The question is, can Leach convince him to stay for a bit and build some more stock...

If Texas wants him, he'd be an idiot to stay.

Manny Diaz 2.0

Texas is a dying program. They've been through, what, 3 or 4 coaches since Mac Brown?

Herman is a good coach. He's going to show Texas is quicksand.

Not really. Manny Diaz liked the players he had here better.

That's a very bad example, Manny left us for Texas. Thanks for making my point. He never thought he would fail either. It's not like i want Arnett to leave. He's did a great job and his a nice guy. I've been around him numerous times in a casual setting.

Why? It's not like that job is a spring board to the NFL. Manny Diaz probably would have become a head coach more quickly if he had stayed here instead of detouring through La Tech, back to MSU and then to Miami.

I said it earlier, they have a better chance to win their league, thus a better chance to win a national championship, have more resources, better recruiting base etc etc. only state people w glasses on would disagree.

They have more resources- no one is debating that. But just because somewhere has more resources doesn't make it a better situation. A lot of bluebloods have internal issues. See Auburn.

With all of their resources- look at the kind of coaches that they are pulling. Herman came from Houston and we pulled Leach from a P5 school. Charlie Strong? And the guy that they just hired was a candidate for our job and we chose Leach over him.

I'm saying that sometimes it's better to wait than just jump at the first opportunity especially as a DC because those jobs come open much more frequently.

Arnett bought a farm here.

Arnett bought a farm here.

I hadn't heard that. But so did Vic. And I'm not saying he's leaving. Just pointing out, buying stuff that's an asset doesn't make one stay here. Or wherever.

Then call him an idiot. Texas has internal issues and he doesn't want any part of it, per people inside the building. He may be filling us full of shit but he's telling his peers here he isn't interested, just like Odom told them he wasn't interested and just like Muschamp told them he isn't interested. We upped his salary to 7 figures. Of course Texas could pay him more if they really wanted to but they aren't going to pay a DC ten times more than the going rate that is as inexperienced as Arnett. They will just move on to the next guy.

Shouldn't over pay him. Or anyone w his experience for that matter.
