First off, congrats to Coach Hughes for getting a head coach position! Now that he's gone though, does anybody know who we might replace Hughes with or good/realistic candidates to go after? Also, any news on replacements for the strength coach that left?
Hughes Replacement

Would like to see Deshea take over the secondary, us sit Sallach in an office job, hire Brewster back to AHC/TE, and add a full time special teams guy. Won't happen, but that's my dream scenario.
Deshea cited Mullen's track record for promoting people from within as a reason why he chose MSU. I don't see how he wouldn't be promoted with that opening, and I'm not sure I'd be upset. He's best buds with one of the best, if not THE best, safeties in NFL history. I think he could do it.

That would be awesome.
Maybe we could get Head and Shoulders to takeover the Bullock Toyota adds on the Jumbotron***
Damn! Sleepy is a good recruiter too, 17! A True Maroon MSU guy who when he was just coaching High School said that he wanted to be the Head Coach at MSU (BulldawgJunction interview, 17ing Wardlaw).
I'd be okay with promoting Deshea. Just throwing this out there and it might be a dumb suggestion, but what about getting Fred Smoot on staff? I'm not sure how good of a coach he would be, but I gotta believe he would be a great recruiter!
I was just about to say Smoot---I looked up his Wiki page and he is really not doing anything now, the Washington Waffle House thing didn't work out. Also, Robert Bean would also work for me. An Atlanta guy who had good fundamentals and he wasn't too full of himself that he wouldn't play Special Teams for us.
Lots of hilarious entertainment in this thread.
1. Just because you played at a high level doesn't mean you'd be a good coach at that level. Hell, let's bring back Moulds to coach the WR, Haggan to coach linebackers, and JJ to coach running backs. I'm sure if we offer enough money, Dak will stay on and coach QBs. Maybe we can get Dontae to put his pork chop down long enough to come and help JJ.
2. Bean didn't play special teams because "he wasn't too full of himself." He played special teams because the coaches put him there.
3. Other comments in here...like moving Sallach to a desk job, etc., add to the hilarity.
Nkemdiche is more likely to suit up Mississippi next year than Tim Brewster ever coaching here again. Brewster is as likely to come back as Bruce Arians is. People need to give it up. He did ok when he was here but it's not like we have a roster full of blue chip recruits thanks to him. Everyone says he got Ross, but it was Koenning. He did get us commitments from a bunch of kids for this class who ended up not living up to their billing though.
He may not have been listed as the main recruiter on specific guys, but
it's pretty widely known he was a 'glue' guy for many of the recruits. He is a favorite among players and MS high school coaches.
Dear, Adams, Calvin, Peters just to name a few last year.
This will sting a bit.

He's a strong asset but only as an on campus recruiter. Since he is not an on field assistant coach he is not allowed to recruit off campus.
Correct, great guy to have players meet when you bring them in for visits. Super likeable guy, and he connected with MS high school players better than many others on staff.
We need a coach, not a character. If we were having cocktail hour for the Bulldog Club, or a Reddit AMA, I'd want Smoot. But not as a molder of men, who you'd have to sell to parents. #LoveBoat

Why on earth do people think that being a good player translates AT ALL to being a good teacher/coach
I don't think it hurts near as much as some think. It's not like he's going to OM or something. We will not have to compete with him for any recruits. Some are acting like he's the only reason a MS kid signed here.
