We should have accelerated the AD hire instead of slowing it down.

Honestly, it looks like boosters are running our program right now. Fire almost all of Leach's offensive staff and immediately put Bumphis in. And most of the names being floated around for the other assistant spots are guys that used to coach at MSU as well. And now going after some OC that they're enamored with who put up about the same point totals as Leach did this past season. I just hope this works out.
Well you go from a 30th ranked class, which was actually ranked 24th I think, to 130th. We were in a no win situation and whether he had an AD or not we still would've been in a no win situation. We did the best thing we could do at that moment. Now to your second point, some of the boosters are running the program if I had to guess. Look no further than Brad Peterson being installed as the new COS. Again, I'll hold judgement on the OC until one is hired, because we look we did take a big swing. We missed, but we took a big swing instead of just hiring the safe candidate from the jump. That tells me that Arnett isn't scared to take some risks.
