Arnett to App State as DC (Update 2:30 PM 12/17 - now possibly to UNLV as DC)…
- Thread starter dawgstudent
- Start date
I expect him to do well. He was a good DC, and App State has talent relative to its competition.
He was a solid DC, which is why I was shocked at how bad we were in that regard last year.
You mean 23 or 24? He wasn’t our DC either year. In hindsight he obviously should have kept the offensive staff intact if he could, and focused almost all of his attention on defense. Should have used the same approach as Leach except reverse the roles - head coach that runs the defense and is completely hands off the offense.
This is what I’m excited about! How much more deadweight do we have on the MSU coaching salary teet?
Good. Now he can take off this goofy disguise he's been wearing.
He's a good DC. There was a reason Leach wanted him and thought he'd be a good promotion. His immaturity is what got him, he let our toxic fan culture permeate his brain.
Probably by $3.50. If I was Arnett, I would tell them to pay me the least amount possible and keep State on the hook.
I would tell them just to buy a huge Whole Life policy on me and when State was done paying, I would cash it out.
FootballScoop saying (I know, i know), Mullen trying to hire Arnett.
Damn - this is like Arnett to State all over again. He was "committed" to Syracuse.
So when Mullen comes back in 2027 - Arnett going to be our DC again.

Damn. We haven't even hired our coach for 2026 yet and you are predicting he's fired in 2027? That is pessimistic, even for a state fan.
You mean the HC and DC at Auburn right?** (maybe not?)
Too bad Don can't hire Slo Jo as his OC. We'd truly get a first for NCAA football. Three former head coaches at the same school now together on the same staff.
Great, now we’ll have to compete against UNLV at Mississippi high schools
Have Croom coach running backs and bring Jackie in a special teams advisor. It will be the infinity gauntlet of old MSU head coaches
Saw where Mullen is getting "only" $3.5M/year in a 5 year deal at UNLV. Would he have come back to State for a bit more than that? Or maybe a LOT more than that?

At the time we were looking for a coach, he got on a podcast and someone asked him about whether he’d go back. He made some statement about “never say never but i don’t see it”. He then hedged after that. It felt like a “yes, absolutely” to me when I heard it. I’m pretty confident he would’ve come back for what we are paying Lebby
