Stabilization complete. Now go get some dudes fellas.
Let's do this!!
Wow, wasted no time. It's a gamble but I'll support him.
Hail State!!!!
Then let's 17'in go then! Let's get it!!
Big gamble but I love his defense. Better get a good OC. I probably would have a least waited till after the bowl game. Least experienced coach in the SEC now. Might pay off, but I feel like this was a rushed emotional decision. I like Arnett though, hope it works out
This immediately holds the team intact and now the OC is the most important issue regardless of who the AD is.
Let?s go! Young, hungry coach who the players love. Hence the last two days- Portal commitments from LSU and Miami.
MSU better hire an experienced OC otherwise we're going into next year with an inexperienced head coach, OC and DC.
If he calls his own defense at least the DC part would be experienced.Quote:

He learned under Rocky who called his own defenses as HC. Then Rocky turned over game day calling to Zach but installed the game plan and was heavily involved. I look for Zack to do something similarQuote:

With us not having to pay him a huge salary we can use the excess to hire great coordinators and staff to surround him. He at least gives us continuity. Let's get behind Zack, the players and staff and support the heck out of them!
Interesting that DC's that move up need a DC to fill in, but OC's that move up still call the game as the HC (Ex: Leach and Mullen).Quote:

Congrats arnett.
This only means one thing / the pirate had already had this in place. He is no more of a gamble than any other coach we could hire at this point and he keeps the roster together. Let's roll!!
I’m having New Orleans Saints- Dennis Allen PTSD. I hope he runs the same offense. Arnett should be able to keep our defense intact.
Isn't Arnett on record that he and his family like Starkville? That should be important
You can't wait till after the bowl game under these circumstances. Our current players wanted to know and needed to know as soon as it was practical and some of our commits had second thoughts not knowing who the coach would be.Quote:

Bring in an air raid guy off the tree and we are set.
Needed to be done. Hire a guy who will run the updated version of the Air raid and hire a QB coach who will work with the QBs,
Loves it! Just bought bunch of land. He's one of us!Quote:

Yeah any coach is a gamble, because you don't know how they will work out in your particular situation until they actually are your coach.Quote:

Yes. Hail State!Quote:

We already have an experienced oc on staff.
Why would you just assume this - he has more control of his guys than any other coordinator in America. He can handle the responsibility - name a coach that would be less of a gamble and would definitely come here.Quote:
