The years of State recruiting at a level on par with CUSA schools are over. We aren’t going to run an offense from 1987. We aren’t going to field an offense where 80 % of them had offers from us and directional Louisiana.

But he is hiring them for a purpose that others have attempted. He wants to own the state in recruiting.
Who here actually thinks that if Bama wants a kid from Mississippi they won't get him? When has that really been the norm? I like hiring guys who get the job done in training up the players. That's not to say theses hires won't be able to.
He has no answer and has no clue what a qb in the portal costs.
It's impossible to guess who might be interested without an OC in place. If it's an air raid guy, no one would want to take on will. If it's an OC that is moving to a dual threat, who knows?

Tell me where Texas ranks per Capita? And look at poor ol missippi....#2
And Katy high school has 3300 students to pick from. Please tell me how many schools are that size in the state of Mississippi. You aren't comparing apples to apples. I live here so I'm not speaking out of my rear...
No Home D. There is a difference in moving to a system where we run it 40% of the time and that reduces it. Then there is moving it to a run 55% of the time. That reduces it more. Then there is a change in offenses where an OC does not rotate.
There are many air raid systems that uses a TE and different wrinkles and run it more that still uses more WRs than say a mullen offense.
TCU is a run first air raid. They still had 10 receivers in double digits. we had 11. (I included RBs in both)
Thanks…..pretty simple. We need to know what our offense is going to be like first. If it’s going to require a dual threat quarterback to work then obviously there aren’t many choices in the portal that would not be better than what we currently have on the roster. If it’s not then that is different. This guy wants an answer on who our quarterback should be without us even knowing what offense we are running. I think that we could probably eke out enough portal money to steal Malik Hornsby from Texas State if we go to a system that is going to require us to have a true mobile quarterback. I don’t know though. I will have to check with moneybags homedog first to check our exact bankroll.
Ok guys we only need to recruit MS. That Dak Prescott dude sucked. He was from Louisiana. And Chris Parson sucks too cause he's from TN and original from Texas. But that Jake Weir is a grinder cause he's from Tupelo. And we need to drop Seth Davis cause he's from Texas and go sign the running back from Jackson Prep cause he's "tough"
Malik Hornsby....good lord man. You really don't know football. Wow, I was at least expecting like Sam Huard or Hank Bachmeir. Or maybe that you'd throw in a solid backup like Jake Garcia at Miami. But Malik Hornsby??? Weren't you the one who just said we don't have to recruit like a CUSA but you want to go recruit a guy who transferred to the Sun Belt?? Come on man
That's always going to be Willie's offense, but he'll definitely require more QB runs in his offense. But it can't be Nick Fitzgerald or Malik Hornsby back there at QB either. Our best bet is trying to convince a guy like a Jake Garcia or a Bubba Chandler at Clemson that they can come in and compete for the job and maybe win it. Or maybe a guy like Miller Moss at USC who's kind of been buried on the depth chart and they've kind of shifted offensive philosophies.
I want you to tell me which games he played well in during sec play, specifically. I think he played well against Arkansas (the worst defense in the conference) and Texas A&M. I think he was awful against every other conference team and the bowl game. That?s 7 awful games in my mind. That?s over half the season. Now, show me where I?m wrong. Not with a cumulative stat. Show me with a game by game stat where I?m wrong.
Guys, we are in uncharted waters with the death of a coach and no AD. Arnett is doing his due diligence I hope because this OC hire is important. If we hired a OC right after KB turned us down just to hurry up and get one hired, it would be a mistake. CZA has had a pile of shit thrown on his plate and hasn’t even had a chance to catch his breath since being named HC. And to rush the OC hire just to try to get transfers is a mistake imo. Would have been great to nail the KB hire and move right into the transfer market, but they didn’t happen. Just get the hire right!! It seems he’s made some respectable hires already, so I’ll just wait and see how it turns out.
And this talk about not caring if Will leaves is terrible. Our QB room is thin as cat shit right now. We don’t need to lose anyone. I’m not a huge Will fan but tweaking the offense to include a running game could only help Will imo. At least the DL can’t just pin their ears back every play trying to sack the QB. They will at least have to respect the run more. Hopefully running more helps our passing game and Will too. All our wins came when our running attempts were higher.
I said it depends on which offense we run. If we run an offense that requires a quarterback to run the football Malik Hornsby would beat the breaks off of Will Rogers every single time. He isn’t the only option. The kid from ULM that transferred to north Texas would be a great option. The kid from Oregon State that is visiting Indiana this week would be an option. The offense we run will determine what we need at quarterback.
Well it's being reported that he interviewed with Arnett, Friend, and Peterson and that he is more than in the running.
To me, that's some messed up crap.
A guy who called plays 1 year?
You bring in 2 offensive guys that would work for him to help interview him?
Mess up IMO
Maybe as a co-OC?
