Selmon needs to act or get fired

[Quaoarsking]

It is critical that we get this hire right. There might not be a hire this meaningful for the program ever.

I agree with that. I also don't want to give up on this season yet, which is what letting Arnett coach the last 2 games is doing.

[EdwardDrayton]

So the sun sets on a day where other real programs did real work and we sat with our thumbs up our ass. Bout right.

[Coach34]

DESPERATE.

Now suddenly after all these years it doesn't even matter who the head coach is!

Dude...now that the Pure Air Raid is gone- I dont care who the coach is. It matters none to me. But I'll give the next guy we hire a chance just like I did this one

It's just devastating. I was hoping he'd be fired last Sunday, but kinda suspected he'd get another week. However, I was pretty sure this morning that today would be the day, and that makes it sting even more.

You care so little that you have been pumping sunshine for Arnett all year, self-describing what you're doing as "gloating," and even advocating against firing Arnett today to give him 2 more chances. Yeah whatever buddy.

[Coach34]

That was Lee Corso who said that....are you now taking coaching advice from Lee Corso? That's a below .500 career coach who needs to retire because you can't understand every other word out of his mouth and he knows what he is saying and where he is about as much as Biden

No- it was at halftime of one of the games where Gary whats his name said it that used to coach at Maryland or somewhere

[Coach34]

Because Brock and Barbay would be gone too.

Knox HC, Bumphis OC, Hughes DC. Let's have an actual plan because Saturday is NOT a given.

lmao- this has to be a joke. Neither one of those guys could get a 6A head coaching job in Mississippi

[Coach34]

Yet AGAIN, it is NOT dumb to fire him now because Arnett's presence on the sideline decreases our odds of winning these last two games. So yes, I want to do what is best for our program and not have him on the sidelines anymore.

As I said on the other thread, I suspect anyone balking at firing Arnett today is doing so because they don't really want him fired at all. There's no reason to wait, so there must be something else going on.

Actually, and I dont know if this is true- but a rumor is he has to finish the season to trigger the buyout being lowered in half

[Quaoarsking]

It's awfully convenient that this "rumor" doesn't come out until today, isn't it? People have been talking about firing him for weeks, seriously discussing it since at least the Kentucky game, and it's not until today, after Keenum and Selmon stab the fanbase in the back in a brutal betrayal, that the pro-Arnett crowd (people who want him to remain our coach, but know they can't explicitly say so after last night's debacle) starts spinning this "oh yeah, well acksually his buyout is not what has been said all along, it's this different thing. So don't worry. We'll just fire him later when we can winkwink"

I asked this very question last week (does the season need to be fully complete before the buyout is lowered) and someone - I don't recall who - said it did not matter.

The guy I've seen it suggested by on Twitter (Andrew Miller) is mostly definitely not pro-Arnett. He didn't say it was so, he wondered if that could be the reason. It could be.

damn dude. Arnett will not be our coach in 2024

[Cooterpoot]

I watched Cadillac ****ing Williams galvanize his team and almost beat us. If he can do it, then we can do it.

You think he beat Alabama? Because OM is that much better than us. I don't care who coaches. We aren't beating OM.
It's a 17ing excuse that's pointless. We aren't magically going to the Leach Air Raid so Will can play dump off all night. We aren't likely going to have our RB I playing. We aren't getting back the best defensive players from last year to help out this disgustingly pathetic example of a defense. Even our punter sucks.

[Quaoarsking]

I hope you're right. Too bad we didn't make it official today. Too bad we are lowering our chances to get to 6-6 by not doing it today and waiting 12 days for no reason. Kinda makes you wonder if there's an ulterior motive, doesn't it?

No- not at all. It makes me think we want our next HC to think we dont overreact and do shitty things to our coaches. Contrary to what you think- firing Arnett after 1 season while transitioning from the AR will rub some guys in the business the wrong way. We are going to do it- but it will turn off some guys.

[Homedawg]

I mean do we want to have State fans show up to the next two games or not. I was planning to go to both at the start of this season.

Im not gonna rush down to see the USM game. Im planning to be in the egg bowl for maybe a quarter.

I think I speak for the average out of town state fan.

If you don't go bc we haven't fired ZA yet then and that's your sole reason, you aren't a fan of msu.... bc he's gonna get fired. But do as you wish

[Homedawg]

You realize we can be looking for a coach WO making an announcement that our coach is fired, right???

haaaaaa jokes on you. The NCAA says an AD cant talk to agents unless a school fires their coach. Its a law. I read it on the internets

If a potential coach is scared after watching this team then they have no business taking the reigns.

[Coach34]

Yes because coaches have no idea what its like to start your 2nd and 3rd team QB's for 4-5 games after losing your starter. Those coaches know how easy it is to plug guys in just like fans do on playstation

While you guys give this staff no quarter after losing Rogers coaches understand that shit hurts your program and causes problems
