Scariest part about firing Arnett

[confucius say]

You just don't get it do you. That's clear. Firing him now might change some things. Might. Maybe we play better. Doubt it. But one thing it doesn't change is the timeline of hiring a coach. Not one DAMN day. Get that through your head please

Whoa. When did I advocate for firing him now? If I said that, please point me to the post and I'll apologize. I specifically said I am much more worried about locking our guy up asap than I am about when we announce Arnett's firing. The "sitting on our hands" I referenced is the concern over Selmon's lack of getting our guy, not our lack of firing Arnett.

[confucius say]

There was no probably not. It was a definite not. They see the coaching carousel every single year and how the dominos fall. We were not locking up anyone early that is not way down on the list.

It's impossible to know that. Likely, I agree. But you can't know that for certain. It is possible you could have gotten in on Doren, clawson, Kinne, Gus, etc last week. I don't mean a signed MoU.

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?

It has been reported for some time that Mullen will not be calling the Egg Bowl this year.

Oh I know that for certain. The only thing we have right now is who is interested so far from agent direction. We don't have a concrete list of the ones we have reached out to other than we will get back to you or that they are possibly interested but want to concentrate on their season right now. We are trying to land some of the better coaches first but they won't talk much right now.

It's time to raise the white flag .... exhausting

I'm not talking about hiring formally this week. Y'all act like this doesn't happen every year. Just last year, auburn fired Harsin early and knew who they were hiring the day their season ended. It leaked the Sunday after the Saturday iron bowl.
Florida fired Mcelwain early and Mullen was hired one day after Florida's season ended.
KY fired Phillips early and Stoops was hired two days after KY season ended, and everybody knew it two days prior. Guess what, Aggie is about to do the same thing.

Again, when we fire ZA is not near as important as having our guy. We should have started on this way before now when we would have been the only sec job open. Just like we did with Jans. We had him done the morning after his season ended. Say what you want about Cohen (I certainly have), but he nailed that process just like he did with freeze.

We know MSU doesn't operate that way.

Although it would be pretty funny if we fire Arnett on a Friday and then announce someone the following Monday.

I'm with you on Jans but if you feel that cohen had more to do with hiring the reverend freeze at auburn than the photo op, well.............

It would be impressive if Selmon is that focused.

I'd rather it be Saturday while the college football world is playing and watching, but Monday would be acceptable too. Hopefully Selmon handles things and that happens.

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.

Not just no but Hell No! We are all in, don't you get it. We are doing all we can do with the smallest budget in the SEC. State can be competitive and has shown it with the right coach. Go Sunbelt? Are you crazy? What monies we do have would dry up.
