Todd isn't alone. I'm adamantly against this hire too. Just not as vocal. Can it work? Maybe. I'm at least hopeful, but giddy and excited this dipshit is back? **** no!
My only fear is Arnett has been out of the trenches for a couple of years. What will his intensity be like...
Just keep him out of the local Wendys
"Zach is one of the brightest defensive coaches in all of college football," Leach said in a statement. "Having been mentored by Rocky Long during his successful time at San Diego State, Zach understands what it takes to build and run an elite defense."
I'll also say that I think this is an extremely questionable hire. I just don't think that it's ever a good idea to rehire a guy who was previously fired to come back and work for the guy who replaced him, at least not just 2 years later, and definitely not when the guy has had some ... mental health struggles? in the interim period.
However, I've already given up on Lebby as a head coach for us, so it's just confirming my prior opinion that he's in over his head.
hearing we working to get Jett Johnson and McPhee back on staff also
This is where I am. I'm actually coming around to it, but that's probably just acceptance. My mistake was getting caught up in the exciting names that were on our "list". I'm glad we way overpaid for BOC, or we'd probably be looking at the head coach from Eastern Illinois.
You have to separate Arnett the DC from Arnett the HC.
Arnett the HC was a god awful HC and in so far over his head it was not funny.
Arnett the DC was very good and did a whole lot with a lot of nothing.
He didn't have "a lot of nothing". He had Martin Emerson, Emmanuel Forbes, and Decamerion Richardson at CB. He had Erroll Thompson, Jett Johnson, and Bookie Watson at LB. He had Jaden Crumedy, Cameron Young, Marquis Spencer, Tyrus Wheat, Randy Charlton up front. Of those, Randy Charlton was the only one that got recruited by that staff. Everyone else was inherited.
