Arnett... maybe

Don’t know about that, but first time I went to Vegas I remember driving down the strip and the temp said 123. That garbage about “dry heat” is BS, so even if it were true I might give him a pass.
Question and debate the hire, sure
but please stop with the disgrace/Wendy’s rumor. It’s not true. He left because Dan is a dick and was telling him how to run his defense and he figured it wasn’t going to work, so he left.
I can’t wait for the HBO miniseries on the life of Arnett, especially for the scene in late 2026 when he and Mullen meet in the Starkville Wendy’s parking lot to stare each other down. Then they split a baconator and embrace

Wait, so we hired him and now we have to rewrite history ? lol
No. It’s an underwhelming hire imo but the Wendy’s story is an unfair false attack on his character and our fanbase doesn’t need to partake in it
Does no one realize they are Bringing back the guy who really blew up the program ? This is not going to end well. The good ol boy boosters are doubling down on the 2023 disaster.
You know he’s not the HC, right?
ya , given the history here and at unlv, bad idea. Won’t end well
Annette was a good DC for us. I have no problem with this
as far as the Wendy’s thing goes, since when is one required to wear clothes in their vehicle? It’s HIS VEHICLE

May not, but he’s better than hiring Bama’s waterboy hoping he turns out ok.
Just getting things in line for him to succeed Lebby after next season. **
I can see it, will work cheap and the same boosters who hired his staff last time already have their guys lined up
3 Reasons Why Disappointment Is Good - Personal Excellence
This is part 1 of a 4-part series on how to deal with disappointment.
Everyone that has been around college football for the last 15 years clearly understand that Dan is a dick. That should not have been a grand revelation to Arnett after being hired.
This statement is really all that needs to be said. We all agree on this point.
So, the obvious question that must be asked….if the coach you decided to retain after 2 disastrous seasons has you in this spot where he can’t get legitimate help because he’s a dead man walking, then where was the real 17 up in this entire scenario?
Not arguing that but promises made in hiring aren’t followed through once hired. Telling Arnett to change schemes made him say, ya know, not for me
I know that isn’t a home run, but I’m surprised by the negative reaction. Yes, he was basically arrogant in throwing away an offense built for an air raid scheme and hiring and an inexperienced offensive coordinator, but that was him not being ready to be a head coach.
He seems like a decent DC?
He seemed fine with that when he was head coach, at least on offense.
Yea. And he replaced the assistants, like Mullen did. Both were the HC in those situations and their decisions, wrong or right.
Again, debate the merits of the hire, fine, but the Wendy’s/disgrace line is false and wrong
A decent DC would convince a HC that time of possession is key to the defenses success.
I trust Leach’s judgement on Arnett. Before Arnett Leach had like a 3 hour call with Arnett talking about anything and everything. That was how Leach vetted his coordinators, and decided he was ok. He was a good DC back then and suspect he will do so again. No one should consider his HC tenure when trying to predict the future - apples and oranges.
Coach Arnett is a likeable guy, and I wish him nothing but the best. But, this hire just seems like one more moment where the fanbase is getting jerked around this football season.
^This tells it all. When it all boils down is Arnett a better DC than Hutzler. Hell yes and it's not even close. We will be way better on D. Period.
Many have no idea how bad and how bad a hire Huntzler was. You don't hire a guy who has NEVER called or controlled his own defense to be a DC in the SEC. Maybe the worst hire in MSU history.

Yeah. Lebbys assistant hires have been abysmal. Last DC had never even been a full Position coach before. This one couldn’t find a coaching job the last 2 years. His first game September will be his first game since we fired him.
To me the biggest mistake was keeping Hutzler another year. Cool you made a bad hire but deciding to keep him another should not have happened.
Thing that worries me is Putz attribute was as recruiter. And we need 2 DL’s to compete in Arnetts D complimenting Lebby’s low TOP O. Somebody got to get players. He better find some top flite recruiters or this won’t end well.
True. We run the polar opposite. And when a few minutes of ball control would’ve beat Texas our coach refused. ZA will not have near the talent up front this time, and he didn’t do much to bring them in last time. This looks like a disaster waiting to happen. At least, it would get rid of Lebby. But I don’t expect we get that far anyway.
I like it for no other reason than the cult of lunatics hate it.
Could you imagine black vinyl seats on a bare tush and you know your nut sack is making contact.
