need to stop listening to Rosey. He won't know much faster than the rest of us.

Sure wish Steve would find him another gig and leave State alone.

There's some interest. A lot more than there is in Kevin Johns or Chris Hatcher....of which there is none. In no way saying that will be hire, but both Meacham and Ricker are being looked at.

I agree CC . What would be best for MSU athletics would be for him to find another gig or retire and Paul hopefully buy him out. I feel sorry for Paul having to put up with all that arrogance. And change the name to something like Bulldawg247 or maybe even Dawgsbite247. I know one member over there who has better sources than Steve does and he doesn't throw something on the wall to see if it will stick.

100% agree there. I had hoped after the first book that Steve would step away from reporting and be an author full time. That would've allowed Paul to take over completely once Gene stepped away. Paul, although he gets into pissing matches with a few posters over there, is pretty professional and his info is usually pretty good.

Yep and steve will leak info that they aren't suppose to at times abd leak even more info that isn't true.

Yeah like his fabricated list of candidates he put out there after Briles said no.

I think the crappiest thing he did was say there was going to be an assistant coach hired today and you should be able to connect the dots to see who the new OC is once the assistant coach is announced. He set the fire and then he let the members take it and run with it. No use embarrassing Bobo like that but I guess he doesn't care.

That was never going to happen because Gene promised Genespage to Steve long before they merged with 24/7.

Steve is emotional, and he takes things personally. Those two things don’t tend to help someone in his line of work. He is a really, REALLY good writer, though. If he went into the book side of things, I think he’d be better off.

When CML died Rosie was on 2-3 national CFB podcasts being interviewed about Leach. He always found a way to work in that he and Mike were authors and he had written several books. To me it's tacky, or as the kids say cringey, to hear him peddling his book in an interview about Leach.

Neither of those is being hired by Arnett, Neither. Anyone thinking that's the case is mistaken. We'd have to hire Co-OCs. One has never called plays and one was only successful with a Co OC.
Arnett isn't stupid. He won't see them at the conference either. Neither are really QB guys, one is an OL guy which we don't need. There's just nothing there.

Steve is a solid reporter that covers State. Thats his job. He has good info more times than not. With Arnett locking things down- nobody has info right now.

His first book was pretty good and he had helped bring down Freeze. His second book had a very misleading title was was very meh.

LOL. I remember one time some Ole Miss fan somehow hacked into Steve's DM on his Twitter account and posted it on Twitter. It appeared from that Scott Stricklin who was the AD at the time was the one feeding him a LOT of his info.

I was a little bit surprised at how much recruiting detail our AD knew to be honest with you.
