Fire them now/Fire them after Egg Bowl/Keep em

Make a deal with new coach/agent right now.

By firing him now you avoid the risk of him keeping his job by winning the egg bowl, that is a long shot, but its possible.

I just don't see how we keep him at this point. I really thought we could win last night, but 3 points against a Kentucky team that gave up 28 points to Vandy is just inexcusable.

More than anything his decision to scrap the AR was just dumb. Its always been dumb and we are paying the price now. Everyone that mocked those of us who were worried about the switch being drastic and claiming that we were claiming we were going to run the triple option, can go pound sand right now.

A deal might have already been done with someone who wasn't available last year.

At this point I'm hoping it's true. He wasn't my preferred candidate but now I'd love to have him. Arnett has changed my feelings.

Yeah, I kinda thought we might keep it close with UK and maybe even squeeze out a close one. This was an ass whooping. We were never in the game and never threatened UK to come back whatsoever. I said on another thread if this happened he should be fired before the end of the season. I think it's time to pull the plug.

Who we referring to here?

Oh really? What's the rumor about this?

Listen to Hadads T L thrusday podcast. It might not be Merls but his name was mentioned.

In my 68th year of life with 60 years of watching State in person, I am well beyond the days of beat OM and everything is all right. The product on the field is no longer worth the co$t of watching, as shown by a half full DWS at the half last night. Fire them now and show we made a mistake and are serious about being in the SEC. Make Tony Hughes or 100% winning percentage coach Greg Knox iterim. Have a real nationwide search and hire a real SEC capable HC. Apathy and a loss of hope are here for vast majority of MSU fan base.

Mullen is the rum

So the newest bldg under construction in front of the new strip mall on HWY 12 is indeed a target?****

That's even worse than Lemonis had back in June. If Arnett returns, it will be an even worse example of Selmon failing to listen to the fanbase.

Listen to Hadads T L thrusday podcast. It might not be Merls but his name was mentioned.They was going through the names like everybody does here. They said they would kicks the tires on Mullen cause he has been here before. He knows how to win in Starkville. He would revamp the fanbase.

Weren't they two of Arnett's biggest sunshine pumpers?

Yeah. I wouldn't listen to them when it comes to coaching searches.

[Pancho]

Not a soul on this site will know any potential names if Selmon is top notch. I'm assuming the move is made by early next month to aid the december signing period.

[Ranchdawg]

I can assure y?all if Zach is going to be replaced at end of season the wheels are already turning for new coach.

I had a good friend that played under Bill Curry at Ga Tech. He and Curry became good friends. He became a huge Ga Tech booster. He invited me and my wife to Atlanta for the Univ of Georgia vs Ga Tech. While in Atlanta my friend asked me to ride with him that he was going to Bill Curry?s house to deliver Christian presents to the Curry?s. We went in the Curry?s big house and I was introduced. Coach Curry proceeded to tell my friend that he would be stepping down as Ga Tech?s coach and in several weeks would be announced as Univ Alabama new head coach. Friend was devastated. Coach Curry ask looking in my direction to please keep this information secret as it wasn?t going to be formally announced in several weeks.
It took aprox 3weeks for it to be announced.

My emotions say fire him after the Egg and that's not taking a chance because we're definitely not winning that game.... but my head says (no matter what my heart says) .... we have to give him another year .... it's going to be hard enough getting another coach that's worth his salt to come here without seeing us fire a first year coach . Whoever comes needs to believe they will have a reasonable shot at a rebuild with administrative and fan support .... disclaimer: jmo as I'm no expert

I hear you on the one year aspect. However, I do think coaches, though the media might not portray it this way, understand that this was really a glorified tryout for Arnett. The deck was stacked and for whatever reasons, he didn't overcome it.

Ultimately, this isn't a bad deal for Arnett either. He got early HC experience in the SEC compared to most people's career trajectory plus $4.5M. I'm sure a lot of teams will want a DC with his experience afterward. He'll be a HC again later.
