Moorhead Final Grade: C - ............
- Thread starter Shmuley
- Start date
B- to C: No receivers above 3-star. That may, or may not turn out to be a negative. Otherwise, agree.
Why go with a proven guy in the hardest division in college football, when you can roll the dice?
I’m sure he’s madder than hell. He’s as competitive as it gets, no doubt this is chapping his ***.
being mad about it does nothing though when you are the coach. we are the ones that can be mad. He needs to get after it and figure out and in a hurry
This is a true statement. But there’s probably nothing he can do about it, not until we have as much money as everyone else...and I don’t see that happening anytime soon, do you?
Our RBs coach leaves to be RBs coach at bama. Same with DL. The hell are you supposed to do about that? Especially when most of our fan base takes the mindset of “it’s a better opportunity to further his career”.
That’s the 17ing problem.
C is about right, and that's giving him some benefit of the doubt of being new. Really, with the talent we have he didn't even beat all the teams he should have beat, and he got blown out in the games we weren't favored in. And other than pulling in Charles Cross (which I think was a huge signing), recruiting was fairly mediocre too.
I’m still sitting at a C- to D. He could have been worse but I think the defense helped him a lot this year and made his grade a little higher. Had our defense not been as good this year he could have ended with an F for the putrid offense he put together which is his domain. We got Cross, Shrader, and Pickering. That I’m happy about. Not enough high profile receivers which was a big need. I’m not sold on his player development either or working with what talent skill sets he has to make a scheme.
The whole money thing is mind boggling for me. If other schools were paying assistants $10M, I’d get it. We can’t play in that pool
However, they’re not, and we had $101M in athletic revenue last year which QUADRUPLED since 2005. It may be unrealistic to think we can do that again over the next 10-15 years, but even if we only had a goal of doubling it, it’s really hard for me to understand why we can’t find more money for assistants. Football is king when it comes to revenue, and we’ve got to keep feeding the beast

The Moorhead era is a failure at this point.
That's not to say he can't turn it around- I have hope that he can- but there's no evidence to support it yet.
His stated goal was to move the program from good to great and so far we're moving the opposite direction.

I don't see many positives. I like that he was able to keep Shoop and that he doesn't interfere with the defense. It also seems that the players like him. Everything else has been average to below average.
Just have to see what he can do this season and the next recruiting cycle. If we go 6-6 and don't see any improvement in recruiting, it will be time to cut our losses.

And here we are once AGAIN near the bottom of the sec in recruiting. Rivals shows us at eleventh out of fourteen sec schools. Oh but wait, recruiting rankings doesn’t matter.**
I'll give him a B-. He picked up OL players we needed and Pickering. Swinging Cross was pretty good. December's signees were solid. I'll wait to see how 2019 turns out before I criticize the man too much. Granted, we whiffed on a couple of recruits and got beat in some games we should have won. But it was his first year. I'm just not a member of the "what you done for me lately?" crowd. Coaching is a tough business and you're at the mercy of your players at times. He put together a decent staff. For all the bitching about the ones that left, it's part of the business. He seems to have hired decent replacements. As it has been said by others, Saban has guys to replace every year. Would you agree they have a stable program? For us it's harder for sure but if you hire good people somebody else is going to make a run at them. They don't always leave because there's some sort of "problem".
I have said on here several times (of the few times I have posted) "Coaches are like preachers, they come and they go". Moorehead will be gone one day as well. I think if we get the right QB in place we will be ok. Defense is going to be ok.
Getting the ball to the receivers we have (and not having them drop throws that are on the money FLORIDA/ IOWA) will be the difference in 2019. That's all I have to say about that.....

I got the MSU alumni donation report yesterday in the mail called "Infinite Impact". It is the giving program that MSU has been pushing for the last 10 years or so. Based on where they have me in the donor listings this must include Bulldog Club cumulative donations also. We have 18% participation by all alumni. 18 out of 100 graduates of MSU give to MSU. There is your problem. And before anyone says "not everyone can give that much", I'm talking all levels. Get off the wallets and good things happen.
Football seems to be in slow decline based on the fans I interact with. Football drives the $ for the whole athletic dept. If it goes down too far the whole program will suffer. I have little confidence in this group at this point. Still hope I am wrong. Let's put it this way I don't expect any yearly rumor that Joe is going to a different school.
Well, to be fair, we haven't had a QB that can pass accurately consistently or receivers that can catch......consistently.
