Apparently we have hired a RB coach

[Really Clark?]

There?s one reason I wouldn?t like the hire of Richardson and that?s bc he doesn?t know how to recruit in this conference. We just lost a talented recruiter in Huff and one of the best recruiters in the south in Hudspeth. I love that we got Hughes back but hiring Ferri a downgrade and Richardson is sort of a downgrade. We need a guy in the south.

I think people are very confused about who was actually been pulling their weight recruiting this year. Especially this fall/winter. Hud was not an allstar, especially lately. Johnson has been better than both Hud and Huff this year.

We lost 4 games Dak's senior year....

And 3 his junior year....

Including 2 EB's....

May not be a better post although for some on here without reading comprehension, which seems to be a lot, it will jet right over their heads.

[Dawg-gone-dawgs]

Nope! Just a few posters on ED who like to get attention

trust me it's not limited to ED

I'll be happy to think like i do vs think like you do.

I wonder who it was that dropped Coach Ferri name about a month ago and told eveyone don’t go ****ing meltdown if we hire the guy. Very solid coach and recruiter and as expected everyone melts because he isnt from the “south”

Well Mullen had 9 years to get players and put more guys in the league. And eveyone can thank Coach Austin for that 2017 class
Sweat , Abram, Cole, Landrews ... basically all the juco guys ... #bringbackPat

I've never seen a bigger melt over an asst coach leaving that we we have got going on. Bama lost a ton of coaches this week and they just got their asses handed to them, I wonder if they are flipping shit. We will go get someone else's RB coach its going to be ok

It?s not about just an assnt coach. We went 8-4 with probably one of the most talented MSU football teams we will see in our lifetimes and completely squandered a rare opportunity in the SEC, lost to an average Iowa team in a bowl we have been wanting to 20 years, lost commitments from multiple talented recruits, and have now lost 3 coaches (possibly several more) all in the space of about 3 weeks.

The program (to even the casual fan based on a conversation I had this morning) appears to be flying off the rails at breakneck speed. Maybe it?s Cohen?s strategy to focus on winning in baseball and women?s basketball. Good luck with that...I?m sure they will generate enough money to keep the athletic program afloat.

As someone who lives in the northeast, I'm very excited that MSU coaches have finally woken up to the enormous amount of HS talent we have up here.

We have great players, you just gotta break through the ice and pull 'em out first.

He was the recruiting coordinator at Miami. That seems pretty good.

Right, but he's now the RB coach at UConn... how good could that stint at Miami be viewed if that was the best job he could get? Not saying he's a bad hire just that there's 2 sides to his resume

[ejdallas322]

Reno Ferri is not a good recruiter. Idk what u ppl are talking abt. The dude only has two, three star commitments ALL-TIME and is ranked 71 in the ACC for recruiters. That is the definition of a downgrade right there.

[ejdallas322]

Moorhead needs to get new friends bc the guys he knows are not what we need at all to win in the SEC.

Agree....

And I’m not defending CJM at all because last year 8-5 was a disappointment , but there wasn’t one talking head or football expert or anyone nationally that didn’t think Moorhead was a HR hire.

But melting down over him losing coaches is rich. Mullen couldn’t keep a DC , of course his boys ( Knox Hev and Gonzo ) didn’t go anywhere no one wanted them. And he had Sallach as a TE coach for ****s sake

You nailed it with Coach Pat. We need to get him back and have him team up with Hughes; that would be as lock down in the state of MS then any other combo.

I appreciate the insight and inside info from certain posters.....but it's hard not to sigh when we're being told "everything is fine" by the same guys preaching that "our current staff will recruit at a different level than the old guard" and "Joe is likable, coaches want to work with him", as our recruiting class dies a slow death and coaches are jumping ship like the Titanic.

Is there some overreaction? Maybe. But don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining either...this is quickly becoming a total shit show within a year of the guy being hired. No need to criticize those pointing out the obvious. But that's just me.

Yep. This staff was next level recruiting, and yet, we 10th in the sec and looking like we'll get 5 of the 18 players rated 88 or better in the state. We're absolutely killing it 'cruitn

We'll be criticized for saying it, but Mullen and the country club would have done better than this, while not blowing the '18 season in the process. Thank God for the Ole Miss guy, Marcus Johnson...if not for him knowing how to close Cross, it would be a total train wreck.

Name me who Mullen and his boys get that we don’t have now... and you could prob take Jarrian off the list, Cunningham wasn’t even offered by Hev , and Cross we would of had zero shot at..

Again not defending Moorhead but ****... he has barely been here a full year yet.

Impossible to know. However, he always finished what, 20-35 in recruiting WITHOUT a loaded Mississippi class....so it's hard to think he wouldn't have smoked this class Joe is putting together. Especially since he'd probably be recruiting on the back of a successful 10+ Win season instead of a thud.

I honestly think Dan would've only won 1 additional regular season game; he'd have beaten Florida. Now obviously 9-3 would've been a decent season, but his offense would've still bogged down against the better defenses, just like it did every other year.
