I know this name sounds ridiculous, but I think it would be a great fit, especially since Auburn has Freeze.Forgiveness and all that stuff. Bobby Petrino. Sounds crazy , but he puts up points.

A spread offense based on power running similar to what Auburn ran under malzahn fits our recruiting base better.
Hell I don't know anymore. I just hope whatever it is , it turns out good for us.
Hail State.
i haven’t read last 5 pages or so, and i’m not a State guy, but a name that was mentioned in LSU chat circles.
what about Rich Rodriguez?
no, not true Air Raid.
but his version of the spread Option wouldn’t require a complete flip of your roster.
could take over right now, and have almost immediate success.
has ties to LA, MS, AL, and SC for recruiting purposes.

I bitched about how I didn't think the air raid in its purest form could work.Quote:

Will apparently has 2 years of eligibility left according to SEC Network. You run the offense he knows already. We don’t need to change anything.
We're stuck hiring Arnett to keep recruits and current players. The same ones recruited to play in the air raid. Everyone can forget any other candidates unless Arnett just doesn't want it (He does). If we were hiring a new coach with a system, it wouldn't be a problem.Quote:

Did somebody honestly just suggest Rich Rod for our new head coach? That's a thing that just, actually happened?Quote:

No doubt we could offer him way more money than Houston, would just depend if he wants to leave TX and follow in his mentor's footsteps.
Mullen and Monken are the only qualified candidates at this point. Zach Arnett is unqualified now and should not even receive an interview.
I suppose the moderator disagrees, because none of my pro-Mullen statements get posted, and the board is littered with dumb pro-Arnett propaganda. Zach Arnett is the Rick Ray of football and would be a terrible mistake. State should make him the highest-paid DC in America, not head coach.
But I suppose nobody will read this?
The mod is not posting pro-Mullen comments. They censure more than pre-Musk Twitter. That is why we are reading the most absurd candidates; the moderators want Arnett.
Well it was an LSU fanQuote:

I have never seen such censorship in my life.
Wouldn't surprise me if Arnett is named end of the week. Got to have some things settled by signing day.Quote:

This the same SOB said leach would never come? Just go be a fan of someone else. You are lame.Quote:

We are in a unique position. Leach has assembled an awesome coaching staff. I wouldn't change anything about it.
He has us nearly fully transitioned over to the Air Raid system. We have continuity on defense with Arnett.
It makes sense to go after one of his former players/students of the game. The new HC will be walking into a team ready to take off.
The whole silver lining to Joe Moorhead is we got a warning about having a veteran team and then trying to undergo a massive shift in philosophy.Quote:

Don't forget Kellan Moore....who called a play where all 5 pass catchers ran the same depth curl-routes and all broke at the same time.**Quote:

For real. I don't why this is such a hot take hereQuote:

Mike Gundy (we're not getting him to leave Ok St.)
If we're looking at two equally risky candidates, why would you take the one that guarantees a difficult transition?
