If there’s one thing we can learn from the recent NCAA investigation it’s that we are in dire need of a new compliance director. Nothing against Bracky Brett personally, but he is in way over his head.

quote:

In today’s day in age SEC schools hire lawyers and former NCAA investigators to run their compliance departments. We have the former Starkville High School football and baseball coach.

There are people who say, ‘what is holding back MSU’s recruiting?’. Well, it’s our compliance department.

When you have Barney Fife following you around to see if you commit the slightest violation so he can quickly report to the NCAA, it doesn’t make things easier that’s for sure. When you have a year-long investigation into your football program for some petty violations that should have never even seen the light of day, you are recruiting with one hand tied behind your back.

Maybe Bracky Brett was a fine choice when one Larry Templeton hired him. Not now. Not when all the other schools are hiring big guns to man theirs. It’s time for Scott Stricklin to re-assign him within the athletic department and spend some money on someone who will end up saving us money in the long run.

Right now we are skating on thin ice as a potential repeat offender for the next 7 years. Now is the time to make a change for the better. We need to stay out of trouble and have a clearer path to recruit on a more competitive level. Get out of the way MSU compliance – become part of the solution, not the problem.

well damn

So, they're saying that MSU hired the one guy in the world that actually intends to do his job as a compliance director?

When Mullen came from Florida,several Florida fans spoke of his inability to recruit well, said he was much more of an X's and O's guy. I think he has finally started to hire recruiters on his staff though.

But wait, I thought they were dominating instate crootin because we were only focused on the flashy, sexy picks while Mullen and Co used their powers of super evaluation to find all the hard working, grind [ON], all heart, gym rat, film buff type kids who were flying under the radar and unranked/under-ranked and just needed a year to become Balis made and Mullen Coached?

Letting Brewster go to Florida State was a huge mistake. His whole "hire recruiters" standpoint has taken a major blow.

Brewster took a better job. The only way he could've kept Brewster was to promote him to OC and give him an OC's pay.

I don't think anyone ever thought Brewster was more than a hired gun. Gonzales has a solid recruiting track record, as well as a long professional relationship with Mullen so I doubt he bolts. Melvin Smith has probably been MSU's recruiting MVP for a long time, but Townsend will be a solid replacement.

So many of us worshipped Brewster though, he would come in amped the phuck up for the Bulldog Walk and he'd come through like a raging bull chest bumping dudes along the way, just going nuts it was so awesome!

But you're right he was there as a temporary fixture.

Coach Brew.

Brewster didn't have the chest for MSU Compliance.

Did he wear his hat backwards and wave a towel? If no, he didn't do it right.

No, the reason Dan can't recruit is because he's a jackass who coaches in a shitty town and can't keep his assistants around long enough to make a difference. Blaming Bracky (the frick kind of first name is that anyway?) is the lamest thing I've seen all day.

This State blog just needs to accept it and move on: nobody likes Merlens Noel anymore, especially not recruits.

Exactly, at the end of the day, through all their wishes and hopes for it to be different, they are Mississippi State. No other explanation needs to be given.

We have been saying for years that Backy needed to go. Does Bjorkedlvsfjrts or Pete Boone go around tracing VIN numbers on their fricking campus

No. They aren't / weren't compliance directors.

State fans have never really liked Bracky, but he isn't the reason that Mullen can't recruit.

I do believe he's one of the only compliance directors in the SEC without a background/degree in law.
He has a PE degree I believe.
