DC Search Update?

[ShotgunDawg]

Go back and read the thread from when Willie Gay announced he was going pro. Or the one where you bashed one of our baseball player's families. I'd take a long hard look at those before you call anyone else a turd

Goodness. Go away.

This is a message board.

1. Willie Gay was/is an extremely selfish player. When you act like he did at MSU you get what comes to you.
2. I don't remember saying something about a baseball player's family.
3. Why are you keeping up with things like this? Get a life.
4. Something get me riled up like selfishness & a lack of balls. Other things like DCs that we replace most years don't .
5. Again, get a life
6. Anyone that keeps notes on what people say on a message is the definition of a turd. A "Gotcha" type person. Loser

I think that's part of it. That's my biggest question on Arnett. Rocky Long did the game planning & play calling at SDSU. I just would want to know how much if any was Arnett involved in those areas.

Why don't we just go get Rocky Long and call it a day? If he's as good of buddies with Leach as it sounds like, wouldn't he jump at the opportunity to be his DC in the SEC? I know he's 69 (nice!) years old but he's got to have a few more years in him before he's ready to hang it up. Heck, let McBath be like a Co-DC and learn under him and then let him take over when Rocky is ready to hang it up. We wouldn't be relying on Rocky to be a relentless recruiter being the DC and being 69. He's one of the greatest defensive minds in CFB. Just go after him, get it done, and let's roll.

Not sure if you're serious. Leach is now looking fit his 5th option. That's not a good thing... leach thought 4 guys would've been better

We're at least on option #3. We know 2 people have told us no.

I have not seen the official statement that we offered 2 people and they declined. My apologies if it's actually been confirmed we offered

[Ifyouonlyknew]

You've never conducted interviews... it's the best thing ever to be told no a few times. Your 3-4th choice is always the best one

I know you're being sarcastic but it's not who says no that matters it's who says yes. That's what we're going to be judged by. What Napier & Judge do with their careers is now irrelevant what Leach does is what matters. Same way here. What Walters & Newberry does doesn't affect MSU what White or Arnett it whoever it is will.

2 no's into the process but several others we couldn't get off the starting blocks with. We are definitely down the list at this point. BUT, as long as we hire a good coach, it doesn't matter.

Thanks I just typed the same thing.

Lol +1

[Dawg-gone-dawgs]

well damn it's Arnett! I bet Syracuse is thrilled

[ShotgunDawg]

OMG freak out!!!!!!

This guy will be fine.... Goodness some of you

[StateDawg44]

I get what you are saying and all but it's not like there are press releases put out if we offer or get turned down ever. Not sure how your point here stands really

[KOdawg1]

I'm intrigued by the 3-3-5 and the Long connection. We'll see

[HailStateSZN19]

OMG freak out!!!!!!

This guy will be fine.... Goodness some of you

Are you directing that at me for posting the Tweet, Gun? Or you saying most on the board in general?

Point me to any point where I've freaked out. I actually like this. He's been groomed under one of the greatest defensive minds in CFB. He's young and hungry. I can ride with this hire.

[Irondawg]

Maybe we can talk long into coming in as a consultant as well.

Hard to judge how this one will turn out

He's directing it at me bc I've expressed concern about the defensive hires, and how dare I do such a thing.

[Ifyouonlyknew]

Leach hired a sitting P5 DC

I've thought the same. Would be great

No.

Sorry that you were included here. Was pointing that at KOdawg for being ridiculous.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

ALRIGHT! Now that we probably have our guy we can discuss it:

I'm not a fan of the 3-3-5 for us. 1) we're very thin at LB relative to DL, 2) MS turns our more high level DLs than LBs.

That said, I expect he'll adapt. Grantham wants to run a 3-4 but ran a 4-3 here because that's how Sweat made the most impact

And arnet is now on his 2nd P5 DC job and hasn't given up a 1st down haha
