Mississippi State has a lot of pieces to pick up and put together.

a DEVASTATING loss of our HC with a team full of system players and no Athletic Director.
i hope we have good people in place...this is a tough situation, and obviously one that is insignificant when compared to the devastation the Leach family is going through.

Looking back - I'm really happy he ended up getting an Egg Bowl win for his last one.
He'll be remembered going out on top in Starkville.
Dude is an absolute icon in college football.

Not to take away from losing Coach Leach - he's in a better place than all of us ...
But I think you have to just hire Arnett. We are in no place for a coaching search. Death of a sitting coach. No athletic director.
Arnett is probably not ready for an SEC job. I think you just have to give him a 4 year contract, try to keep the staff together and give him a couple years. If he doesn't work out, then you can do a proper search.
Mississippi State is set up for a big year next year. The schedule is favorable and lots of key pieces return.

Is there anyone on staff (offensive position coach) that could be elevated to OC?

Spurrier Jr is Pass Game Coordinator. He has the name and bloodlines, but I don't know.

That I don't know but... you could still hire Arnett and let him figure it out whether to promote or to go out and get another air raid disciple that has coached under him and others that brings a knowledge of what he did and others.

Possibly, but like I said in the other thread, you could do a proper OC search and get a big name with what we have coming back.
Will Rogers is (his average) season away from being the SEC's all time leading passer. That's a hell of a bullet on a resume for an OC who aspires to be a big time head coach.

I saw that after I posed the question to you here - that would obviously require a commitment to Arnett. So with no AD who makes the call to promote Arnett - school president, board of trustees, etc.?

Definitely a tough situation for y’all. Texas Tech and Washington State both basically completely collapsed after Leach left. I don’t think it’s possible to quickly rebuild when you’re trying to replace someone with that good of a football mind, with that specific of a system, with that strong of a likable personality. Your program is going to have a void for a while and I’m sure it’s going to feel off for everyone involved for a long time
