re: Mississippi State hires Leach, Sark stays

From my understanding of the situation, Napier has turned them down twice, Chiz withdrew, and the Army and Air Force guys aren’t legitimate candidates. Sark and Grantham are really the only two realistic possibilities at the moment. I’m sure they are scrambling for other possibilities as they need this settled now because it’s starting to resemble UT’s last search fiasco.

It's just not a pretty situation to walk into. The roster, particularly on offense, doesn't look like something you'll be able to really make work from day 1, a big reason Moorhead got fired was apparently a bunch of inmates running the asylum type off field issues, and the fanbase still hasn't really come down off of the high from Mullen and remembered that 6-6 or 7-5 isn't that bad at State relative to their unfortunate program history. Walking into that is just begging to be on the hot seat going into year 3 after a couple of 4-8/5-7 type seasons.
