Yes he was the problem. He reduced the AR concepts, demanded we run 11 and 12 personnel when you, me, and not 1 damn poster will ever claim we have TEs that can get done what he is trying.Quote:

This! And Arnett listened to good ole boys. It actually comes through on this site at times also.Quote:

I thought the signing of Parson was a big sign of where the AR was headed at MSU. A big arm, and mobile also. We did seem to go big game hunting in QB recruiting. And to start adding some of the running game. I felt we were headed to a modified AR like other AR coaches have, which would have been perfect for MSU to offset the talent of other SEC schools.Quote:

But Arnett has had 4 years to establish his own defense, since Leach allowed him to do whatever.
I think it is more of watching games this season with CZA listening to a HS coach every 90 seconds through the game, and looking lost. And that we were starting to recruit QB's and skill players for this offense as a group, that we had never had at MSU.Quote:

Calling fans of the AR as cultist is much, but I saw that offense run for years living in TX, and it neutralizes more talented teams.
MSU needs that in some way, but it just seemed very stupid of Arnett and those in his ear to go 180 and scrap it when they had all the upper classmen that only knew that system.
The other thing, I am wondering is MS High Schools, compared to TX HS and other states, is in the dark ages of running offenses. It seems even on here that HS coaches in MS are clinging to the wing T.
The QBs in junior high in TX go in the summer for coaching clinics from Heisman winners, and former NFL QBs. They learn to study film in junior high, at a complex level.
I wasn't talking about you. It's the few cultist that spam the board and are being hypocritical with their views at times. I loved Leach and have defended him and Will over the years but also called them out when they were not working. My biggest fear was the old AR just wasn't going to work in this league to the same level as it did out west, too much defensive talent and better defensive coaching. I understand Leach would be hard to change what had been successful for him in the past but it had to update. Very slowly it was beginning to evolve.Quote:

Coaches, very successful coaches all across the country have people on the sidelines or on the head set talking with them a lot as well. Sonny Dykes and Dan Lemming are 2 but we are not focused on them. If we were winning it wouldn't have been brought on here either. It's like marriage troubles, people focus and fight about auxiliary stuff as an issue and not the actual problems.
As far as TX HS, we don't play in that league and they don't run the pure AR either. They also run a lot of veer and shoot. They are very polished and developed but it's an issue recruiting some of the players because of it. They can be over ranked because they have peaked or close to peak before they get to college. Not all, but you have to make sure that they have more to develop into.
You have so many small rural schools here, many with great athletes but not the numbers. Usually with undersized lineman. It boils down to playing my best athlete at QB and running what he can run and utilize his abilities to be competitive. He may not can throw well but can run like a deer. So you do see a lot of old school veer and wing T stuff run.
TX players? That why Texas has been so damn mediocre for a long time and why we routinely beat A&M? Texas just has larger numbers.
There may be 1 team a year a team plays in HS in Mississippi that gets under center. A bigger problem I see is basketball coaches talking the 6'3/6'4 WR types Texas has into just playing basketball so they dont "get hurt" and lose their NBA dreams.Quote:

Rogers had talent issues, and at times I wonder how much drop 8 would occur with a QB that could just grab 5 yards and slide, and also modify for some run plays.
I think at MSU we really need a good system, that is an equalizer. That was one for years. It seems to me Leach knew the he needed his QBs in the system, and perhaps needed to milk the clock due to his defense .
It would have looked different with a QB who is more aggressive at pushing the ball down the field more. Even Leach wanted Will to do that.Quote:

We had a better slot WR on the team playing out of position by CML. I understand what he was going for but he didn't see it the way you do.Quote:
