Arnett is much worse than that, Odom would have the good sense to have a good OC and run a program, Arnett was getting led round by a 6a high school coach
He's had some good oc's. I would rather a head coach that knows offense. It's always worked better here when the coach knows offense

How many DC’s did Mullen have? With a defensive coach, we’ll have to hire a new OC every 1-2 years. We’ve found it’s harder to hire competent OC’s at State. I don’t want Lebby, mainly because his offense is the flavor of the month in the SEC, but at least we’d be consistent from year to year (if it works).

I agree , I’d much rather have an offensive HC for sure, but Odom is a pretty decent coach. There are good HCs that have a defensive background, just not as many and a Defensive coach isn’t as good of a fit here. Odom would be a safe hire and get the program to 7-5 IMO.

This is why I don't want a defensive coach like Odom or Sumerall. You make the wrong OC hire and you suck on offense all year.
Getting a Defensive coach would be the worst move in the history of Mississippi State football! We just failed miserably with a defensive hire. Now we’re going to get another defensive guy? We should after a coach with an exciting offense. Defense can be found with a solid DC. Our head coach needs to be offensive minded that gets exciting playmakers on O.

Ya know there is a possibility that if we had hired a better OL coach than the 2 lovers we hired Barbay might not have completely sucked a$$. This line is terrible at pass blocking and not much better at run blocking. Would you trust this line if you were back there ? I don't know how you ruin a line with 4 returning senior starters that have played together 3 years but Friend and Schmidt can tell you. What a dynamic duo.
