Homerun Hire?

[Dawgcap]

I'd just like to know the consensus on this ultimate homerun hire. Because what I have seen is we have several candidates with pros and cons. Some have head coaching experience with poor records to coordinators with no experience as a head coach. We have defensive minded coaches to offensive minded coaches. Fiery personalities to not so fiery. The list goes on.
My point is, I finally feel we have an AD with Ms State's best interest at heart and I trust through the interview process he is gathering info to make the best hire , not only for next year but the future of Ms State football.
Is it a guarantee homerun hire?? Probably not but for the first time in years I trust this outcome whomever is hired!

Can't we just say Touchdown Hire instead?

If he fills out the staff nicely, it’s a homerun.

Moorhead WITH Grantham would be my ideal. Would be happy with any offensive minded head coach and good recruiter if Grantham somehow was retained.

Edit: I didn't see it was already being reported when I posted this. I'm happy.

Yes. It looks like it’s got the distance we just need to see how much height we have.

 

[Dawgcap]

Ha true! But our AD was a great baseball coach!!

We have a smart guy, we have a guy that has been a successful hc before, we have a guy that is a very respected coordinator, a guy that served as a recruiting coordinator, if he can pull some coaches to surround himself with talent, he will do very well here. If he can keep Grantham, the bridge to saving this class might not be that far and we keep a top 10 defensive coordinator.

This. Still a lot of pieces being shuffled. I like our direction though.

Count me in on the Moreheads train!

Its better than a homerun hire. Its a Mississippi State hire. And by that I mean we have made our bones on buying low and selling high. And buying smart. We will never be as rich or blue-blooded as some of our competitors, but we sure as **** can outsmart them while they wring their hands about whether John Gruden will come to their school for 10 million or not without a shred of proof he can be successful at the college level. Whatever. Now that Dan is a "name", maybe he will make it under the big spotlight. Maybe he won't.

I'm perfectly happy finding the newer, better, smarter hungrier Dan Mullen. And I think we may have just done that.

Hopefully Coach JoMo can put his "concepts" offense on SloMo. He's going to have to be very patient down here.

 

[DocHolliday.sixpack]

Heeeeelzzz yeah!! HAILSTATE!!!

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

They have got to come from somewhere.

 

[MSUDAWGFAN]

After what I just read, I would have to say Yes.

 

[Dawgcap]

I actually posted before the hire and had no clue who it would be. Everyone had there pros and cons on all the candidates but I do trust that Cohen see and knows he's the man! I'm happy cause I trust a new coaching staff over a complacent staff any day

 

[Dawgzilla]

Ha true! But our AD was a great baseball coach!!

It's a solo home run to beat LSU 1-0, live on ESPN.

 

[Dawgcap]

its not the game winning homer but I trust Cohen to close it in the 9th!

 

[Dawgcap]

Moorhead to close it in the 2018

hah...funny.

Remind me why he is so highly thought of? PSUs offense wasn’t lights out. After all the talk about Moorehead I figured they would be, especially with Barkley, but was surprised they are ranked about 28th. Of course that is higher than ours was.
