OM hires new WR coach

Cal WR coach, Jacob Peeler. Lol @ Trooper Taylor rumor.

He's a solid hire. MS guy.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

That actually makes sense for them. It was mentioned earlier that he's from Kosciusko and went to Holmes CC. He also got his Master's in Kinesiology from MSU.

Where'd he get his bachelors?

Louisiana Tech

Here's his Cal Bio: Link.

He's been recruiting MS hard for them too. He's a pretty good recruiter and a good hire. Has been building some good relationships with the coaches in MS. Was hoping he wouldn't be their hire

 

[Drebin]

Yes, he's a good one. Good hire by the Rebs. Hopefully he won't be there long.

Hoping to get at least a year out of him after our last one quit after two weeks.

He may not have attended college at Ole Miss, but he grew up a big rebel fan!

Never even heard of Peeler before but do have questions. If he did grow up as a 'big rebel fan,' why did he choose to attend MSU instead of Ole Miss for his Master's in Kinesiology?

Is MSU Kinesiology 'that much' better than OM's program?

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

It's less than a month from signing day and one of the guys signed up a couple of days ago with a generic bulldawg name. I'll let you do the rest.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

The thread in question. All three of his posts so far relate to Peeler: Link.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

From "pretty sure he is from a rebel family" to "grew up a big rebel fan!".

Dr. Lamberth is the man. One of my favorite teachers of all time.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

Heh. Just realized that Peeler succeeded Rob Likens (who was a student at MSU the same time I was) as receivers coach at Berkeley. I didn't know Rob had recently left the OC position at Kansas to be receivers coach at Arizona State. Link.

 

[The Peeper]

Limit his outside contact with the rest of the world to the Clarion Ledger and he won't hear anything negative about the program and be enjoyed to leave

 

[AlCoDog]

He was my advisor and probably the only reason I have a degree. Dude was great.

I grew up with Jacob in Kosciusko

He does come from a big Ole Miss family, but since I reconnected with him while he was at LA Tech, he's always had a game plan to work towards being a college coach.. He went to State I'm sure because of the convenience factor post college.

He's a really good dude, and somebody I would love to have at MSU in some capacity. I wish him the best, and hope this move works out for him with the pending sanctions.

I knew this was a bad time of year to join and make my 1st post, but I have been reading the board for about 10 years since I left Starkville. I knew Jacob and was at state while he was there. Great guy all the way around. Just stating the facts that even though he has a masters from State, he was always a rebel. Pretty sure it was just convenience to KO, and possibly a female at the time that brought him to Starkville.
