    I keep hearing the same names of Pry and Wilcox along with Austin Armstrong. If I had to handicap it at this time, it's probably

    1. Wilcox
    2. Pry
    3. Armstrong


    However, that's just kind of how I'm reading it. I could be completely off base. I do know the hire will not be Colin Hitschler, who some people are wanting for some weird reason.

    Hah! I kind of wanted to see what the meltdown would be if they went from Coleman Hutzler to Colin Hitschler.

    We have our own people on local radio lambasting our admin for not going after Muschamp.

    People listen to this and think "What are we doing? We should be going after Muschamp!"

    Our morons on the radio do us ZERO favors.

    Bo Bounds? Bo has no understanding of the fact that Will Muschamp is 100% happy not being a fulltime coach.

    You could've just stopped at Bo has no understanding. He consistently has some of the worst takes I have ever heard. Which is weird, because Bo the person is actually a good dude who is knowledgeable. Bo Bounds the character though has gotten really stale and old. He's started steering way more into the character in the last 5-7 years and I don't ever listen anymore. I used to at least listen to the interviews but now he's gotten bad in those where he'll try to interject his hot takes into every conversation.

    Also, just so everyone is clear.......WILL MUSCHAMP IS NOT COMING HERE. He is not going anywhere. He is happy showing up to the UGA complex whenever he pleases, collecting 6 figure yearly checks, and living the good life in the town he went to college in. We called him and gauged interest and that's as far as it ever went.

    He's usually not too bad. But that is the inherent problem with fanboy media. They have no clue how things work because they are fanboys. And this is not a shot at Brian because I think he's definitely mellowed over the years, but he still reverts back to the fanboy from time to time. They think Mississippi State is God's gift to this universe and everyone should be crawling on broken glass to work in Starkville. They think the second we offer our job to someone they just jump at it. They also usually have no clue how football coaches operate. They think that they always are looking for the next big paycheck. They never seem to be able to comprehend that a guy like Muschamp, who has made 6.3 in a buyout from Florida and 13 mil from USCe, is just happy living in his college town making 6 figures a year and working about 20 hours a week.

    And that's not just our fanboy media btw. That's most schools. These guys aren't making a whole lot of money so they believe that any time more money is offered you have to take it. There's guys like Liucci with TexAgs and Matt Jones with KSR that have been able to branch out and make some REAL money. Neal McCready has done it on a smaller scale but it's the same thing. You're not going to be able to convince a guy making 55K a year that the guy who makes 350K a year doesn't want the 2 mil a year job because he's happy. That doesn't comprehend to them. Because if someone offered them 60K they'd take it.

    I for the life of me can’t understand how these guys think it does us any good. Are we so disaffected that this is the only way that he thinks he gets ears and eyes on his product? I really feel that he’s so wrapped up with that bunch of politically connected Madison booster types he can’t see the forest for the trees.

    His dad bought him a radio spot about 2 decades ago. He was actually pretty good at first and really wasn't biased one way or the other. Now he tries to sway his opinions to whatever team is doing well and is constantly running down Mississippi State because Selmon doesn't really care for him.

    My favorite Bo Bounds take was that Blake Hinson was going to be a lottery pick after he scored 26 against us in Starkville. For reference, he went undrafted and is in the G League

    My favorite take is that Barry Odom was a STUD head coach and how we should have hired him.

    Has there been anything more on Pernell McPhee, or are we waiting to see if the new defensive coordinator has someone else in mind?

    Probably waiting to see who the new DC wants to bring in and where. I've heard a couple of former players be mentioned. I've also heard about Taveze Calhoun for the CB coach. I know Taveze really wants that job but I doubt he'd get it. He's still a little too green to be a P4 position coach.

    I think it's going to be more of a not do what Arnett did and hire assistants and position coaches before the DC. I think after we have a DC agreed to in principle there will be some open conversations. Jamar Chaney at Houston and Pernell McPhee at Michigan would be two of my first calls, especially with rumors that Turner is thinking about stepping back into either an off-field or retiring altogether.

    Brent Pry is picking up a lot of steam. I feel pretty comfortable confirming now that we're decently far down the road with him. It would be a bit of a letdown if we can't get that one across the finish line.

    Don't forget his love affair with Freeze and Corral. Hell, I thought Corral might have been his illegitimate son.

    That’s my favorite as well. Odom just went 2-10 at Purdue

    There was a flight from Starkville to Blacksburg yesterday. It is probably nothing but interesting regardless
