For Those of You Who Want Him Gone...

[Maridian Dawg]

I'm not on the JoMo train, and I haven't been since last year after the Florida game, but he'd have to screw up big time for me to fire him this year. So, those of you who want him gone on November 29, 2019, who is on your short list of coaches?

[msstate7]

Unless we go 3-9, I don't think you can fire him this year unless urban Meyer calls wanting the job haha

[Saltydog]

Agreed. Those wanting him "gone" simply aren't being rational at this point. Do I think he's a good long term fit for us, "no" but you can't fire him this year unless we completely implode (4-8 or worse).

Bill Clark. What he has done at UAB is nothing short of a miracle.

Buddy of mine mentioned it but Bob Stoops would be a good hire after he had a little time off.

Only question with him is how would his recruiting stack up. Even coaching them up, you still need a top 30ish class to compete in the SEC West.

I'll say it before they play OM. Justin Wilcox from Cal

Great call. I been watching them play. Their defense is not a typical west coast defense. They're nasty and he's got them playing hard! Would be a top notch hire

And bring Arroyo the OC from Oregon with him. Do what it takes to keep shoop as dc

I like Scott Satterfield,but really don't care If it is Moorhead or some random nobody. I just want to see a well coached ,hard playing team put on the field. Coaching means more at State than a lot of other places because of our recruiting limitations .

[StarkVegasSteve]

Top 10 realistically in no particular order:

1. Mike Leach- I still think he has the itch to coach in the SEC and with the people Moorhead has brought in I think he could really utilize the talent we have.
2. Bill Clark- Would probably be number 1 on a lot of people's list. Has deep recruiting connections in the South and as mentioned above, what he's done at UAB has been a miracle.
3. Lane Kiffin- might as well kick the tires on this. I think he'd leave if the right opportunity presented itself. Name has cooled considerably since his first year at FAU, but he's still relatively young. He can recruit and he knows how to coach offense.
4. Mike Norvell- This would probably be my choice. Reported problems aside, this guy is a hell of an offensive mind and he'd kill it with SEC speed in his offense.
5. Bryan Harsin- Seems to have hit his max at Boise and I think he could be ready for a move. Was at Arkansas St. during that run of all their coaches leaving after a year.
6. Brett Venables- He has to leave Clemson eventually so I think you'd have to interview him if he agreed to it. He's been as important a part in their run to the top as Dabo.
7. Seth Littrell- Extremely bright young offensive mind. Has deep recruiting ties in Texas and all over the South.
8. Dave Arranda- This guy's knowledge of the game is otherworldly. Someone is gonna get him in the next two years. I think he's a superstar in the making.
9. Joe Brady- He's extremely young, only 29, but what he's done with the LSU offense would make anyone want to give this guy a shot.
10. Willie Fritz- He's really elevated Tulane and runs basically the same offense Dan ran. A lot of solid recruiting ties in the South.

Heck yeah while we're dreaming let's do it right. They punched Washington in the mouth at Seattle and just beat on the huskies all night. Way more physical than Washington. Weird seeing a pac12 team play like that!

Same here. I just want to see the Mississippi State brand of football being played again. Tough as nails, hard-nosed smashmouth football with a disciplined unit.

[Maridian Dawg]

i don't think Cohen would go for Leach. I could definitely see Bill Clark or Mike Norvell being a solid coach here.

Agreed....JoMo will be our coach at least through 2020 if not 2021...

Bill Clark. What he has done at UAB is nothing short of a miracle.

Two years ago, I was all about it. But this is the same Bill Clark who nearly lost to Alabama State at home this year. I?ll pass this time around.

Gotta have an offensive coach and someone that can develop a QB to be the HC here. Only way we will ever get over the hump. People don?t wanna hear this, but the day Bama and LSU decided to open up their offenses was the day running the ball 80% of the time trying to go toe to toe with those guys were gone. You have to have the ability to throw it in this league now or guys will just stack the box; which is what we saw all of last year and against Kansas St the first half. That said, Brady intrigues me. What he has done with LSU is wonderful. Be then again...LSU has always had WR?s and there is a reason they backed off Guidry and Whop.

I don't want him gone. I want him to do better and succeed. I've stayed numerous times, and the unicorns won't believe it, that he and his staff bust their ass recruiting. He's a really good guy and can represent us well. W that's said, he needs to do a better job on the field. That's been below avg at best.

So you think bob stoops would take our job?? Holy cow.

[ScoobaDawg]

Bob's taking a chance on a low stress.. Job with the new xfl in Dallas. I don't think he has any interest of every going back to any ncaa program.. Even a top one
