    I think Lemon should go, but I don’t think we have the sack to fire him. Now, whatever Arnett did to not even make it through a year I’ll never know.he was awful, but almost everyone gets a year. I almost think it had to be personal.

    If we don't take a series from anyone but Missouri, then he really does need to go. We are not winning so far against any of the top 10 in the league.

    The way I heard it - and others with better info chime in - the F bomb on live TV was a big part of it and Selmon was not impressed at all with him in their talks during the season.

    Interesting, and says alot that Selmon can pick up on it but our University president thought he had the chops to make that hire himself.

    I really hope the F-bomb had nothing to do with it. None of us would have cared if he was dropping F-bombs while "winning" games.

    Supposedly Selmon wanted to hear Arnett's pitch for turning the team around mid-season and came out thinking he just had a conversation with the world's most clueless man. He went to Keenum and told him we need to get rid of him. Keenum said you're the AD, do what you have to do.

    It's a bad look. I mean, if we had beaten Bama... sure. He's no William F. Buckley but c'mon, it was uncalled for and showed a lack of self control.

    They way I heard it ...Keenum threw a fit about the F bomb and that just took the fire out of him...then when Will and Tulu did their own thing at SC ....Barbay forbid any deviation from the called play...no checks of any kind ...that combination gave us the worst performance in MSU history at the LSU game.......after that...the season was lost...

    Waaaaay different situation. Arnett was pretty much an interim. Did you not watch any football games this year? It was obvious he was in way over his head. There was NO way you could justify keeping him as HC. He had to go before he cratered the program to the point of no retuen.

    I attended every football game. It was clear the team was in a bad place to everyone there. 2 seasons is just pretty standard. Firing him was the right call. It was just against the norm. Can’t argue with that. Especially for a school in a major conference in modern day sports with massive multi year contacts. I think if he hadn’t come off as a complete DA he probably could’ve spun something along the lines of “Hey, coach died and I didn’t expect to be here. This is my plan to get back to having a pulse.”
