We need to start being a little more aggressive on taking a chance on coaching talent if we believe a coach that is not as proven as say a Leach is potentially special.

That's a big difference between MSU baseball and MSU football. If we think a baseball coach is potentially special whether that is an assistant or a head coach we pay and we do what it takes to get them.

In football we worry about things like age, and they had a bad year one time six years ago, and they've never been to Mississippi, etc.

If I'm MSU this offseason and Arnett doesn't work out, my first call is to Sonny Dykes and I'm going to offer him 40 million a year for 5 years and then see if he can bring in Kendall Briles, Ben Arbuckle, or Mack Leftwich to run the offense. Now he may very well say no but that's the type of move we should be trying to make.

If that doesn't work go after Dickert at Wazzu.

After that then go after the Tyson Helton's, Charles Huff, Kinne at Texas State, etc.
