I think it is better for recruting as well. You enter the recruiting cycle now. The new coach would have a full calendar year to form relationships with 20/21 recruits. It sure beats having to piece together a class at the last minute. As for this year's class, he has 20 or signatures. Instead of a broad evaluation, he has 20 commitments to reaffirm.

Only negative thing is finding a staff this late. A lot of new coaches have already picked apart the staff. We'd be okay if we hurry up and do it before other schools have their assistants sign extensions.

The coaches convention in Jan 12th so there's still some time to put together a staff. And there may be a couple of coaches worth keeping from current staff. S&C coach, OC/DC, OL coach are the main ones that would need to get settled.

Well, even if we keep Joe, we have all this talk about significant staff shakeup and we haven't even started yet. The only major effect with us is I would think there would be continuity with Shoop and most of the defensive side of our staff (minus LB coach) with Moorhead staying.

And this was in the last 48 hours?

i told u guys this yesterday, but i have direct contact with Trace Armstrong (joe brady's agent). MSU officials have reached out to him twice to gauge interest of his client. they could be using us as a pay raise, but they were told our head coach position will be open..... soon.

yep

If what I heard about a certain family member is true, things may have had a change of heart, family matters. So...

Well if I'm reading this right and JM's wife had an issue at the bowl game, like I heard. This could mean she came home and said get me out of here and made JM have a change of heart about staying.

Joe's daughter is having a VERY rough time at State right now. According to my source, Joe says she's being "harassed" constantly due to his job performance. I don't know how much she's actually getting "harassed", but I bet she's had to endure at least some heckling.

Anyways, apparently Joe's ridiculous Egg bowl postgame behavior was fueled by his anger over his daughter's perceived treatment.

This may not be related to what OP is hinting at, but wanted to share what I had.

I would be so fcking pumped up if we hired Joe Brady. I don't give a shit that he would have a learning curve. And I don't give a shit that he would leave after 5 years if successful.

I hate that. Know it’s unavoidable but sucks to hear that’s happening, no reason to drag his family into it

I can tell you from first hand experience that his wife is a textbook numbskull.

There will be a lot of coaches looking for jobs at the up coming coaches clinic. Not just unemployed coaches, but some unhappy in their current position like how we got Todd Grantham and there will coaches looking to move up the ladder.

That was clueless on his part. Don't talk down to the fanbase much less insult them. He's so egotistical and arrogant it makes me sick.

I’m not going to buy this at the moment. However, if this were true, it would be dang near malpractice to hire Joe Brady to run a SEC program. The guy has one year of experience as a passing game coordinator in college football.

That's a damn disgrace if true. Anyone who harasses his family should be permanently banned from attending any MSU sporting events.

Kids should be totally off limits.
Still, making multi-millions and living in a bubble in a small town has its downside and crap happens.

The kid was working at The Veranda and was overhearing things being said in the bar and at tables after games.

I doubt it's going to happen so it's pointless to argue about. I understand why you and many others would feel that way, but I just vehemently disagree. This guy is a rising a star and we will have one chance to hire him and that time is now.

Hate to hear that anyone is harrassing Moorhead's family. However, if she is actually a student at MSU with thousands of other students or even just in Starkville , then there are always a few dumbasses that are going to be jerks. Of course, if his daughter is anything like Joe, she's probably VERY sensitive.

She wanted popcorn and Joe sent Guidry who dropped the bag on the way back so Willie slapped the shot out of him...

Why does jughead?s family get brought up every time the flames start licking up around his lazy ass ? A con man with a mile long list of go to excuses. I think he wants to get fired so he can walk away with a nice buy out.

Not sure RD, just read on another board there was an incident, take it for what it's worth, I was just hypothesizing on what Basedawg posted about family matter and a change of heart.

I hope both get to come home whichever one of those 2 we decide to go with in this hypothetical firing/hiring process.

We would have to release them from their LOI's if they wanted to sign elsewhere.

Signees already enrolled cannot.

Signees not enrolled can ask for a release- up to us to grant it or not. But remember- most schools have limited schollys left. We would lose 2-3 at the very most, if any.

Can't afford go that route at this point. Have to have a guy that's been there and done that.
