Marcello reporting Spurrier and Hollingshead are out

[karlchilders.sixpack]

You guys wanting Bumphis in, somebody had to go...

 

[Rupert Jenkins]

This offense certainly could improve. Im disappointed it's all getting blown up but it might be good. I thought Arnett might leave it the same tho or at least not totally change it. Typically coaches bring in people that they know or feel comfortable with, relationships made thru their career. Change is never certain tho. I have seen a lot of crappy coaches come and go here. Usually very unsuccessfully

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

Some of the coaches who were close to Leach may simply want to start fresh somewhere else as well. I'm sure there are a lot of tough emotions there.

Don’t bring common sense to this discussion

 

[Trojanbulldog19]

Supposedly turner might be coming back. Given then guys he put in the nfl I'd be okay with that.

Washington and Phelps are gone too

 

[THE Bruce Dickinson]

Really ?

if Miller is gone then this A completely different coaching staff and program with no continuity

Hearing Miller will be one of if not the only offensive coach retained

 

[Perd Hapley]

Yea, some guys won’t fit in a Briles offense, the young lineman were all hand picked to be pass blockers in the air raid.

Some guys are no longer going to fit no matter what we do. There is no plug and play Mike Leach replacement out there. Whoever we get is going to run a much different system even if it still features some of the familiar concepts of the Air Raid. Things like the wide OL splits, for example, were a Leach specialty that no one else does.

Hey, if it's an improvement I will be happy. We all know Arnett has a big pair and he is letting them drag. I am a State fan first.

 

[BoDawg.sixpack]

I don't think those coaches leaving was ever not going to happen after the skipper departed. We could stand a fresh pair of eyes in our scheme anyway.

Why is this weird? Again, it would be weird if there weren’t wholesale changes.

Because the consensus was that CZA was hired to ease the transition so not to expect a whole lot of changes. I did expect a couple or so but we're looking at wholesale changes here so the company line by the so called experts was complete BS. I'm gonna agree w/sizzle. If there were going to be mass changes, why didn't we conduct a search and hire the best person for the job instead of taking the easy way out? Late in the process for some of these guys to have something else lined up.

 

[TXDawg.sixpack]

I’m hearing the OC is going to be Riley from TCU...announced the day after the NC game…

Modified Air Raid guy with ties to the Leach coaching tree.

Could be BS, but I’d be happy with it.

That is probably the result of not having an AD in place. an experienced AD who has been around programs being built and rebuilt would probably be guiding these moves with some advice or guard rails.

as you stated, either go with continuity or have a real search.

 

[Rupert Jenkins]

Garrett Riley would be pretty awesome. I kinda doubt he is leaving TCU to come here for the same title. It's possible but highly unlikely

 

[Dawg1976]

You would think Riley would stay put at TCU waiting on his call for a HC job. Just don't see him as a possibility.

He was named HC just a couple of days before signing day. It wasn’t done to necessarily keep a coaching staff together as much as it was to keep a signing class in tact.

Why is it so hard for you to get past what was said three weeks ago? That was 21 news cycles ago.

 

[chuckster.sixpack]

Lol, yea.

its insane to Just tear down everything Leach had built. If it takes you back to 5-7 in a year or two, Arnett will be the d c somewhere else and we will be starting all over again.

You act like a few coaching changes means MSU is going to the wishbone.

Turnover is the norm in college football. It doesn’t mean a complete overhaul is imminent.

 

[8dog]

What was so special about this offense that some staff turnover will hurt?

 

[Anon1669338224]

This is all about taking a step forward, and I'm all for that.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

I hope it just means they know their guy and he is going to bring some of his own guys with him

Brady said Gronk is coming too???

 

[SchrodingersDawg]

Nothing.

I'm in this camp too.... I'm concerned about wholesale changes after the moves we made but, I'm also skeptical that CZA really makes wholesale changes because it isn't in his best short term interest. Changing a few coaches doesn't necessarily mean we're throwing out a system it can just mean we're getting different guys to run it. There are obviously going to be some changes but I don't expect them to be as great as some suggest.
