This meathead we have as a coach sees all this and doesn’t take over coaching and calling the defense.

We're going to find out if we have any chance of having a defensive coach or not on this drive. He has to realize what he has been doing. Since this quarterback stepped on the field what we have been doing is not going to work.

I don't think I ever says I wanted to be the head coach. His defenses were better last year and did win us games. I questioned his promotion back in December. I didn't think he was ready. We need experience and not an experiment

Here is something to think about just who on our defense would be an NFL candidate. It doesn't matter if Joe Lee Dunn is the DC of this group. They just don't have the talent

This D is an insult to the state of Mississippi and the sport of football. Just reprehensible.

Is a bourbon street ho

anybody can score
Thank Leach. He didn't give a **** about it. He figured he could always outscore the opponent with his quirky offense. So he hired a pedestrian DC who, ironically, saved Leach *** when his quirky offense didn't quirk.

Most of our "playmakers" on defense seem to vanish for quarters at a time. I think I heard the announcers say Crumedy's name more in one game last year then in the full season so far. Watson doesn't seem as aggressive this year as last. The secondary is as porous as swiss cheese. Just not a good defense.

I posted the national rankings for our defense the last three years. It was in the forties once and sixties the other two years. You ain't saving nobody's a$$ with that kind of defense. We don't play in the Pac12. Arnett never had a good defense. 2018 was the last good defense we had

The recruits we have on defense were recruited under his watch.
Recruited by Arnett. Leach allowed him the freedom to run the defense as he wanted which included recruiting players for his system. Leach concentrated on the offense. Other than the offensive line that is learning new blocking schemes we seem to be moving the ball. Blaming Leach is just asinine.

There’s just no way to ever know what would’ve happened had Leach not passed. But I have to imagine we’d be better than this. The job is too big for Arnett. If just our offense was struggling, that would be understandable. But he’s a DC. How has he not gotten more out of this group? That’s not on Leach. That’s on him.

I wonder who is to blame for not having more sophomore or junior DL. Our DL is destroyed because we have 2 injured redshirt freshmen DL ? Did Leach not let Arnett sign any 2 years ago ? Or Arnett just didn't? Why not grab one or two from the portal maybe instead of Roberson or Lee ? Idk. Seems funky to me. We have several CB. Why can't we find 2 that can cover ??

Yeah. I get that injuries have left us thinner than paper on the DL, but how the hell did we ever let ourselves get into a position where a couple of injuries just decimated us like this?

We concentrated highly on receivers offensive line and qbs. We had to recruit to air raid to have all the receivers. Then in transition we concentrated on tight ends.
