Change the years at top
It can't be many. Because we couldn't score for shit and still won games.
Thanks 7
From 2020-22 ranked top 5 in SEC in: total defense, lowest percentage of big plays allowed, points per possession allowed, fewest rushing TDs and yards allowed, among others.
Ranks in PPG:
6th
7th
9th
10th- head coach year.
In other words he got gradually worse.
What was the point per game in conference play.
I saw that with all games, 23 points per.
Yes, but those are pretty damn good. Look, we all agree he was a terrible HC, but he was a damn good DC. Leach loved him and thought the world of him. Keenum's dumbass put him in that position. He was a post turtle. You know he didn't belong up there on that post but some dumbass put him up there. I bet our defense next season is light years better.

Arnett was great as our DC. If we come close to these numbers this upcoming season, we will have a real shot at 7-8 wins.
Hand-waving but State's ideal:
Defense like 2022 rating
KT takes a step forward in the passing game
Hit on OL in the portal
Hit on a top WR pull from the portal
That team threatens for the playoffs.
Now is that realistic to expect? No. But you can at least see what vision we're going for. Who we keep through the portal window and add will be obviously be the deciding factors on the hype meter - but there is vision. And kudos to all folks involved if we're really setting aside egos like this.

Like Arnett or not he is a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge upgrade from Duntzler who was historically bad. He might be the worst hire in MSU history and that's saying something. I don't know if some of you understand how bad he really was.
I do not have any respect for Arnett. If he apologizes publicly for what he did I might give him a chance but he's not man enough to do that.
And when I say apologize I mean he needs to apologize for what he did to Leach's staff and admit that hiring Barbay was wrong. He needs to apologize for lying to our players and their families. He needs to apologize for his foul language embarrassing MSU on TV during an interview.
Worst hire will ALWAYS be Peter Sirmon....as far as DC goes. Everyone keeps confusing his Head coaching career against his coordinator career. I'm glad to see the guy back because we had an above serviceable level from him as DC and we haven't been there since he was no longer the DC ... I know it's kinda like the Manny Diaz situation coming back but Manny never wanted to be here. Objective reasoning says we can expect improvement... especially since recruitment isn't the Trump card that it used to be
Sooooooooo.....
We just hired a proven SEC DC. Who owns acres of land around Starkville because he and his family loves the area.
We were turned down by others because our NIL is shit and they dont want to be a baller on a budget.
I'm not seeing the problem
