AU64 10,122 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 MSU has to be a tossup with Arky as the worst coaching job in the SEC ....and maybe even worse with it's proximity to bama. Anyone going there should want a long term contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Vandy the academics make it almost impossible to compete and with KY there is not a great recruiting pitch. We are a basketball school and we know it...

Anyone going there should want a long term contract. I'd say right now it is no toss up. Arkansas next year will probably go three years in a row without winning a sec game. Their talent level is the worst I've ever seen in my 30 years for a sec school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really would like to see them, OM and Arky be able to shake up LSU and Bama and TAMU a couple times a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkansas fans in particular have a very inflated opinion about their program's place in the pecking order. Also, Nashville would be a fantastic place to live while coaching football. And I find Lexington to be rather nice. Fayetteville's beautiful, but again with the expectations. Starkville is not beautiful, and again with the expectations. And like you said, Vandy and Kentucky have a couple more manageable outs on their SEC East schedules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgufcm 4,096 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 State is in a rough spot. Folks here in Mississippi seem pretty confident that it's a three-man finalist group (after Napier turned them down and Judge leveraged them to get the Giants to act faster): Grantham, Sark, and Brian Anderson. Whoever Cohen likes more in that group is going to get the job offer. Personal opinion, that is a horrible list. Grantham is a cartoon. He's like a crazier, less successful version of Will Muschamp, and rumors around here are that he wants Brian Johnson to come as his OC. That's brutal. Sark is essentially a bad version of Kiffin, which makes that the ultimate little brother hire. Then, you have Anderson. I mean, he's a lesser Larry Fedora. He peaked at 9-3 at Arkansas State four years ago and is a 7-5 metronome since then. Given that list, Sark is probably the best hire. Assuming he stays dry, he could do some good things every few years. He's no Mullen, but he's probably a small step up from Moorhead. If he brings Tosh Lupoi as a DC, that's a disaster, but on the whole, Sark is probably their best option at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgufcm 4,096 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 The comedy of Mississippi State and Ole Miss hiring two divorced, single-ready-to-mingle, alcoholic (or in Lane's case, potentially alcoholic) coaches is not lost on anyone. It could be a wild few years over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paladin 3,305 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Mike Leach has interviewed with Mississippi State. Mike Leach and Lane Kiffin battling it out in Mississippi would be worth the price of admission. I believe the interview occurred in Key West on a Pirate Ship.

Get a guy who has a system that can work even if you don't have the best players. Who knows if he will actually be successful but i like his chances and give props to State for thinking outside the box with this hire. The Air Raid is back in the SEC!
