Strike 1 Arnett
- Thread starter Other Kind
- Start date
We need to go for someone with less mileage. At least I would like someone with less baggage. I wasn't thrilled with Briles. JMO
Meh rather him go for it then not, but first lesson as a young head coach. Sec and sexton plays big boy ball off the field. Got to be able to play the game if you want it bad enough.
Kliff would be a great hire and a big splash. He killed it in college, esp as the OC. His last 2 years at TT were not too good. Hatcher has never been at a big school but he has won national championships and always has a strong offense. Probly get him for less than a million too.
That's a huge drop off to go from nfl hc to college oc. I don't see him humbling himself for that
The OC at Duke would be interesting as well.
Now a weird thought, Morehead. No one would go for it, but he was a much better OC than HC. His head coaching background could help a smidge for Arnett as well. He also brought in a little talent as well. He knows Mississippi kind of.

Kliff wouldn’t even take our HC job for 7+ mil a year.
Mike Tomlin or Kyle Shanahan would also both be awesome. Let's put them on the list
Sexton did not get Briles more money than we offered to stay at Arkansas. He got him a raise, but less than we offered. MRS Briles said $2 mil ain’t nearly enough to move to Starkville, Ms. can’t say I blame her. Public school sucks and no Target.
You’re not wrong. I love Starkville but I can see that from an outside perspective of a millionaire with options, Starkville would have to be low on the list of places to live.

Probably wouldn’t hurt if we had, you know, like someone who directs athletic business decisions to help with big hires. Guess you could call him a director of athletics or something.
Eh. Considering he was a college OC who became an NFL head coach it’s possible.
Almost similar to a certain Joey Freshwater who went as far down as offensive assistant/Saban school and then OC again…
Joe Max really needs to get on the ball to get that Target here…
If we had gotten his first choice and it wasn’t someone like Briles, people would have accused us of settling and not swinging for the fences.
It’ll be fine. Briles is a good OC but he’s not the only good OC.

A big name is not as important on me as good resume, even if is limited. We aren't marrying this person and we really want someone that will cut their own way through the SEC. UT and OK are on the way. I would like a guy who is open for creating something of his own but isn't afraid to use what we have to get started. I'm asking for a lot but I would rather take a chance on newer promising face over a predictable retread
Their biggest attribute needs to be that they're not afraid of $hite.

Well its either college OC or NFL position coach. He is unlikely to get an NFL OC job based on what he put on the field as a HC, nor is he getting a college HC job after the Texas Tech debacle. He had tons of weapons and yet had a completely dysfunctional offense in Arizona for the better part of 3 seasons.
I think you have to go vintage from the grave houndstooth hat right? Or maybe an Elvis style hair look for zombie Bear?
Wait…so message board rumors that didn’t pan out means Arnett “swung and missed”?
Damm ya’ll are quick to judge…!

I think as far as Arizona is concerned they are gonna find out it's more about Kyler than it is Kliff. I'm glad Zach went big. I just hope he has a strong second and third choice. This could turn into a major disaster if it drags on too long or Zach makes a bad decision
I think our fans are insane. In this thread we have multiple people thinking we can pull Kliff Kingsbury, then in the same thread we have a poster saying we should bring back Moorhead in an OC role. Good Lord.
