If Arnett gets to 6 wins he’s not getting fired after one year. Which is not asking for him to do much at all and would still not be a good year. Just probably keeps him out of getting the one and done treatment.

That said, if you can’t win a measly 2 conference games in the SEC this year with a veteran team, sorry, can’t help you, congrats on your new gig as the defensive coordinator at Texas Tech


Were yall supposed to ve good this year?

I know yall have some players on the d line but I don't see thr talent.

How has Arnett recruited?

We start like 20 seniors including a four year starter at QB. We’ve definitely had more talented teams than this one, but there’s plenty there for this team to be good. We did lose a first round corner and our best pass rusher, so I can see why the defense might take a step back. But virtually the entire offense from last year returned intact, outside of a couple of WR’s but WR has not been the issue this year.

9 win team last year and returned a good bit of production. I can see why there might be some regression from Leach to a first year coach, but it should not be a major difference unless the guy is in over his head.

We have a senior 4th year starter at QB, senior RB, couple senior WRs, and 5 senior OL from a 9-4 team last season.

So yea on paper any less than 8-4 would be a pretty big failure

Jury is out on the recruiting. This is his first year to do that. He kept the recruits together last year but Leach's passing was so close to signing day and all the spots were taken, keeping them will be the trick through off season and this next year.

So, recruiting? We don't know but:


The current team returns almost everyone from a 9 win team last year. 20 of 22 starters are either seniors or super covid seniors.

This was going to be the Leach had a veteran team to see what he could do. No national title runs but surely a better showing than 95th in def and 99th in offense through 3 games.
