At this point, I do not think he is doing his dd. I think he is in over his head. I don't think he was ready for this position. I hope he proves me wrong and I eat crow.Quote:

If that is our OC... I'm at a loss
btw, he's a great TE coach! One of the best.
Guys....I'm beginning to think Arnett is in WAY OVER HIS HEAD.
I hope you’re wrong to, but he did get a bowl win, held the class together and added, and has made pretty good hires from I can tell so far. He likes one major hire( almost had KB) and hasn’t rushed it. I’m just worried not too many experienced OCs are interested in us!!! Arnett can’t make them like us. Hope he finds the best out there that will come. But so far, he doesn’t seems over his head to me.Quote:

Hard to knock him for Briles staying put. Can’t punish a guy for not making a lateral move in conference.
ZA is winning right now. Excited about the future. He hasn’t hired an OC on your time frame? **** you and your time frame. All will be judged with what happens this Fall
Same here. Hopefully he ends up being a genius.Quote:

It?s ridiculous to think otherwise.
Willie Fritz is a defensive guy. He's always let an offense coordinator handle the offense.Quote:

He literally picked out 2 of the 3 worst performances in wins for Will?s career. The 3rd being the bowl game.Quote:

Unfortunately we didn't have an AD in place to stop this from happening and start a proper coaching search which probably could have gotten us Western Kentucky's staff. Which is what we absolutely should have done if we were going to blow everything up anyway.
Instead we as fans get to enjoy a complete rebuild on offense again- who knows if it will even halfway fit our personnel but knowing MSU it won't but hey! That's no problem because we can always just blame Will.
Instead we have gotten a lot of misleading statements at best from MSU about continuity and how we aren't going far away from the Air Raid while everything else is being blown up in the meantime. All the while the guys we ran off of our staff have basically almost immediately been hired as coordinators while we're still searching and hoping this guy from Tulane isn't a shitshow and has about the same amount of experience as the guys we ran off. But hey! We got Bumphis!** And don't think that the coaching community hasn't noticed how we've treated Leach's staff who just won 9 games. That's likely part of the reason why we've had trouble hiring an OC- on top of everyone's friend having a position making it more difficult for real OC's to bring in their staff.
All in all I see this working out about like Arkansas with Sam Pittman. We'll probably have a good season next year just because of our culture put in place from Leach and the experience of the players plus our schedule. Once those players leave we'll go into decline and then hopefully this nightmare will end for us around 2025 and we can actually do a real coaching search and hire someone who knows what the hell they're doing instead of going off of booster recommendations for hires.
But by all means relying heavily on a running back who couldn't even make it out of fall practice healthy should work out well for us next year.**
GTFO. That has to average in pass attempts or something along those lines. I have seen that stat from you before and if you really believe that I cant help you. I guess the entire coaching staff just was wrong day in and day outQuote:

Half the time they got their ass whipped and the other half they ran a bad route bc they knew they were getting it handed tk them. Ill level with you. Leach had made it well known.Quote:

Todd .. don't be so doom/gloom. If everything you say might happen then happens, look at the bright side dude ... no one's eyes will be hurting watching Leach's Air Raid anymore.Quote:

If you are changing systems, after spring is too late. You want get them broken into that system until summer.Quote:

EVEN THO, We haven’t even made a hire yet and no one has a clue who he is gonna hire or what the main offense will even look like. Yet because dude is being in coaches who he wants to, and making his staff HIS, y’all want to fire the man and are already thinking about who the next coach will be…
Some of y’all deserve to be miserable…
