Yall can call me an idiot all you want, but I would absolutely make an offer to Zach Arnette to come back as DC. He is hands down better than anyone mentioned here.

That man is also part of the reason of the lack of talent and miss evaluations so super hard passQuote:

Would you say that's as bad as Lebby year one bad?Quote:

That’s a big 17 no from me. You don’t get rid of a bad apple, let it throw in with your rival, and then ask it to come back.Quote:

Just 17 no.Quote:

Contract should be null and void given poor performance.Quote:

This is a depth piece probably. But I will never turn down 6-3 323Quote:

He sat out 2024 at Miami. It?s something about missing out of the portal windowQuote:

And yet with all of that Arnett would still be a significant step up from Hutzler as a DC. Really the position coaches are normally the ones responsible for recruiting moreso than the coordinator. As I've said before, we just have way too many football coaches plus our past 2 ADs that just seem to getting on the job training at MSU since they have never done their specific job before at any college level.Quote:
