Not sure who to give the credit to, but someone in here posted a week ago that the new dc would probably be someone not discussed on this board. Good call whomever you were.

HA - I'm with you sac .... I saw nothing that knocked me over ... only unanswered questions at this point about experience and ability ... then again, I'm not the one who interviewed him and I'm certainly not qualified to conduct such interview ... it does appear by now that we are going to have to chance it and grow our own so to speak ..... but then again, I felt that way about Diaz before his first turn here

Diaz was already a defensive coordinator though at MTSU when we hired him. Definitely a risk giving a guy this young his first shot as a DC but hopefully it works out. At least he's apparently had a big part in recruiting and a lot of folks here were willing to give Orgeron the DC job essentially based off his recruiting skills.
-
What's his recruiting look like? Anyone have a profile of the players he's pulled?
-
http://247sports.com/Coach/Peter-Sirmon-1276
It looks like though USC 247 does it differently than most. All of his targets are LBs. And if you look at all of their commits, they just have their one position coach listed (or Tee Martin).

If it's not something negative on us, then it's not breaking news to the hotty toddy boys at FootballScoop.

This is my first time posting on the board. I've been reading since its inception but between work and kids don't really have the time to post. I've been a Bulldog for 51 years. Something I'm seeing that hasnt been mentioned yet. With these last 2 hires of Buckley and now Sirmon, it would appear that Dan is setting us up to recruit on a more national level. Buckley and Sirmon both have ties all over the country and I'm excited about what they bring to the table. Bit of a gamble with no DC experience but looks like it may be worth it! Enjoy reading the board and it's the only place to get reliable info on State!
HailState

Well CoachingSearch finally caught up:
Mississippi State: USC linebackers coach Peter Sirmon has accepted the defensive coordinator job at Mississippi State, according to the LA Times and multiple reports. Sirmon has been at USC since 2014 and coached at Tennessee from 2010-11. Keep track of open FBS assistant jobs here.
So did football scoop, but they just said "sources" #mysterious

Coachingsearch isn't run by the OM guy anymore -- it's run by Chris Vannini. And that Roussel brother was significantly more pro-MSU than the other one for whatever reason.

I thought the primary reason Orgeron wasn't the choice was because he had never been a DC, and it was mentioned several times on here that we didn't play good in the Orange Bowl due to the lack of a knowledgeable DC. In any event, if this guy is the choice, he will hopefully turn out to be a good selection, especially if he is a good recruiter.

Won't matter that he doesn't have prior DC experience, according to many experts on this board Mullen runs the defense anyway.

I know I still have reservations because of no DC experience. However, do know he is considered a very sharp up and coming coach that has moved up quickly. Orgeron in all of his years has never had the opportunity to be more than a position coach/recruiter by numerous coaches he was working for at the time when the DC came open. Passed over a lot. But I agree it's a risk with Sirmon
-
Look at this gem he hauled in!! NICE

Footballscoop and Miami reported hiring away our secondary coach because they hired a GA that served the interim role during our bowl. By that criteria, we just hired USCs previous DC.

So was he the interim DC the entire time after Sarkesian was let go? (minus the bowl game)

I have no idea. Just going by that article I quoted in my first post saying he was interim in Dec.

Just DC in the bowl game I think.
But still has called a game before

I hate scoop but I don't know how you got that:
Mark Richt has announced that Mississippi State defensive assistant Ephraim Banda will join the staff coaching the safeties. Banda served as a grad assistant at the University of Texas and at Mississippi State with Diaz. Richt also formally announced the hire of Stacy Searels and Mike Rumph.
And I haven't seen no body say he was the USC DC
-
This is what scoop said on our hire
Mississippi State: USC linebackers coach Peter Sirmon will be the new defensive coordinator at Mississippi State sources tell FootballScoop.
-
I think the difference with ogre here is there is a reason for him not elevating above position coach after all the years he's been coaching. This new guy seems to already be getting serious DC looks before we pulled the trigger in his young career. Couple that with crootin and NFL playing, looks like a good hire. I'll be interested to know how much coin we had to drop on him.
-
Very nice hire that might help us get some West Coast talent. We don't really have anyone else on the staff with that kind of background.
I'll be interested to see if we run a 4-3 or a 3-4.
