Yep. We don't have to love it, but it's far better than Hutzler...and considering Lebby's future isn't on solid ground, we weren't in a position of strength on new DC's.

He was good enough for us to hire him as DC, succeed, hire him again as HC, fail...then still he hired by Ole Miss, succeed, and be hired by Mullen, failed off the field...and now rehired by us as DC. The guy has succeeded more than he's failed as a DC by a long shot. This may not be as big of a win as some wanted (since delusional state fans thought we could get Durkin), but it's a win and an upgrade over the prior year. We took a step forward today firing Hutzler, and two steps forward hiring Arnett. Love it or hate it, it's true.

Now if it doesn't work, it doesn't matter bc we'll be getting a new HC anyway and Arnett will be gone too
