Today helped or hurt Arnett’s case to return next year?
- Thread starter 57stratdawg
- Start date
It helped bc he will be at 5 wins at least. He now might get another year.
We put ourselves on self imposed probation today
He was always going to get another year.
I just want him to learn from his coaching mistakes and he made several today, get better, and win.
Not with me he didn't. Beating a demoralized team who lost 5 in a row scoring only 7 points.
That's beyond pathetic. The main reason is because we won due to Thomas not getting set!

We lined up to go for it on fourth when we hadn’t all game and the only thing I could think of was “Orgeron 2007 Egg Bowl 2.0. He’s digging his own grave”.
The decisions he made to take delay of game penalties twice on fourth and short on their side of the field, and then to decide to go for it on fourth down in the second half while up 7-3 on our side of the field, is asinine coaching. He got bailed out by a very questionable flag for a WR false start/not set penalty on us, otherwise we lose this game on that one coaching decision alone. If he doesn’t make a bowl game this year especially considering how many returning starters he had, he should be fired for sure.

Our problems are deeper than and more systemic than the HC
Regardless about Arnett this win had to help the mental stability of the team. Defense played their *** off. Arkansas average 22 a game and our defense held them to three and they needed help with a turnover to get those three. I just want Arnett and the coaching staff to improve each game.
Push. In 2008, Croom beat a bad Arkansas team and I thought he saved his job. Then we all know what happened next week in the Egg Bowl.
He strikes me as a person who has a very limited potential to learn very much.
It didn't hurt his chances of returning. It's an SEC "W" and scores don't count unless you have wager.
We had an AD with balls (can I say that here?) then.
“Brilliant tactician” is not the first thing that comes to mind
Two or three more years of mediocrity and he will be gone
He needs to be gone regardless. In true MSU fashion, he’ll win 5 and get another year.
What would change my opinion? Any life whatsoever on the recruiting trail.
I just watched two south Alabama studs play against each other last night and both are going to auburn.
I’m going to keep saying it. IDGAF what you think of him, he’s reeling in talent and I’m seeing it first hand.
Well they did call a petty foul on us too on a td
I honestly don't believe I've ever seen an SEC team as ready to lose a game as Arkansas was today . I'm aware they're not a good team but that team laid down.
I think that’s the case. Let him get his jucos in here and it should set the tone for the next 3-4 years.
Even holding a bad team to 3 points is a damn good job. I haven't seen our guys play that hard all year. When you consider the short field we gave them for their only 3 points it's even more impressive.
I really wish we'd given our other backs some touches today, especially after Marks went down early. He never should have come back in.
Helped. The team today can beat auburn. The team first 6 games no. And that's mostly based on defensive improvement.
Surprised you asked. He was coming back even if he went 3-9, Regardless, this does give us a remote shot at a bowl.
I’m going to disagree there. I think Arkansas was the easiest win and Auburn is a bad matchup.
Maybe so but Arkansas has played close games against everyone. Auburn not so much. Auburn has played a very similar season to us
I wish Pittman would have gotten in. He needs the snaps but he probably wasn't 100% either. The Freshman looked good what few plays in got in.
Freeze will kick Arnett’s *** at home. No question. This is his personal Super Bowl.
Defense may have improved, but it’s hard to tell because arky was so bad. I’m leaning toward these guys can’t coach a lick if this game represents 2 weeks of practicing to improve on weaknesses. I’m not sure what they practiced offensively…
I think they game plan was ball control runnin game. Very much like Florida in 2010 with Relf. We really limited the playbook today and decided to keep on on the ground s lot and only throw when we needed to. To keep the defense off the field.
