Nope. That's a floor with a low ceiling. We need a coach that is young. Preferably in his 30s. We need a coach that is offensive minded. We need a coach that is innovative in what he does. We need a coach that understands and embraces analytics. We will not get that with any retread. Heck, we won't get that with most G5 head coaches that would take the job. The one G5 head coach I would go for is Kinne.Quote:

Gus is interesting. He has won big at Auburn and would definitely embrace the portal. There is also the fact that his offense would be perfect for Mike Wright or Parson. We also know he is not afraid of Saban. He also would bring an offense that is a hell of a lot more exciting than what we currently have.Quote:

Don't fret... he isn't beating Arkansas...Quote:

If the decision is made to replace Arnett, you got out and get a P5 coach like we did with Leach.
This isn't MSU of old. We don't hire coordinators like we used to. You go for the guy who does more with less talent than is peers.
Who is realistic in scenario? That is an extremely extremely small pool of realistic candidatesQuote:

I'd take Jonathan Smith in a heartbeat. What he's done at Oregon State is pretty impressive.Quote:

Gag! Barf!Quote:

But would MSU be an upgrade from Wake for Clawson. My 8 ball says highly doubtful at this time.Quote:
