What this means is Knox will end up coaching the RBs while Tony is able to recruit.

Downgraded essentially every offensive coaching position.

I can't decide if this is a real thing or a bit.
Either way, I admire your dedication to your craft.

I believe Arnett has put together a very good staff. Very good mix of experience and young energetic types. Glad Coach Knox is back too!

What is RGC? Right guard coach?

I knew he'd be along at some point to tell us how bad it is. He's in every thread now.

"After dealing with Ole Miss for over a year," he said, "I've learned to expect their leadership to do and say things that the leadership at other Division I schools would never consider doing and to justify their actions by reminding themselves that "We're Ole Miss.""

Every coach should base his decisions on message boards and social media, lol!

Leach > Barbay as a play caller
Miller > Friend/Schmidt
Hollingshead, Spurrier > Bumphis
Washington to Hughes is a wash.
We don't have a single position coach on the offensive staff who has a future as anything other than a position coach.

QB Coach Leach ->Barbay DOWNGRADE
RB Coach JWash -> Hughes/Knox PUSH
OL Coach Miller -> Friend/Schmidt PUSH only because it's two people doing the job of one
WR Coach Spurrier/Hollingshead-> Bumphis DOWNGRADE
TE Coach Empty-> Schmidt UPGRADE
DL Coach Phelps-> David Turner PUSH
I don't really see anywhere we upgrade, other than TE coach since we didn't have one, but it was hard to upgrade at some positions such as receiver and QB coach. You can't replace Leach as a QB Coach or two receiver coaches with one and upgrade. Maybe I'll be wrong, but I doubt it. This staff better be the greatest talent developers on Earth because our recruiting is downgraded with the new staff. The two biggest losses were Mason Miller and Drew Hollingshead from a coaching and recruiting perspective. The biggest addition is probably Will Friend since he has at least has somewhat of a recruiting footprint. You could argue David Turner since he recruits in state really well, but he doesn't recruit out of state at all so that kind of invalidates him from being a big addition. Very surprised but glad that Jason Washington agreed to stay on. He's our portal wizard due to his connections.
I'll close with this, it was going to be impossible to keep Hollingshead or Spurrier without giving them the OC title. The one gripe I have is Mason Miller. But Arnett has made it very obvious he wants to go away from the Air Raid and it's his ass that will be fired if it fails so Mason was not going to be kept under this regime. We'll see if this works, I have my doubts that it will. I think you have to be able to attract big time players for this system to flourish and we don't have enough recruiters on staff to be able to do that. A roster full of Mississippi kids is not winning big.

From 2 WR coaches to 2 OL coaches tells you things are changing.
That said, we can maintain the 7-5/8-4 Mullen/Leach standard.
