No, it's not that crazy. Arnett will probably do anything Peterson tells him to do.Quote:

I'm not calling for Will to be benched or run out of Starkville. I just want to see what Wright can do when he's given more than one play in a quarter.
Been to all home games and of course watched SC. I am sad to say that after viewing hundreds of games since my first at age 8 in Memphis in 1963 ( I am now a no hair on top, not a blue hair), that I again fear that no one is again truly in charge on a SEC level. Honestly thought I would ever see this type story again. Thought we were past this and would always win about 7 games a year at worse.Quote:

Any blitz that he sees before or during the play it's over.
But a few on this board will tell you otherwise and that everything is under control. We are shite from top to bottom. From head coach to water boy. Our administration made some very bad business decisions and it is clear to see. Just how a few on here advised the board our baseball team was going to suck this past season after watching the first couple of weekends, but were told we didn?t know any better. A state fan can see where a shit train is taking them because of how many times we?ve been down that trackQuote:

Wright will not change the issues of the scheme and ol.
Usce was able to take him down behind the LOS. Etc etc
What does that have to do with the touchdown he scored despite only playing 3 or 4 downs?Quote:

Well versed, connected friend of mine, told me last year that when Leach left , it would take three years to rebuild our program from his unique AR system. Even with his tragic passing, I didn't expect this to be year one of a total rebuild.Quote:

Like many felt, we should?ve kept a staff for continuity, for many reasons. Head coach gets paid more than most, so 17 it, let him figure it out. He?s done though. He?s burned it down and will not be retained after next year at the latest. We should cut him this year and move on. Like him, great guy but is not ready.
If ZA forces a change next few games and finishes out ok (6-6) everyone is ok. Pretty tough to do other than personnel. No way to change a scheme mid year.
Is Brad Peterson ZA?s John Clark?
What is his role?
What did he say?Quote:

Please explain to me -- how can it be that "the boosters are in control?"
Isn't their money already spent? If he makes a decision they don't like, can they take away his car, house, or signed contract? They could decide to take the money so Arnett couldn't renew next year, maybe? But then again, if he went his own way and won while doing so, public opinion would make it very difficult to fire him.
When people say "there must be boosters in control" in some way that prevents the coach from making decisions, what exactly can they do to him NOW, as opposed to next year?
By the way, I'm asking in genuine, honest ignorance. I have no idea how the money works.
Kind of hard to compare. They were pretty bad in 2020 but only played 4 games and went 1-3. Their scoring went from second in the PAC-12 in 2019 to 10th, 7th and 8th the last 3 years and down 10-12 points per game.Quote:
