Yeah. We can't be mad at him going after KB. We should be mad if he didn't try.

Agree to disagree. He’s botching the OC hire. Outside of Briles, the names getting traction are garbage. And we are about to be out of the first portal window with no new offensive players.
I will gladly eat crow. But everything that has happened after the bowl game has been one bad thing after the other.

Everyone trashing on CZA at this point are garbage and that's coming from someone who was skeptical of the hire.

We didn't hear anything about KB until contract negotiations other than we had no chance. Let's hope another name is about to come in that's just as promising

Coach conference is next few days. Probably has some interviews lined up there. I don't think we're going to get a "known commodity" for OC. We've almost filled the O side already. My guess, it'll be an OC that's got some QB development on his resume. As much as I hated our offense, Im not going to lie, im a little concern about this hire.

Some folks are losing perspective. I?m tbis age, we feel like we need to know everything. The only thing we know for sure is that we made a run at Briles. The Bobo stuff was garbage. Arnett has made good hires IMO so far.

The issue is some fans thought that we would just throw money and some known OC and that was all there is to it- they would jump.
But when you're paying a coach 3 million it's hard to go above 1.5 even if the money is "there".
And also established OC's aren't going to be totally impressed with who some MSU fans demand to have as assistants in place- see Bumphis and Friend. They may want to bring their own staff in. Right now we have about half a staff filled out- maybe more on that side of the ball including two o-line coaches which is a pretty important hire for coaches.
Add in a unknown as a head coach with Arnett.
So we're probably going to be looking at guys like Casey Woods that are young and up and comers if I had to guess that aren't necessarily household names that have "some question marks" and some risk. But at least we have a veteran QB and a veteran offensive line plus some talent at WR and RB to work with. We just need to be smart with our scheme and find someone that fits them. If we do that we can have a really good year with even an average OC.

Agree. At this point it looks like a coach from a lower tier school will be who we go with. Not that's bad....just not a splash hire.

I appreciate that. I try to protect my sources and don't say a lot of what I hear. But I promise I don't Post anything that I don't have a confirmed source. W that said, sometimes info changes. Ex, cohen didn't have g henderson as his top pitching coach choice. That was true. But guess what happened. We hired Gary henderson. So when I said we weren't hiring Gary henderson I was to right, until his top choices didn't take the job... and then I wasn't.. But in this case, i trust the info I have that bobo was never ever ever on our list. Rosebowl be damned.

I doubt anyone knows who is in consideration if he's headed to the conference to interview.

I agree w this. Doesn't mean he won't fail. Nil, sec. This isn't Alabama. Only two coaches not fired in my lifetime were Mullen and leach. ...

From the latest update, one of the coaches we are interested in is coaching in the national title game, IT IS NOT GARRETT RILEY AND IT IS NOT MIKE BOBO OR TODD MONKEN. I do not have a singular name but my guess is that it is AJ Ricker or Doug Meacham.

I have to say, if nothing else seeing C34 defend our coach has been refreshing. I'm not use to it 😂😂

He's not botching anything. No need to rush the hire. Make the right hire? everything else will fall into place

That's good to hear. I'm going into hibernation until a person has been announced by Feldman. Really no reason to just guess.

This. The ranks have closed and there is radio silence. I'm glad they've done it too.
