2nd practice interviews. Arnett and Coordinators.

Obviously whatever he runs he will run but my only ask as a fan is that he at least adapts to the personnel that we have on the current roster until he gets players that fit what he wants to do.

Yes I know he has said that he will adapt but so have other MSU coaches in the past. So until I actually see it I'm going to be skeptical.

And that is fair and logical. Tons of State fans probably feel the same way, or very close to it.

Dan adapted when he got here. He's the only coach other than JWS that actually did that.

I?m interested to see, too, Todd. One thing that gives me hope is that him being adaptive was part of why Arnett hired him. I feel Arnett will hold him accountable to it.

Whats the injury that Smith has?

[Leroy Jenkins]

Whats the injury that Smith has?

Had surgery. Labrum repair.

[GoDawgz]

Had surgery. Labrum repair.

Ouch, thanks.

A good indicator is how he used playmakers totally diff at Central Michigan & App St.

The run/pass ratio wasn’t a huge difference. App St 30 passes & 40 runs & CMU 35 passes & 40 runs.

At App St he had 4 RB’s who rushed for almost 400yds & he didn’t have 1 person catch 40 passes. At CMU he had 1 RB rush for 1800yds & also had 4 guys catch at least 40 passes. His offense was efficient & explosive at both places even though they done it in diff ways.

Ah, the voice of reason! Thank you!

I have to admit, when we blew up our Air Raid offense, I basically just said WTF as I was one that thought by keeping Arnett we would have tried to keep the AR system in place with Leach's guys. I know next to nothing about what this App State guy brings to the table and are really looking forward to seeing it in action this spring.
Are spring practices open to the public?

[Patrick Tibbons]

so does this turn into another 10 page thread with kb21 beating a dead horse.

I don?t blame KB21 anymore. He is who he is. I blame everyone who replies to him. At this point, you know what his replies are going to be, so there is no need to engage him.

[NCDawg]

Arnett seems to be very concerned about his DB's-particularly his safety players. He said they aren't close to being ready to play yet.

[RockyDog]

Dan adapted when he got here. He's the only coach other than JWS that actually did that.

Yep. What everyone forgets, including KB is that we have actual legit talent on the offensive side of the ball now. We didn?t have that until Dan developed his program.

We are a long long way from Michael Henig, Wes Carroll, and Tyson Lee with no backups at the QB position.

Absolutely!!

[Tripp McNeely]

Yep. Same. Even with having him on the ignore list I see all the replies to him. Kills the board.

This^^^ I guess that the mods don't care that they're probably losing posters

[KB21]

Yeah. I guess the endless Mike Leach criticism and fabrications on here and other boards were fine, but not going along with the group think ideology that is currently in play over Barbay is something that is just terrible.

...or just maybe comment on something/anything else? Did you really get banned from GP, or did another poster just make that up?

Which time?

[yjnkdawg]

A troll on a message board is one who is an attention seeker and posts negative or controversial posts to get that attention they so desperately need. If you don't feed a troll, by arguing or responding to their post, then that member can't stand being ignored so he/she will disappear and go worry another message board (GP to ED). I think the number of posts KB had made here since he joined prior to the Barbay hire and his posts since then tell the whole story. As I have said in the past, concerning this, a revised old Chinese proverb says don't feed the trolls and they will go away.

[NCDawg]

I thought this was supposed to be a thread talking about what Arnett said about the football team-not about KB21.
