Scariest part about firing Arnett
- First time AD making his first HC hire
- worst budget in SEC
- Will be replacing a coach he fired in his first season and will have to explain to every candidate how they can feel secure
- Worst NIL in the West
Bottom line, Selmon and MSU have GOT to be prepared to overpay for a HC for the first time ever. We don't have the ability to score some steal. No relationships, no leverage, no full cupboard....it will be all about the money, and we are MSU so we will need more than most programs to entice anyone of worth

Everyone in the universe knows Arnett fell ass backwards into this job because of the timing CML's passing. This is not a factor.
Everyone wants to be a beast...until its time to do what beasts do.

I’ve been against it, but honestly now I’m ok with it cause I know what we get….pay Dan to come back….maybe we can also pay him to not bring the country club with him. He’s calling the Egg Bowl, don’t let him leave Starkville that night…
-
You dont have to explain anything, the prior coach died and the president made a short sighted decision with no AD. Any prospective coach will be fine with that
-
Any prospective coach who is scared to take the job because he thinks he might get fired because our standards are just too hard is not the guy we want anyway.

If they brought back Mullen I would never give MSU another penny. Ever.
There's someone in my head but its not me.

That seems remarkably short-sighted.

Imagine what Mullen could do with Parson…

I say hire Mullen today and let him coach against Southern and Ole Miss. Half his old staff is currently on staff so it should be a pretty smooth transition.
If he doesn't seem to have the fire to coach again just let him go after the Egg Bowl.
Just kidding. But seriously.

Yeah, That doesn't concern me at all.
What concerns me is we will now have to compete with 3 or more SEC schools hiring in the SEC.

We're gonna end up with Lebby as the head coach.

We will not be fishing in the same pond as TAM, if we are then they have screwed their search

We are talking about the same fans that think bringing back Mullen or hiring Malzahn is what we should do so...
-
Fire Arnett. Now. Should have already happened. We let A&Mediocre beat us to the punch. Really?!!?? They were bowl eligible 6-4, beat us by 40 and they had to come up with $70 million!!!
Strike 1 Zac; we're waiting and the clock is ticking. We already gave you a free pass with Lemo.
Then pay whatever it costs to get our replacement of choice. All in or we go Sunbelt.

What is wrong with Mullen? Seriously. We know what we get with him. He knows the landscape. We could do much worse…we already have twice.

I think one thing people aren’t factoring in is the roster next year. It’s so bad it’s going to scare some coaches off. Kiffin didn’t go to Arkansas because of the mess Morris left.
We have to overpay to get this done.
-
This program is finished. Hell A&M's program may be finished.

No we won't but we could very well be fishing in the same pond as school where their replacement comes from.

SEC West doesnt exist in two more weeks and our NIL is probably about top 30 in the NCAA
