Downgrading arnett seemed impossible

[Coldsleeve Jr.]

Who would've thought a first time HC paired with a first time DC would struggle in the SEC

[WinningIsRelentless]

Let?s look at it this way:
Had to buy a whole new ol
New Qb
A couple WR?s
Whole TE room
Whole interior DL
New Safeties
One Corner

And whoever decided to bring in Blanton needs to wear concrete shoes in the reservoir. Kid has zero business being on a sec team. To small plus to slow. The only stops we got last night was when he was on the bench.

At the end of the day it goes back to what Saban said week 1 on game day. If you spend 20 million on the wrong ones you are shit out of luck.

It doesn't matter how good the QB and WRs are when the OL is garbage. The RBs are too except for maybe the third stringer.

This is the truth. They suck so bad there is no way this offense can get going if they don?t improve. I don?t see them running into each other in he back field so I assume they are going in the right direction. But they can?t block or move anyone. They are pathetic. So in turn, the O is pathetic.

[Bdawg]

this OL is supposed to be better than last years

What?s your point? They aren?t.

[msstate7]

What?s your point? They aren?t.

We should be. If they aren't, who is to blame?

Saban said right, once the portal closes, you got who ya got. And we got a pile of shit. Every kid out there thinks they deserve money and most don’t deserve a damn thing. It’s cost money just to fill a team out it seems. I don’t see but a handful on this team that needs something

[Bdawg]

We should be. If they aren't, who is to blame?

The coaches. No doubt about it. I’m not saying it isn’t. I don’t know if they got who they really wanted or had to settle. NIL world absolutely sucks for us. Saw it coming when it first came out. I thought Pounders was a win but apparently not. The whole unit looks terrible. But if we fire every coach in year one, I can with 100% certainty be sure we will suck every year. Now I think a coach needs to show some type of improvement each year to the program to give you hope. Guess we will see, but in this now society, no one has the patience anymore.
Also, why should they be better? There are no guarantees the players you bring in will be better. You are just hoping they are.

[DownwardDawg]

the proper hire would have been a successful head coach at a lower level. in the new era there are no training wheels or experiments

We had that option and outsmarted everyone by hiring a coordinator. Many of us knew we needed to hire a sitting Head Coach and we were chastised by this board for making our opinions known.

Not only did our AD "outsmart everyone," he just hired his friend from his old job.

[Homedawg]

We're going to have to overpay to get some players.

And we're going to need a new DC.

Better find some money.

[WinningIsRelentless]

Better find some money.

We are probably better off taking the payout money for dc and using it to buy better players for a year. Then make a call on the dc.

[Todd4State]

Better find some money.

Better find some people that can spend it better.

[Pancho]

need another OL coach as bad as anything else. arky couldn't block for sh*t last year and now he is here..........

[StateDawg44]

Would it not make more sense to make a call on DC and then let him get his players instead of having to work with this babbage and the previous DCs choices?

[Mjoelner34]

Yep!

https://goheels.com/sports/football/...-clements/4297

Pay him $800k and go get him!

[Wink&aPrayer]

bullshit. Lebby is no better. We have much more offensive talent than last year

What HAS the world come to.

We Need a real coach w/exp.

[BuckyIsAB****]

You are trash. Yes the team quit. We all saw it. There was no buy-in. It was old dudes wanting to keep things their way- not having to do something new

The WR's absolutely wanted no part of blocking. We saw it real time.

Dude do you think WRs didn?t block in the air raid? You are holding on to one play where tulu was lazy (yall blamed leach for him not getting the ball more, turns out there was a reason) and got a kid hurt. The yacht club and Keenum killed MS State football. Brag about that

[BuckyIsAB****]

And it is absolutely hilarious to see that our best play in the showtime offense is four verticals. A leach standard. All we have done now is add a slow ass play fake to it

[StarkVegasSteve]

You can blame Mullen, Moorhead, Leach, Arnett, Lebby, Brad Peterson, Steve Campbell, Will Friend, Kevin Barbay, Dave Emerick, Matt Dudek, Keenum, boosters, or whoever the hell else you want to blame and you would probably be right to a certain extent on each one of them. But everyone is missing who this blame should always fall at the feet of....John Cohen. He backstabbed a lot of people to get the AD job and then gutted the program of any hype the minute he walked in the door so he could move it all to baseball. Hell he hired a philanderer to be his replacement just so he could have a plan so he could get the AD job. Had he done any digging into Cannizarro's past that stuff would've come out. And I like Andy btw. Still do. Think he's a hell of a baseball coach and a hell of a recruiter. Not the best human, but a fun guy to have a few drinks with. He was late to NIL because he tried to make sure baseball had the only NIL. Hell he actively fought against the Bulldog Initiative until he realized that the baseball team would suffer if he didn't let it succeed. This guy single handedly tried to gut the athletic dept FOR 17 BASEBALL. A sport that runs at near deficit or deficit every year. I understand we have passionate baseball only fans, but even they know what pays the damn bills. John Cohen will go down as the worst AD of our time. And yes, that includes Larry Templeton.
