Makes you wonder sometimes if they aren’t taking money from Ole Miss or some sec big money people just to keep us at the bottom of the shitter

That actually happened at Texas tech when tech knocked off #1 Texas, the big money boys started looking for ways to sabotage the little upstart.

Ok so I guess Will Friend will be hired today if these rumors are true.

He's basically Mike's Air Raid with more RPO and more emphasis on running the ball but not to the point where you are a run first or run to set up the pass team. The guy has been a head coach for 22 years and is still just 49 years old.

I agree on Chris Hatcher first. He would have accepted the job and we wouldn't be going through all of this crap.............. Some of these spectacular hires are going to really help our NIl aren't they.*** Briles was a pipe dream. The only way he would leave ARK was if he wanted to get away from Pittman.

Oh it's nothing like that. They're just not very good at their job. Steve Robertson was literally known as Rosebowl because he was wrong so many times. He gets one lucky break and everyone acts like he's the next Woj. Brian Hadad is a pizza boy, legitimately. Robbie Faulk does I think try to be a legitimate media member, but when you get brought down by everyone around you you'll never be good. There's a reason anyone who's ever been on the MSU beat tries to get the hell out as soon as possible if they're worth a damn as a journalist.

I wish Paul would set up his own MSU site. I liked 247 a lot better before the merger.

Well you say that, but honestly these moves look like program suicide. They are so obviously wrong and self destructive it’s hard to believe they are an accident or incompetence.

It appears as if crazy people are running things.

Friend is reportedly being hired by Memphis, so we will see.

Not going to lie, I?ve come to despise Steve. I really wish people would stop listening to him.

It was both but Sexton did us zero favors in the process and pulled the rug at the last second. He is no friend of MSU.

So there's that too

---

If we do that then I will be done. I can get boosters wanting an AD that will do what they say, but there are a lot of qualified athletic directors that will also be yes men when requested.

It's incompetence. They are looking out for themselves and the people who will help them further their careers with scoops and inside info. Which is fine, that's what media members do. But don't feed us this crap that you're fans and you care about State and then actively look to get coaches removed the staff so your friends can be on staff. So either be a fan or be a member of the media, but you can't be both.

Arnette has a 4 year 3 million per year contract I heard. He's set then no matter how all this turns out.

I agree Paul is the best one over there by far. He is able to toe the line between being a journalist and supporting Mississippi State. I respect that. He tells it like it is and doesn't play favorites. He'll tell you when he doesn't like something. I kind of wish he would've made a move to On3 and headed up there State stuff.

I just cannot believe that is possible. You really think Arnett is looking at Bobo and thinking "yea, he wasn't that great at UGA, but look at the talent constraints he was operating under. He'll be a lot better with the massive talent we have stockpiled."

Granted I think an OC that is an ex head coach is a good idea, but he also has to offer a lot as an OC.

If Mason Miller doesn't just leave because he wants too, then anybody who participated in relieving him of his duties needs a mental exam and doesn't care about Mississippi State football like they say they do. I posted yesterday that Hollingshead would be an OC. I just didn't think it would be this soon.

Drew is the next great young Air Raid coach. He's a future head coach who has been soaking up everything from Mike for the past 6 years or so.

I totally agree and at one point in time I thought he was going to make that move.

I wasn't talking about Mason. I was referencing Hollingshead and Phelps.

Offer will Hall 1.7 million to be Offensive Coordinator

Southern miss can not pay that and he?s a good recruiter , he knows Mississippi , Louisiana , and Alabama very very well

Bring Frank Gore Jr with him

It will help him fast track into being a Higher up G5 head coach

He will be stuck at usm because an 7-8 win season is all they can hope for
