State fans seem very excited at this news for some reason. 

If Leach comes with him, it's very bad. The idea of watching years of air raid with a bad roster, I'm not sure it could get worse.

Why would Leach come with him? This is a very dumb theory that people bring up as if the AD and HC are a married couple.

Not really a theory, just a personal fear!

I’m not if good or bad tbh. I don’t like the last couple hires at MSU but at the same time they have been pretty good by MSU standards. The baseball team is top notch. He knows how to run a power 5 program. And experience in SEC. We could do way worse.

Was he mentioned by all the insiders?

His name was mentioned mid last week NY a few places. Believe here too

[DAG 33,977]

I feel at the very least he would go out the box to get a coach 

[AUwent 3,748]

Do we have any source that MSU wants him out? Their athletics programs seem to be doing well right now, as @DAG mentioned.

Also, who would he go after at HC?

Looks like Grimes isn’t the front runner any longer

Fans are fickle it’s funny. But it is what it is.

Seems like as good a choice as any. I’m not sure why people have such strong opinions on who would be good in an AD role.

Ok, then who? Hopefully not Helton?

Yeah, I have no idea what to think. If MSU fans weren't wanting him gone I'd def be ok with it.

If it's him I hope he goes after Deion and makes him say no!

On the surface it seems fine.

Idk what has been doing on NIL. That's probably #1.

Haven't they expanded or enhanced their stadium recently? Also a plus

Hartwell seemed to be connected to Grimes since he tried to hire him once before.

No idea if there is a front runner at the moment since Cohen came out of nowhere

I would assume NIL is dependent on donors and the school more than the AD. Not sure about stadium expansion, but their athletics programs seem to be solid all around. 

[AUwent 3,748]

The question is, why has MSU informed him they're moving on? If it weren't for that, I'd say it's a decent hire.

Read an article and it seems like he's encouraging it.

They added some balconies on their stadium I think.

Is this a rumor? I've seen ppl mention this. Apparently 247 said it's false

Did that happen? I haven't seen that anywhere and 247 is denying that.

Hoke

[ThurstontheWelshCorgi 576]

Who would have had a better chance at landing Deion

This Cohen character or Greene?

Rhetorical. 

Could care a less about the a. d. But thats just me

Possibly Danny Hugh Freeze? But really the AD will hire who PTB tell him
