Does Sirmon come back next year?

[Fighting Irish.sixpack]

I say no.

 

[Shamoan]

I hope not. We struggled vs Miami Ohio, byu, south Alabama, umass, and kentucky. At best, next year should be a slightly better tasting **** sandwich. Time to cut bait, but I bet he is back. It's way easier to do nothing than face the fact that we are statistically one of the worst teams defensively in the country.

 

[Snog]

You forgot Samford.

 

[Shamoan]

Damn...worse than I remember.

 

[57stratdawg]

We won't fire him.

 

[Dawg1976]

Maybe some idiot hires him away from us.

 

[BulldogBlitz]

Absolutely yes. We is po ol missppi state and this da best we's can do.

 

[CoastDawg18]

I don't see him getting fired. Definitely not getting hired away. He is our man in 2017.

 

[patdog]

I hope not. Worst defense in MSU history. And that's saying a lot.

 

[Mayor of Little London]

Meant to thumbs up(APR) that

 

[KurtRambis4]

I want to

give him the benefit of the doubt, just being Y1, but GD our schemes and gameplans were terrible many times this year.

 

[MaroonNation]

Maybe he can go to night school or something and figure this **** out by next year.***. Hell let him hang with Starkville High's DC for a week or two.

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

We played a lot of 4 man front today...

But our DL got whooped 9 out of 10 plays....

 

[Bneal]

The soft zone is Mullen's. Always has been and always will be. It's a big problem because it's beyond soft, it's Swiss cheese. Not having a pass rush doesn't help that. We didn't blitz twice today. We don't stunt on DL either. We did at the egg bowl. Played man at the egg bowl. Doesn't make any sense to me.
If we are getting faster next year we may improve a lot. This D is slow like I haven't seen before. R. Brown got slower as the season went on.

 

[Philly Dawg]

I've lost count of the DC's that have come through Starkville, but all played conservatively. That is Mullen.

Sirmon may be terrible and need to go but that won't change. He doesn't mind giving up some points and yards but doesn't want to concede big plays.

 

[philduckworth]

There's no way we can keep him so yes, he will be back.

 

[gymdawg.sixpack]

Sending 3 linemen on nearly every play, playing richie "concrete shoes" brown in zone coverage, amd the lack of blitzes us on sirmon. Dude cant scheme. I hope he goes, but i doubt dan has the nuts.

 

[TheStateUofMS]

I say yes, so we can at least see what continuity looks like. He's going to have a lot of differ players next year, and surely we cannot get any worse.

 

[bulldogbaja]

We got worse in every game this season, so imagine what he can do with an entire off-season...

 

[Hoover Dawg]

Of course he does. He deserves a chance to do something with older and better players. Most times an influx of competition makes a world of difference.

How can you blame the anal raping pretty much every wide receiving corps we played this year, put on our DBs, on the coach?? It was a total lack of talent or maturity or something. They were downright bad.

 

[KurtRambis4]

I didn't follow

us very closely this year, due to other factors, but can you explain this?

Much of this is due to the positioning they had him in this 3-4 ****.
