    This is a horrible decision by Lebby.
    At some point, you will have to come to grips with the fact that msu did not fire Leach and Arnett did not hire himself. It's really a sad look.

    It is a sad look. For MSU football.

    Todd isn't alone. I'm adamantly against this hire too. Just not as vocal. Can it work? Maybe. I'm at least hopeful, but giddy and excited this dipshit is back? **** no!

    Which means in some crazy what if scenario if we had kept Arnett as DC when Lebby came we would probably be 8-4 this year. Arnett is a legit DC.
    Disagree. This is not underwhelming. Arnett is a damn good DC. We would be 8-4 or 9-3 with him this year.

    My only fear is Arnett has been out of the trenches for a couple of years. What will his intensity be like...

    No, it is underwhelming bc guys like Pry and Wilcox were in the mix. But, yes, Arnett is good DC. I do not hate it. That is KB and Todd.

    No we wouldnt. We didnt have the dudes on defense.

    Arnett has proven he is a solid DC. This hire will be decided in the portal. It's as simple as that
    Walk like the King or walk like you don't care who the King is

    "Zach is one of the brightest defensive coaches in all of college football," Leach said in a statement. "Having been mentored by Rocky Long during his successful time at San Diego State, Zach understands what it takes to build and run an elite defense."

    I'll also say that I think this is an extremely questionable hire. I just don't think that it's ever a good idea to rehire a guy who was previously fired to come back and work for the guy who replaced him, at least not just 2 years later, and definitely not when the guy has had some ... mental health struggles? in the interim period.

    However, I've already given up on Lebby as a head coach for us, so it's just confirming my prior opinion that he's in over his head.

    Yep. And that's really the case for any competent DC we hire.

    This is where I am. I'm actually coming around to it, but that's probably just acceptance. My mistake was getting caught up in the exciting names that were on our "list". I'm glad we way overpaid for BOC, or we'd probably be looking at the head coach from Eastern Illinois.

    You have to separate Arnett the DC from Arnett the HC.

    Arnett the HC was a god awful HC and in so far over his head it was not funny.

    Arnett the DC was very good and did a whole lot with a lot of nothing.

    He didn't have "a lot of nothing". He had Martin Emerson, Emmanuel Forbes, and Decamerion Richardson at CB. He had Erroll Thompson, Jett Johnson, and Bookie Watson at LB. He had Jaden Crumedy, Cameron Young, Marquis Spencer, Tyrus Wheat, Randy Charlton up front. Of those, Randy Charlton was the only one that got recruited by that staff. Everyone else was inherited.

    I mean is he paying me a lot of money? Do I get to see his miserable face everyday having to deal with the crazy heifer instead of me? Where's the downside? Lol
