I personally think Arnett is gone even if he makes a bowl game. If he ends up winning 8 or 9 games, I be wrong. Less than that he is gone. I just think he was a bridge hire until the New AD came on board and hired his own.
Gotta go with 1- USM.
Agree except Arnetts fate has been long since decided and got cemented on Saturday.
Its past time we get rid of coaches after a year on the job just because the entire fan base isn't happy. State wont ever compete, if we keep changing head coaches...
Wait.....you saying you think we're going to fire him? Because I'd bet my house there's no way that happens, at this point.
I’m saying the opposite. 0% chance he is fired now. Maybe a 10% chance before Saturday, but 0% now.
I'm glad for the Arky win but I'm afraid you're right. For some reason it feels like being put on probation.
I would be impressed with Selmon if he actually fired Arnett after going to 7-5/6-6. I doubt he does though. Hell, is it even his decision?
I just don't think there's anyway we will fire him if he wins 6 games. I wouldn't fire him and I think we look like a poorly coached team. I don't think we'll fire him if he goes 5-7 although I would want to at 5-7.
I think if we lose to USM and get blown out by Ole Miss he'll get fired. I agree with you I don't think that will happen and getting to five probably guarantees he stays. But if we look like crap in every game and barely beat USM? I think getting fired even with 5 wins is at least on the table then; presumably would depend on whether people with the money to pay the buyout would be gung ho about firing him.
I went with 2-3. I don't feel good about any game remaining except for USM, and I'm pretty close to 50/50 between 1-4 and 2-3, but I think Auburn and Kentucky are bad enough that we have a good chance of grabbing one of them even if we won't be favored in either. I don't think A&M and Ole Miss are out of upset range although they are close.
I’m not sure Arnett is still here if leach is alive.
If we lose to USM, all gets are off. But we’ll win that game by 20 points if we play like crap. We’ll win by 40 if we play well. They’re that bad.
If anything, we have held on to coaches for too long. We have settled for mediocrity when it is obvious a move needs to be made. Keeping Arnett at this point, is only delaying the inevitable. If there are 5+ coaches in the conference that would take over your current coach there is no way to expect to compete going forward. With Texas and OK coming in, the path gets harder, and we can't afford to keep kicking the can down the road.
If your standard for Mississippi State football coaches is NY6 bowls, you will bd eternally disappointed. Seriously, you should find another team to support. Because it’s never going to happen with any consistency here.
Arnette's fate is already set in stone.....he'll be here in 2024
I'd be good with this after all we've been through. Keep the bowl streak alive and we haven't been to the Big Ham town in quite awhile. B'ham and Memphis are the closest venues for our fans to travel to.....and not terribly expensive.
