Would you be ok replacing Lebby and keeping Arnett as next year’s DC?

[dawgphd]

I would.

Nope. Defense almost as bad as the post-Taylor offense.

 

[olblue]

 

[ronpolk]

Nope. We need a clean break from everyone involved. Arnett has always been overrated by state fans. He had an average defense when leach kept the ball for the majority of the game.

 

[ababyatemydingo]

you don't hire a new HC and tell him "here's your DC. live with it"

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Maybe if the defense was good…..but it’s not.

 

[Called3rdstrikedawg]

Nobody on this staff or in this administration including the hydration team and the S&C and Training Staff should be retained. And for good measure fire the bus drivers and the pilots that do the flyovers.

Arnett's defense this year

PPG: 15th of 16 teams
Yds/Gm: 15th of 16 teams
Turnovers: 14th of 16 teams
Passing: 15th of 16 teams

In other words, don't trick yourself into thinking that the defense is actually good simply because they don't quite suck donkey nuts like Lebby's offense. They're pretty awful in their own right

 

[QuaoarsKing]

I'd prefer not to, but if that could lock in firing Lebby, I'd agree to it.

 

[Drebin]

I would.

Considering I was against bringing him back in the first place, hell no. I don't know why some on our fan base get attached to mediocre coaches

 

[MaxwellSmart]

The DC job has to be up to the new HC.

 

[Howiefeltersnstch]

No.

Now rerank that for only the games Taylor played in.

[HailStout]

 

[Indndawg]

I would.

Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope. I want a new coach to bring in HIS staff and some of this team...everyone except starting QB. We gotta quit this small-think

Go get Mullen from unlv then shoop from vandy. Judge move him to coach specialists. Go find Grantham to coach something on defense. Bring back Bumphis to coach wr. Wyatt as an analyst since he likes the video aspect. Cox isn't doing anything these days. Throw him a bone. Hevesy can get the OL. Hudspeth somewhere. Top it off with T Hughes as assistant HC

 

[Dawg Raid]

Why would Glenn Shumann keep someone as a DC?

Good god. This is why we can’t have nice things.

“Just bring back a bunch of old disgraced assistants so we can keep doing what we’ve always done”.

 

[Deltaduckhunter]

My opinion of Arnett changed over this season. He has two mid-season All American corners and on paper one of the stronger Safety groups in the SEC and our pass protection has been atrocious.

 

[Beretta.sixpack]

I think we should fire Lebby and make Arnett the interim head coach!!!!!!******

Are you thinking the new coach may wanna bring in his own staff?

 

[Dawgzilla2]

I was very skeptical of the Arnett hire initially. In the four games with Kamario, I thought the D lacked talent but was playing really hard. Players flying to the ball, tackling well, and keeping teams out of the endzone. I was Team Arnett.

But, now that the offense can't make a first down, we have the defense I feared we would have.

So, I'm not in favor of keeping Arnett.

But in response to the people saying you cannot tell a new HC who his DC will be....of COURSE you can if you have a good one. The coach candidate just has to decide if he's good with it. But I wouldn't miss out on a good HC just because he doesn't want to keep the current DC.

 

[Blitz83]

No - clean slate necessary

 

[OG Goat Holder]

Good god. This is why we can’t have nice things.

“Just bring back a bunch of old disgraced assistants so we can keep doing what we’ve always done”.

To be fair, what we did then worked. It’d be a solid upgrade, and one of the few Sappy Salmun might could pull off and maybe keep Taylor.

Taylor’s family and agents know exactly what Mullen has done with QBs.

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

FAHR EVUHBODY starting with Tate Reeves and continue until Charlie Winfield asks me to help scan parking passes Saturday morning

 

[HotMop]

I would.

I'd leave that up to the new Head Coach.

 

[Felonious Junk]

How many buyouts and salaries can we pay Arnett at the same time?

 

[Right_Field_Heckler]

I'm not going to pretend it's good by any measure, but it hasn't helped them that our offense can barely get a first down.

 

[TerzaghiDawg]

We have a culture issue which he has been apart of.. so No

 

[ZombieKissinger]

We 100% should retain Arnett as DC but solely so we can have an absurd topic for commentators to talk about endlessly: “Zach Arnett is the first coach in history to be defensive coordinator under three different head coaches and also a head coach himself”

 

[msstatelp1]

Only if the new HC wanted him. You don’t hire a HC then dictate who is on his staff.

 

[patdog]

I'm not going to pretend it's good by any measure, but it hasn't helped them that our offense can barely get a first down.

No. But that 18- play 10 minute 88 yard drive was a backbreaker. As was letting Vandy drive the field for a fg when we cut the lead to 5.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

I really don't think it works this way...

But, yeah, he can do the job,

 

[Right_Field_Heckler]

No. But that 18- play 10 minute 88 yard drive was a backbreaker. As was letting Vandy drive the field for a fg when we cut the lead to 5.

Like I said, I'm not pretending it's been good all season and not arguing to keep him. Hell they only scored 1 TD the entire game. I recognize Vandy sucks, but there's no way teams should be losing games when they only give up 1 TD. No way.

 

[Baddog11]

As the radio guys said last night, there was nothing to be proud of for that defensive performance and the fact that the head coach is , tells you all you need to know

 

[Baddog11]

Only if the new HC wanted him. You don’t hire a HC then dictate who is on his staff.

Or who he starts at quarterback
