I'm sure Darcel McBath is coming. If Leach bring in his DL coach Jeff Phelps I'm not sure about that. That leaves one spot open and if it were me I'd hire Jeff Koonz for it.

Newberry took a couple guys with him from Kennesaw St to Navy, I know his DL and LB coaches for sure. Wouldn't shock me if he brought them along again, especially since I would imagine Leach will give him more autonomy on that side.

DC - Newberry

He mentioned that was something that was important to him in an interview I saw from the preseason. Having coaches that he was familiar with and having a working relationship with. With Norwood going to UCLA I suspect that we'll get our DL and LB coach from the Naval Academy as well.

It won't be their DL coach. Phelps is coming to MSU also.

I thought that was just a rumor? We'll almost certainly hire Navy's LB coach then.

No Phelps is already here.

Not a fan of Phelps being brought from WSU. I'm on board with everything else.

I definitely have questions about him as a recruiter no doubt. As a coach he's actually very solid. I do understand the stench of the WSU defense from last year being on him.

I think Leach?s effort or lack thereof in recruiting is going to make or break him. He better find some guys that are going to recruit defensive talent

Assuming he is connecting with Key or trying to already, right? That is his first recruit

Since when did Mike Leach give little effort in recruiting? I’m not sure where this falsehood started.

I think people have conflated the facts that he prioritizes coaching acumen in staff hiring decisions and targets specific player characteristics regardless of recruiting rankings with the idea he undervalues or short changes recruiting.

I think some of it is based off his reputation of spending a lot of time in Key West. Let?s not sugarcoat it, he does.
If he wins, no one will care. If he loses, it will be a problem for most people here (myself included) who believe that to win at MSU you need to be recruiting to Starkville, from Starkville, 365 days a year.
