- Thread starter CEO2044
- Start date
I like it.
(Especially the part where I don't feel compelled to read a LOT of pontificating on it here)
Just heard that on Finebaum. Some will think it is a knee jerk decision but I'm for it.
Hey....that was a good idea. Hopefully he makes Steve his OC now and they backfill those spots and we roll on
I think that he is a good bet, and this is the right move. He's seen exactly how Leach handled Offense and left him alone/supported him. He can do the same for an OC.
Let's go!
ETA: First State head football coach born after me. Anyone else old?

Nah, we don't need Spurrier running the offense.
We'll see. That's a scary thought.
BOOM! Thank you Keenum and Bracky for making the obvious, and the RIGHT....decision.
Happy for him. Had to be the move we made- glad to go ahead and do it though.
I just don't understand this. Have you had anyone on staff tell you he's not qualified or just basing it on he's a 50 y/o with no coordinator experience?
I wish you would explain what you have against Spurrier. He was Leach right hand man, tons of experience, and had to pick up a few things from the fun and gun. I think you are bad wrong. This guy has been coaching in bowl games since 1995. He knows offense.
Many people say this with no explanation. What exactly is the deal?
I presume they're worried about tossed visors.
I can’t speak for cooter. My opinion comes from discussions with S Carolina people. They were not fans at all.
Has the 24 hours expired where we can speak of this? ***
They see how poorly Leach did at developing offensive coaches throughout his career and assume the he just let a slacker hang around out of respect for his daddy.********************************
I'm thrilled! Arnett was a Leach gamble that seemed to be paying off. Keenum is gambling too. The best decision in my view. Let's hope it pays off.
They were not fans of daddy Spurrier at the end of his tenure. I wonder it that has something to do with it?
It's risky but what's not.
I like arnett. Hope it works out.
seems like an emotional rushed decision though not waiting to see how he did in the bowl game.
too worried about losing players.
least experienced coach in the SEC now. This could be great or a big whoops.

Love ZA and think this is definitely the right move for the immediate future. Just shows what a cruel business this is though, that any move at all needed to be made less than 48 hours after CML passes...
It's not likely to happen. And there's a chance to get Bump back in town if Spurrior doesn't hang around. I think there could be some changes. I think we grab a Leach guy as OC. Feel like that's already in the works but I wasn't sure if Arnett was going to be the guy for sure either. Just was a lot of smoke.
The alternative is a rebuild, right? We'd possibly burn another 2-3 years. I think this is best. Arnett deserves it. Hail State!
Not who you're replying to, but I don't want Spurrier simply because I'm concerned about having a first time playcaller on offense to go with a first time head coach. It's possible he's actually handled play calling and done plenty of things for Leach that will make Arnett comfortable that he is ready, but looking from the outside, it seems like he'd be better served having an experienced playcaller.
