    This only means one thing / the pirate had already had this in place. He is no more of a gamble than any other coach we could hire at this point and he keeps the roster together. Let's roll!!

    I’m having New Orleans Saints- Dennis Allen PTSD. I hope he runs the same offense. Arnett should be able to keep our defense intact.

    Isn't Arnett on record that he and his family like Starkville? That should be important

    You can't wait till after the bowl game under these circumstances. Our current players wanted to know and needed to know as soon as it was practical and some of our commits had second thoughts not knowing who the coach would be.

    Given the circumstances it's a good move. If we don't stabilize things we could really see this recruiting class and transfer class fall to pieces which we can't afford to have happen. Wondering if we will put SS Jr in full charge of the offense and try to hold that side of the staff in tact?

    Needed to be done. Hire a guy who will run the updated version of the Air raid and hire a QB coach who will work with the QBs,

    This is sick! I dig his attitude, we will see if he can run an organization. I like the recruiting of the past two days. Let’s keep it up. Start strong CZA let’s get this bowl win.

    Yeah any coach is a gamble, because you don't know how they will work out in your particular situation until they actually are your coach.

With us not having to pay him a huge salary we can use the excess to hire great coordinators and staff to surround him. He at least gives us continuity. Let's get behind Zack, the players and staff and support the heck out of them!
    Yes. Hail State!

    I would definitely hope not. He hasn't ever even called plays. If for some unknown reason we had to hire from within on the OC ( which I don't see we will), I had rather have Drew Hollingshead as OC.

    Love his fire and passion and how he coaches his defense

    It just sucks knowing MS state will be firing him in 3 years

    This is MS State succumbing to its pecking order in the SEC

    Why would you just assume this - he has more control of his guys than any other coordinator in America. He can handle the responsibility - name a coach that would be less of a gamble and would definitely come here.
