re: So what do we do coaching wise?

I know it seems soon to talk about this but my heart has been broken all morning over the Leach news and I just want to think about something different.

It can't be too soon. There is a time and a place. That's the unfortunate way of life today.

Fact is, recruiting will not end, nor the bowl game. MSU has to move forward.... that doesn't mean you leave behind Leach.

We have no AD. Do we let the interim AD do a big coaching search? Do we hire an AD first and let him do it? That’s question number 1.

You will have one within a week right? I thought I read MSU was conducting the final interviews this week.

Question 2. Who could we realistically get at this point that would be decent?

Some say promote our DC Arnett to HC for a year and reassess. Now he has proven to be a great DC but is only 36 years old with only 4 years as a coordinator. There’s a lot a head coach does that would be a big step for him with that little experience. Also you’d have to give him at 3-4 year contract. The 1 year idea would devastate recruiting. This is a high risk/high reward type hire. He would need to hire 2 good coordinators and once again, who is available?

If we go looking for a coach who is available?

---

Who ever you hire... They need to retain Arnett. His buy out is high for a reason.

He has the ears of the players too. recruits well.

Joe Judge - former Giants head coach, current QB coach at New England. Didn’t do great at the Giants but doesn’t mean much. He played at MSU and was a graduate assistant there. Could be a solid hire with NFL offensive experience that could do something with most of our offensive production returning, and NFL offense isn’t much different than the air raid. If Arnett would stay as DC I could see this working.

Who else could be a potential hire? I saw Kingsbury mentioned on the CC board but I’m not sure about that.

You would be foolish to move away from what Leach built. You go get a Leach tree guy. If not, you will have a alot of guys leave.

Every QB you have and are about to sign is there due to Leach and his system. They have all stated it's why MSU over others. Switch and some move on. And those guys are record breakers in HS.


Riley Lincoln if you can get him.
