Nah, you're only sharing what you heard. That's all I can ask. It's still surprising to me, but it is what it is. Thanks again

I'm not surprised just based on knowing when they got to school. Greek had the spring and Robertson just got here. As far as the future as you said we shall see. Personally I'm not expecting either one to be ready until 2023 at the very earliest and to be honest that's optimistic. I would project one or the other starting in 2024.

The LB do step forward on a run. From what I can tell watching the Memphis game again, they have OL as a cue and when our OL takes a zone block step they immediately fly downhill. That is why the 2-3 times we used play action against nc state there were open spaces 10-12 yards down field and will hit it. When the OL, pass set, the lb drop.

The things that's so perplexing is when Will has been forced to take the shots he's somehow found ways to get the ball downfield, and that's been when we've been behind and defenses are playing prevent for sure. It's hard to comprehend that he takes the check downs or short routes but then all of a sudden we get behind and we're hitting deeper routes. It's dumbfounding to me, maybe someone else has an explanation for it.

Pure speculation, but I think he can't get KJ turning the ball over every third play last year out of his head. I don't care what the gurus on here say (no offense, truly); even if we can't see them, the fact that we suddenly started flying down the field in chunks in two of our first three games once it became the only way to win says guys are open down the field, specifically in the intermediate middle. Will has to find the confidence to hit those guys earlier in the game. KJ couldn't keep the ball because he didn't have a clue how to read a zone. Will should at this point and I think he does; he just has to trust himself.

Oh it's clear he looks for them when he "has" to. Just need him to do it more.

But what watching it on TV does allow me to see is the defense rush 3 play after play- and I can see the underneath players drop on the snap. LB's are taught to take a step forward at the snap as a rule. But against us? They drop on the snap. I dont raise hell on here about Rogers because I know how hard it is for him to throw against 8 play after play. I would never put that on my QB. You are asking the impossible.
This is why anybody on here that bashes our oline or qb automatically loses credibility due to not understanding that they are setup for failure. The most ignorant of all is the captain of the ship..and he likes to bash his players on the regular.
It's amazing to think that the pinnacle of his coaching career was 2008 and he hasn't made any major adjustments to his scheme since. It seems that anybody else that has done this is without a job.

Homedawg - do you have any intel on whether or not assistants agree/disagree with the scheme? Do we have a dictator unwilling to adapt or an entire staff? I would bet my house that arnette is gone after this year - you can tell something isn't right with him.

Not homedawg but I can answer this for you. They all came from WSU and believe in the system. If I here them say one more time we are so young and just need more reps I'm gonna puke. AR didn't need more reps, AU didn't need more reps, OM didn't know more reps. It's this staffs version of we need better execution.
And another thing on the QB, they know they have to win and win big next year and they now realized they had some misses on the QBs in this blast class. They are going to go hard on some transfers. Yet they need more reps?? It's a trainwreck guys
They have blown up this program and I'm not sure how we get it back without cutting bait.

What is it about Mississippi state that makes us different from the last two stops Leach was at outside of being in the SEC? All of the schools Leach has been too have been the underdog schools of the conference. You can sit here and lie to yourself about us not being that but it is just facts historically speaking. It is shown that their is a slight uptick in production of year 2 of switching over to Mike Leach's style of air raid but you really see the difference in year 3. If we can't give a coach a minimum of 3 years after firing a coach in 2 years we will never be good. I'm not saying Mike Leach is going to work here, hell I've always had my doubts about his scheme but we have at least got to allow him one more year before we can fully declare this will never work. At this point it is almost like we are cheering for him to fail

The difference is Leach hasn't adapted at all when even Saban proved you have to constantly evolve an offense and a defense. The best college coach ever had to hire lane kiffin to revamp his offense (his words) even though he had a massive talent gap over most of the teams he faces.

This sounds a lot like Croom speak. If it takes your players 3 years to learn your system in college then we are kind of screwed. We have to see some progress this year. I am not saying putting up 50 points on the regular but we need to actually show some type of offense before the 4th quarter when teams have taken their foot off the gas. Last year, we got a little hope in the UGA and Mizzou games but every other game pretty much sucked. If Arnett wasn't putting a top half of the SEC defense on the field, it would have looked like Croom days. We have enough talent to at least compete in the SEC but that is not happening on offense.

Run game is abysmal because they're basically going against 9 in the box and the safeties are almost that close. As soon as they see handoff they have the entire team right there because they have no fear of a pass going more than 10 yards downfield.

This is the truth. It's why a stronger armed QB & attacking the field vertical would tremendously help our offense

At his other stops he didn't have to play Bama, Auburn, UGA, And LSU. He played the equivalent of Ole miss and KYs. Still lost some of those games and lesser opponents
He also coached in the Big 12 was flag football on the defensive side

Its almost like you are the one who is wrong but you just cant see it. I dont blame you but you just cant see it.
Robertson played in a 7 on 7 league compared to 6A ball in MS?I would bet my paycheck you have watched very little of either live in person in Hs. All Will did was beat Plumlee and Jimmy Holiday head to head, those werent the only ones either.. Threw a game winning TD pass in the 6A playoffs to that Mingo kid. Whatever happened to him? Like 200 yards last week? But he sucks too huh

I think Will is capable but just trying to do what he's been coached and instructed to do... I get frustrated with him not taking off and running some times but then I have to remind myself who will come in and take his place if he goes down. Same thing with being hesitant to hurl the ball downfield... better to get a few yards than to turn the ball over ..... I think we will be able to better judge him next year when hopefully he's "turned loose " for a more aggressive approach
OXFORD, Miss. (WTVA) - Ole Miss campus police ask students to behave at future baseball games following a recent incident.
The university said students were reportedly throwing rocks at Georgia baseball players during last weekend's series.
