We won 2 or 3 more games in the offseason when we kept him. He is going to be one of the best. He is still learning and that is scary.
He is also a cool dude to sit and talk to. Moorhead got a lot of credit for that so should he
I want him as our head coach when Leach retires one dayQuote:

Got to talk to Coach Arnett for about 5 mins. Very down to earth guy. I hope he sticks around for a while.
It'll all come down to money. We have to get him to sign early and give him more than others would offer. Sick and tired of coaches leaving for Alabama and others. I understand it but we have to act instead of react to keep these guys and do our best to stop those other teams from thinking about poaching.Quote:

Disagree. It will be because he has a chance to move to a higher profile location that more easily attracts better talent that lets him continue to move up the ladder. Like Mullen.Quote:

I agree but we have to make those teams think twice because for example the buy out is high, which will discourage teams that would be a lateral move or close to it, to make an offer.Quote:

Basically we have to be active and creative and pay these coaches, which we have been doing a better job of lately.
here's the after practice interview

I would like to see who else is available before I go that far. But he is a star no doubtQuote:

Y'all talk like we've never lost an assistant to a team in our same tier.Quote:

I'm sure other schools will still do it but we have to make it hard for our staff to say yes to another place. Having a rotating door on staff hurts not only coaching the players and building relationships but recruiting.
And everything I'm hearing about our S&C they better be giving Brown a big reason to stay before other places come calling because we've all seen what happens when we lack in this area.
This exactly. Hard to prepare for in one week.Quote:

Absolutely!!! I think that's what hurt Moorehead the most. His team was soft.Quote:

Really? I travel a lot for work and always think the opposite. Could be because my last 10 trips have been to San Fran area.....Quote:

Since I?m not in the room I trust that our staff is doing their best to pay our coaches competitively. As others stated sometimes it?s not about the money. People want to advance in their career as well.
Behind in what? And who are we behind? And please be specific. Give examples.Quote:
