CZA post-practice

https://youtu.be/Eg38O-VpL4Q


I don't know if this group will be good at football, but they'll be harder than woodpecker lips.

"South Farm is now a right of passage to play on this team."

This team is going to be tougher than petrified leather. We ain't gonna be soft. If we get the offense clicking we are going to surprise some folks.

The hallmark of MSU has and should always be tough teams in all three sports.

We lost it with Polk ii and have again currently on baseball. Hopefully we get that back.

I love his transparency and his quick wit. I almost died laughing at his response about Isaac Smith. This dude gets it! HailState

Thanks for the link. Won't be long until kickoff. 7-5 floor and 9-3 ceiling! Hail State!

Moorhead took them to the water park, Zach to the South Farm. I remember when opponents said they hated playing our hard nosed, tough teams even if they won. Hope those days are back and we win many more than we lose! Hail State!

I guess most of the guys on here know that CCA won state championships in high school baseball. Can he just coach our baseball team too - he is the opposite of Lemonis.

Damn straight. Watching Kansas State push our guys around on both sides of the ball in 2019 pissed me off.

Hopefully, gone are the days of them being a bunch of limp D***s

Moorhead was asked once about moving away from the farm and basically said ?why would I not use all of these facilities designed for football and player safety over a farm?? And that?s understandable until I went to a Moorhead practice and it was like watching a flag football camp.

Bulldog football is back. CZA gets it. He is all Dawg. South farm, bull castration, etc.

We'll see how the on field coaching goes but CZA looks like a great fit for MSU. Some others just were not MSU fits.

Remember Moorhead fall camp at Geyser Springs using the facilities.

There are so many things that go into being a successful head football coach. Some of those things the coach can control, and some the coach can't control. Only time will tell if Arnett is a good head coach. But I don't think I've ever had a head coach at MSU in any sport that I have wished success on more than Arnett. I really want this guy to succeed. I can't put my finger on it, but there is just something about him that makes me root for him. There is just something about him that is the right mix of likeability, hardass, edge, old-school, and new-school. I really want him to succeed.

We were tough with Leach, too. I think Arnett can potentially take us to the next level, though.

I could not have said it better myself. I can see what everyone else saw in him. He is just a dude. He is teachable and has a lot of head coaching experience surrounding him. I think we are in good hands.

That interview sounded like Saban giving and interview. Quick witted, diplomatic.

Saban would have gone on some rant about NIL or teams leaving conferences and scare reporters.

Bitched about hurry up offense and tried to change the rules. IMO Satan is Rev Freeze on the defensive side without the moral issues. Wins by cheating and paying for players better than anyone else. Satan is smarter about it by having underlings handle the Dirty work.

What's the word out of practice? Is offense holding their own vs defense?

For every one of those interviews that Saban gives, he gives 20 like what Zach did there.

Clearly not used to defending the wishbone***

Some folks are going to be pleasantly surprised with our receivers. Robinson appears to have figured some stuff out. "Noodle arm" has been looking pretty good. Running backs have a nice little competitive group and we aren't going to miss DJ. I think we will surprise all these expert pundits.

We will be pretty good offensively when all is said and done

Yeah, I thought we were tough under Leach as well. We were SOOOFT under Moorhead though, save for guys like Simmons. I still think back on the 2018 Kentucky game and how we had all those penalties and totally lost our cool. Of all teams, you are going to let freaking Kentucky get under your skin? This was when we had won like 8 of the last 9 against them, too.

The individual players were tough under Leach. The offensive scheme didn't lend itself to just running people over. I think the new scheme will help with that.

Yeah he went to a team that passed it 6th most in the country this year. Would have been better for him to have stayed if he actually wants to run it more.

The personnel won't. We're not going to line up and run over Bama, lsu, ky, auburn, Aggie.
But the scheme could help us run the ball decently. See lane.

Saban is just beginning his journey to becoming Polk 2.0. The more he loses to Georgia, the more he's going to get on the soapbox of NIL/Portal issues.

DJ leaving this team was exceptionally overblown as far as the importance of it goes. Running backs are a dime a dozen. He won’t be drafted. He’s just a decent tailback

The only team we haven't been able to line up and run it recently is Alabama. The remaining teams mentioned have been torched and felt the ground and pound throughly by us.

Agree with U msudog, and don?t forget lsu and tnn that they lost to last year. I just hope Bama keeps on loosing to these teams.

He was needed for depth. No question in my mind our running game would be stronger with him.

His biggest issue is he loses so much of his staff every year. It would be like us literally having the same head coach and then changing the rest of the staff completely over every two years. It's hard to have consistency and continuity when that happens. And there are only so many Kirby Smart's and Sarkisian's he can hire as coordinators.
