Like Arnett or not he is a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge upgrade from Duntzler who was historically bad. He might be the worst hire in MSU history and that's saying something. I don't know if some of you understand how bad he really was.

In other words he got gradually worse.
I'll take 8th in points allowed and top 5 in yards allowed. Sign me up.
Especially with a competent offense, which we didn't have in 2020 or 2023

We should be butthurt. This is an insanely stupid move by Lebby.
Yeah it will be Ok. After we fire Arnett and then bring back Dan and then he leaves us after that doesn't work. So, five- seven years it should be great.

Give me points since that's what they use to determine who wins and loses the game.

Exactly. This year that would've got us to 9-3 and a Florida bowl. I guess some of our fans like 16th last in yards and 16th in points allowed(15th this year thanks Arky)

If this works out will you be happy or would you still hate the guy?
Feels like you really dislike him. I understand your points but I think its going to work out. Arnett probably has an extra chip on his shoulder too.

We have to get players though. Whether it's arnett or Armstrong or Wilcox or Saban, we have to get players. That will tell the tale.

I do not have any respect for Arnett. If he apologizes publicly for what he did I might give him a chance but he's not man enough to do that.
And when I say apologize I mean he needs to apologize for what he did to Leach's staff and admit that hiring Barbay was wrong. He needs to apologize for lying to our players and their families. He needs to apologize for his foul language embarrassing MSU on TV during an interview.

He oversaw it and that's what he specialized in. He also recruited most of those players.

This ain't intramurals brother. If your criteria for a DC includes being a good guy and not cussing, you need to sit this one out. I'll let Sam Purcell coach your defense, but I'd prefer a psycho as my DC in the SEC

Is not completely destroying the program because you are an idiot fall into your criteria? Or are you cool with our intramural team being 5-7?

It just feels like we got left with the last kid on the playground that no one else picked.

Worst hire will ALWAYS be Peter Sirmon....as far as DC goes. Everyone keeps confusing his Head coaching career against his coordinator career. I'm glad to see the guy back because we had an above serviceable level from him as DC and we haven't been there since he was no longer the DC ... I know it's kinda like the Manny Diaz situation coming back but Manny never wanted to be here. Objective reasoning says we can expect improvement... especially since recruitment isn't the Trump card that it used to be
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.

Sooooooooo.....
We just hired a proven SEC DC. Who owns acres of land around Starkville because he and his family loves the area.
We were turned down by others because our NIL is shit and they dont want to be a baller on a budget.
I'm not seeing the problem
