Everyone knew JoMo was going to bring an innovative offensive scheme to State and score points. We all knew the guy was a great football mind when he was hired- that was supposed to be his strength. But most everyone questioned his ability to recruit. While there’s still a long way until signing day, it looks like the man can most certainly croot. When that part of his resume is supposed to be his weakness, just how damn good of a ball coach is this guy?

Needless to say I am excited about this season. If JoMo exceeds our expectations in the coaching department as much as he has exceeded expectations on the crootin trail, it will be a very fun 2018. The only question I have is Shoop running the defense- although that’s more of a question mark than an outright concern. We have enough talent to be really good on that side of the ball either way, but Shoop coaching at the level he was at PSU and Vandy would make our defense elite.

Shoop has an outstanding resume. He’ll be fine. He made a mistake jumping into a dumpster fire at Tennessee. But he’s a good coach.

I think Shoop will be fine. His resume' less the Tennessee debacle seems to be good and I don't think Coach Moorhead would have hired him unless he thought highly of him. We will see real soon, though.
