Thought you wanted norvell.
I too would rather have another guy, but hopefully Cohen hits another HR like cann
Pruitt seems like he is a better hire than Dan was as an OC. Pruitt might not have the QB development level but he has been extremely successful everywhere he has been. He is also supposedly a great recruiter which Dan lacked. I think it helps if your head coach is a great recruiter because it sets the tone for the entire staff. We always struggled with Dan because of that reason. The Country Club were lazy recruiters and it affected the rest of the staff.
Why would Neal Brown be the right coach? I'm not against it. I just don't understand how winning at Troy translates to winning at Mississippi State. Genuinely curious
This is dumb.
.
Recruiting at MSU will tell the tale.
My sources say we taking the interim off our current guy**Quote:

Maybe you wouldn't know him. I do. He did a good job as OC at UK. His first year at Troy they were 4-8. Then 10-3 and now they are 9-2. That's a guy that knows what he's doing.Quote:

Good point.Quote:

Now tell regular folks we got the head coach of Troy. They'd look at you like where's that? and who's that?
Tell them he's the guy that beat LSU in Tiger stadium at night.Quote:

Isn't that true for any defensive-minded head coach? Well, not named Saban anyway.Quote:
