    The reading comprehension within this site is not helping the education image of MS. Jimbo has not been fired. They are just leaking reports that he won't be retained. He will coach Saturday just like Arnette.

    For what Selmon cares about it does.

    Every minute he waits is less people going to the USM game. This affects the school's bottom line.

    The reports I?m reading is that he is out today and will not coach any more games this season.

    I have to disagree Homedawg. It's doesn't matter IMO. Keeping him done just creates more drama the last few games.

    Maybe it?s your comprehension. They?ve already named an interim.

    Nobody is going to buy a ticket to it, only season ticket holders will come...... we aren't losing a dollar. .... now if you own a business in Starkville maybe so. But

    You have that right. Everyone knows how this ends. So why the work up?? He's not gonna be the coach here next year.

    Appreciate you Homedawg, but that's exactly why you should make the move now. Everyone including him knows it's coming. The players know it too. Pretending like it's not inevitable is embarrassing to everyone involved, including Arnett.

    It's going to get worse before it gets better, but ripping off the bandaid now lets people look forward without all the gnashing of teeth. Energy can go towards an optimistic future instead of the disappointing present.

    It would be great if people didn't get so worked up with him still the coach since we know he's gone soon, but that's just not how it goes. It's time to look forward.

    Exactly, I also like Homedawg, good guy but he is wrong on keeping a dead-beat Coach another couple of games. Like I said, it will just drum up more drama, at least firing him now we can discuss who will be our next Coach which is way more interesting than watching Arnett on the sideline with his arms folded.

    We can fire Arnett now but we are not going to have another hire until after the Egg Bowl at the earliest, unless it's Mullen. I do agree we need to go ahead and pull the plug but people acting like we're going to announce a new coach before the end of the week are not living in reality. We can fire him, but we are still on the same timeline. We still can only talk to agents until the regular season ends.

    I really don't care if we fire him now nor wait.

    I'm more concerned that we have a MoU (memorandum of understanding) with our new coach signed asap. Before the carousel gets going and we miss out.

    Like Cohen did with Jans. Get it done now before the season ends.

    exactly. Firing him today accomplishes nothing

    Jans did not sign anything until Sunday morning after they were eliminated. We didn't even meet with him personally until then. Now we had been talking to his agent for a few days. The only reason I say that we need to go ahead and pull the plug is that I'm genuinely afraid we may lose Saturday if Arnett is on the sidelines. He has mailed it in and the team is taking that attitude from him.

    The team didnt mail it in until we kept giving A&M the ball inside our 40 over and over. QB play is the problem

    This team mailed it in sometime during the 1st half of Auburn. Also, our biggest problems have headsets on. Our second biggest problems are the one's standing behind Arnett with clipboards. Then there is the defensive disaster and then finally you get to the QB problem
