Steve let that thing get way out of hand before he said anything. And his original post didn't help matters.

Will Friend hired as the OL coach
Are we promoting miller to OC? If not, I don?t get why we wouldn?t have just kept him for OL coach
Seems that Will Friend will be hired as the OC coach.
Everyone at 247 is that way. They manage to stay one step below the crap Barstool puts out. I don't trust anything those guys say. They are notorious for saying stuff that isn't factual then pull the, "things changed at the last minute." The only bright side is they managed to get all of those morons under one roof instead of across multiple websites.
Fiend is the OL coach? And we hired Bumphis... all while having NO OC. And we may promote Bracky from within?
Seems to me the "good ole boys" are running the show and CZA is bending over and spreading it for them. What OC wants to come to a place where 100% of his staff is picked? But CZA and the boosters don't seem to care. Makes you terrified of what they expect to hire. if it's a "familiar name" as was mentioned earlier it's no doubt another good ole boy hire and not who's best for the program.
I'm off Arnett, regardless of who the OC is. The fact he let Hollinghead and Miller get downgraded and BoBo is a name at all = he is in over his head/is paying back the boosters that got him to be HC by letting them pick the staff. I'll watch the games but if we don't win 8+ my opinion of Arnett won't change. What a *****
"Will Friend, a veteran SEC coach and heralded recruiter, has been hired to Mississippi State's football staff at a position to be named later, head coach Zach Arnett announced Friday."
Friend can recruit a little
If they let Miller go, this is just absurd. Keenum must be a moron to let this go on.
If CZA is going from not considering a modernized Air Raid Concept Offense (which we hope he is not) to a Triple Option type one then why don't we just hire either Navy, Army, or the Air Forces" OC. I am being a little facetious but if he was really seriously considering Bobo somebody needs some help and guidance. JMO
Friend is NOT a good hire, Auburn fans hated him. I love Bumphos and he may be great but his resume is weak as hell and Utah fans on Reddit don't mind him leaving. Peterson is a good hire
You cannot possibly disagree that these are Good Ole Boy hires, can you? Replace 2 good coaches with 2 guys with MS ties, and bring back a analyst that used to work here. Arnett has never met these people- the boosters have. Who is calling the shots here?
Even if you disagree that the boosters are running the show, why the hell is Bobos name brought up at all? Whether we hire him or not, the fact he's been names is a red flag for whoever is calling the shots.
I've lost a lot of confidence in Zach Arnett. Not as much as I've lost in Mark Keenum though. Just sloppy as hell.
Friend is absolutely a good hire. He put together an offensive gameplan in a week that almost beat us. He's a good OL coach. We've done well so far with him and Bump. Let's see how the rest shakes out
Im not sure how some of you feel that this has been a train wreck? I mean, none of us are on the inside and really know how it?s going. We are getting reports from Steve, Paul, and those that think they know shit on here. We don?t know how this is really going down. Yet, some on here are throwing CZA under the bus and saying you?re ready to pull funding and this is a shit show. Y?all are some dumbasses.
Some of y'all have lost it. Prob the same people that thought Miller was a shit hire 3 years ago and bitched about the OL splits
