The buy out is 50% of the remaining contract

Let me introduce you to the #6 offense in the nation

WSU 4-0. They are ranked #13 in the nation with a win over Wisconsin.

Scoring offense... 5th at 45 plus per game.


Hire Arbuckle... hire the whole staff!

[confucius say]

I didnt think we would be stupid enough to hire Leach. But we did and here we are.

Weird take. Leach won everywhere he coached, despite all of those places being hard places to win.

[Maverick91]

Idk if he would be a good fit down here he has only coached in the Midwest but the dude can couch. Could we pull Matt Entz from North Dakota State? That is a powerhouse and the dude has looked good since he has been there when he started in 2019.

Edit: if the dude keeps doing what he is doing he is going to get a shot somewhere big.

[BlackSailsDawg]

Only a Croom/JoMo type coaching staff and this present one are stubborn enough to try to implement their square pegs round hole offense. This bunch continues to run out a 4th string GA player who has never caught a pass in four or so years at GA & State, along with questionable blocking skills and a Freshman OL at TE. Only "TE" with a catch is really a WR playing out of position there also.

Reading facts would make any person think. "Why the hell would we make that kind of a change with out the ROSTER to run what the OC wants?" Who does that?

Only and mean only if we are hiring the HC. Arbuckle is not ready to run a P5 program. 5 years from now we will see.

Someone I would take a strong look at is Jamey Chadwell. Liberty head coach. He did an amazing job at Coastal Carolina and has Liberty undefeated so far in his first season. He does have a 4mil contract through 2030 but Liberty has no conceivable path to Power 5.

He was also the head coach for one year at Delta State earlier in his career, so he is familiar with the area. He will be somewhere big eventually.

He was my first thought (not as a HC), then I thought "do we really go back to the WSU well again?" Oh well, Why not?

I think he might have some skeletons in the closet.

I think if it happens we wind up with either Petrino, Beamer or Malzhan. Petrino may go after the Florida job if it opens up. Malzhan may get a look from Arkansas. I know he was OC there under Nutt. Beamer is a long shot but stranger things have happened.

You just have to be careful at that small of a program with long history of success with multiple coaches. Gohl built it but has been below .500 At Wyoming. Klieman absolutely! And was even better than Gohl. He also spent several years at Northern Iowa. They churn out top notch coaches. Entz hasn't maintained that same level as Klieman I would like to see a G5 level success from him or him to pick back up NDST for a few years. Great coach though and also a part of that Northern Iowa tree.

[parabrave]

Just go hire Merls and be over with it. No other coach can go find talent to fit his scheme, get them cheap, coach them up and start winning. And this time he will quit searching for a job after the Kentucky game/

He had some recruiting violations in 2016, but I'll be honest, in today's NIL world, recruting violations in the "old" world are meaningless to me. I'm just glad we have the option to get out of this mess and start talking about real staffs we can bring in.

[Goldendawg]

That we could get any caoch to agree to a lowball deal like this for SEC West program shows what a Mickey Mouse decision and commitment we made to "compete" against our opponents in the SEC this year. I haven't followed their record although many here said AZ would have a very good year, but I bet they are still very tee'd off they lost to us!

Air Raid'ers wouldn't like it. Lol
He has done well so far but it's a run option offense with vertical passing. I think he has a big buyout too though, just going by memory, could be wrong. You have to vet him carefully though.

Intriguing for sure. But does he know any local high school coaches that can stand on the sideline and tell him what to do? Or possibly connections with fired SEC coaches that nobody else wants?

[DownwardDawg]

No coach is going to leave SC to come to State

I've never believed he would. Just replying about his name that keeps being brought up.

[BlackSailsDawg]

Bobby Patrinoooooo*

LOL... Actually not really opposed to it.

Yes, that is true. Very good description of his offense. Not sure about a buyout though.

None. He's only coached in Midwest, northern and west coast.

My God that's amateur hour.

I mean, if Jackie Sherrill was put back on staff and he was Arnett's mentor/advisor on the sideline, that's one thing but having a HS coach telling you how to coach a P5 program is absolutely ludicrous and Dollar General level coaching.
