And I'm glad Greg is back/ Plus he has inroads in South Louisiana and now the Florida recruiting scenes.Quote:

Btw, like I thought about firing Arnett now seems to be working, no more drama about "we need to fire him, and we are the worse coached team in D1". Fans now seem to be more united with who are next coach will be and excited. No doubt dragging Arnett along would have gotten much worse. I hope we win out, ain't likely but at least it's more fun today.
Man I agree. If we get any of the guys being mentioned this go round, I'll be ok. It appears most think we will pony up for a real head coach this time, not go the cheap route and hope we hit the lottoQuote:

Lane started at $3.9 MIL, Huepal started at $4 MIl, etc. but we won't be just looking to go cheap.Quote:

Unless they have made amends, Hev and Dan are not nearly as tight as before. I will say as far as OL coaches go, Hev is pretty damn good.Quote:

The rumors around Leach stepping down were real. Dan knew about it and wanted the job. He has been making moves to let it be known that he wants our job. All the posting this year about his time at State, coming to Old Waverly the last two summers, being in Starkville this summer, being excited about getting to the call the Egg Bowl although that got taken away?.all of that is not a coincidence and it was never was. Dan is not my first choice, but he is not far from the top.
Maybe there is a reason Dan got taken off the egg bowl...
Probably just Mississippi crying about it though.
No that was solely because OM people got butthurt about it. Their hatred for him is another reason I want to hire him. Also, it is hilarious to watch them be up in arms over us firing Arnett because they are now scared we might get another Mullen, or the man himself, that will shove their nose in it 365.Quote:

I mean, in a conspiracy sort of way we can make it make sense. He couldn't take the job after Leach died b/c of ESPN contract and commitments but..c'mon...really?!
Agree. He would piss them off, which I would enjoy.Quote:

Leach was not stepping down. Im not gonna debate the rest of that could very well be true
