re: So Briles stays at Arkansas

but the newly minted Miss State coach just fired his whole offensive staff in anticipation of Briles taking over the offense.

This is completely false. Some of the offensive staff was retained. Yes, we offered Briles, but his agent (Sexton) used it as leverage to get him more money at Arky. Briles was never that close to actually taking the OC job at State.
Also, Arnett is not going to run Leach's offense, so staff changes were needed.
