D.A.W.G Program?

[Burt Macklin, FBI]

Does anyone know what this D.A.W.G program is? It was in the graphics announcing Knox, Washington and Green hirings. It's the first I've heard of it.

Greg Knox, an SEC coaching veteran, was named the Director of Career & Professional Development by head coach Jeff Lebby on Dec. 5, 2023, and will be one of three staff members tasked with leading a new program called D.A.W.G.

D.A.W.G. stands for ‘Developing A Winning Game Plan’. The new program created by head coach Jeff Lebby is designed to show the commitment that Mississippi State has to ensure its current players find success on and off the field while also ensuring our former players know they always have a home at Mississippi State.

Here's the answer.

They didn't want to go with D.A.W.G.P.?

I like this. I'm been clamoring for a former player liaison/committee for a long time. It's very necessary, as evidenced by everyone dropping their high school rather than Miss State. Whatever this toxicity is, needs to be cleaned up.

I like this idea of giving some of the guys that are familiar with the state and the program these off-field roles. Really like it.

I've always thought that type of job would be great for Boobie. Seems like we'd had a program like this in place since the mid 2010s.

As I understood it, this is what Jay Perry was supposed to have been doing but......

I've wondered what the reality is with trying to keep former players involved with the program. I think a lot of fans look at our NFL guys and see the opportunity for big checks, but is that happening at all? I would be willing to bet that trying to keep former players close to the program is more of an expense than an income for most schools. A lot of them are entitled and probably think need to be wined and dined when they come back to campus.

I still hear those Russians in my head every time I see this.
