Given how things went down it feels like they should’ve let him finish the season

How they didn't hire an offensive mind after Leach passed away was super weird

Because of timing of Leach’s death, they should have put the Interim tag on Arnett.

Hindsight 20/20 though

If your team loses and then the winning team fires their coach, that's a bad sign.

And waited until we had an AD. We'll see what Selmon is made of now.

2 games left. Both home games vs in-state rivals. Gotta do something to hopefully fire up the current players enough to put forth more effort and play with passion. This teams has looked checked out the past couple of weeks.

Y'all couldn't let him finish out the season though? Everyone knew he probably wasn't ready to take of an SEC program, but he stepped into a horrible situation. I figured he'd get to finish out the season at least.

Not that there's a good time for a coach to pass away, but happened at a really bad time. It was late in a heavy coaching change cycle and in the heart of recruiting season. I think MSU was just trying to hold the class together.

And just because someone is an offensive mind, it doesn't mean that they would do well with Leach's team. He builds his team to fit his offense. You see now that Will Rogers was nothing without Leach(QBs have ALWAYS overperformed in his offense).

I don't blame them with giving him a chance given the circumstance.

You can't recruit with an "interim" tag.

You convert a hurry up, air raid offense and try to convert it to a power run team should have been fired before the season started. Or better yet, not hired at all. I knew it was a disaster when it happened. Lazy and emotional hire.

Yep, and good. When the guy that beats you by 40 gets fired, you are next.

yeah honestly your hand is pretty much forced at that point. There's a massive amount of disrespect there.

Waiting only puts you a month behind in hiring the replacement.

State and Arnett got dealt a bad hand, no doubt, but we can’t let coach leach’s death put us behind the eight ball a second time.
