Charlie doing work? I didn’t think this was much of a possibility entering the season:
Crumedy returning..
- Thread starter 57stratdawg
- Start date
Enough of these guys back and Arnette may not want to leave. Hail 17 yeah!
That's called family. It's dedication. Those guys could have gone pro. But they wanna do something special for Miss State
What's even more astounding is that these guys are returning to a university that has major attendance issues. But I'll take it.
He said in his Egg Bowl post game he was gonna play for State next year. You could hear how pumped he was though so I didn’t put too much stock in it. So glad he’s back. He’ll make a huge difference.
Word going around that Leach has built an incredible culture that the players love being a part of.
I’ve thought about this a lot. How many defensive coordinators don’t have to put up with any crap from the head coach? I’ve never even seen Leach talk to him during the game. He has complete autonomy. As long as the pay is good, why would you leave for anything but a head coaching job?
I don't even think I've heard Leach mention Arnette by name in any of his interviews. Complete opposite of the situation when Mullen was here.
Keep giving. This is a tangible ROI.
So that puts the 2 deep in place on the DL. Crumedy, Pickering, Russell, and word is Davis.
Steve Robertson blows a lot of smoke, but he made a very candid and interesting remark to Bo Bounds the other day about Arnett’s future.
Said in order to get the right HC opportunity, he may need to have success as a DC at one more school.
I don’t think he’s wrong.
Not happening.
Regardless of what people think, NIL isn't the ONLY factor. When it's time to go to the NFL, you go. It's time for Forbes.
I know NIL money is a factor in getting these guys back but I feel sure that they would be financially better off to go to the league now. You know Crumedy and Bookie would get drafted and not way late. I think they like where they are and the NIL keeps them from struggling. Of course another year might get them a higher draft slot. I do believe it's a good culture and a family atmosphere. Also Arnett said in an interview that Leach came and spoke to him one time during a game and that he was very surprised because Leach never comments. He has complete autonomy.
He really rarely mentions the defense at all….good or bad. Postgame interviews after losses are always “receivers didn’t this, QB missed a read here, etc.”. He seems to legitimately view Arnett as the head coach of the defense.
