I need someone who knows to answer this for me: Did Arnett tell the Leach Offensive staff, ‘we are going in another direction’ and therefore they were ‘runt oft’, or did they get mad that Keenum choose Arnett, and leave on their own. I want an answer.

What you'll probably get is 20 different opinions because they "just know" how it happened - just because it didn't happen the way they wanted.
I got bad news for you buddy. Unless you are Arnett, Spurrier Jr, or Hollingshed you are not going to know the truth. There will be people on both side here that say that have intimate knowledge of what went down but normally that just is to bolster their agenda.
Doesn't matter if Arnett wanted to keep them. They would have been smart enough not to tie their reputation to a HC who wasn't ready. Arnett was put in a position to fail. But he got paid well doing it - so don't feel too bad for him. He will be fine.
The absolute truth is that the offensive staff was around Starkville long enough to understand the legend of the dead Indians. When Arnett’s first win as head coach was against a team called The Illini, they knew revenge would be swift & decisive and that it was time to move on lest they incur the wrath as well.
I don't know for sure but it's my understanding that he told them to find other positions because he was changing the offense. He wasn't a fan of the AR. A slow change or modification would have been the best way to go.
If I were an assistant I wouldn’t want to go job searching in January without being encouraged to look elsewhere.
He wanted to go to more of a ball control offense to keep the defense fresh. So he hired a guy to run the the 3 and Out offense
