We lack vision as to what our football program could be and we settle for less and cut corners.

Too easily do we accept that "we can't because" instead of trying to find a way to overcome the problem.

First and foremost we need to find ways to continue to build NIL. We need to find a way to build a recruiting machine and pump money into improving our resources. MSU should be embarrassed to be last in the SEC in recruiting. Instead of trying to fix it we just convince ourselves that we can find diamonds in the rough and out develop everyone. And that recruiting rankings really don't matter. MSU needs to stop making excuses and improve it. I don't care if it's not as much or as good as Alabama - we could be a lot better than we are.

That leads to the need to fix the product on the field. Start at the top with the coach. Arnett is a meathead who isn't interesting and doesn't inspire anything. Jackie made people talk. Dan made people talk. Leach made people talk. Heck- even Croom had the first African American coach angle. We need a good coach but we also need someone that is relatable. Someone with some charisma.

Then run an offense that is exciting and does something crazy like score points. And no it doesn't have to be the Air Raid. Although it could be a modified Air Raid. Could be the Veer and Shoot. Could be a pass first pro style offense like Washington. What we run looks like a shitty high school offense. People don't want to pay hundreds of dollars to watch something that they can see on Friday night for 10 bucks except with our guys running into each other and not knowing which direction the play is going half the time. It's boring as hell and we're sloppy with it. Run an aggressive blitzing defense like we all love. Be good on special teams- do the Dog Pound Rock and don't half ass it. Bring back the Mad Dawgs Special Teams unit. Have the Mad Dawgs symbol be a pirate flag or a skull as a tribute to Mike Leach.

And do things our fans like. Keep the uniforms we wore tonight. Our fans love them. Don't change it. Make our stadium atmosphere the best in the SEC.

NO MORE BLUE COLLAR HARD WORKING SLOGANS! WE'RE NOT A BUNCH OF FARMERS ANYMORE!
