Where was the new DC this weekend?

[OutaStatePlates]

A week ago, we all heard the unofficial comments that the hire was made. But it's a little concerning that the big recruiting weekend has come & gone without an official hire in place.

Is there some hang-up with the contract negotiations?

 

[croomin]

He's on campus working. The official announcement doesn't really matter. Prolly come out tomorrow. Nothing to see here.

FALSE RUMOR

Probably getting wife and kids moved into the new home in B'ham....then getting settled in to his work-day apartment in Starkville.

 

[99jc]

Are you serious his family will live in B'ham while he lives in Vegas? This

Sounds like its not going to be a long term relationship here. Or either u just Bullshited me!

 

[RocketDawg]

He's going to live in Birmingham? Why?

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

I heard this no ****....so son can play at high profile HS.

 

[RocketDawg]

Hoover?

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

that would be my guess

[Shmuley]

Welcome to Starkville, Coach. Say hello to your family for us.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

I don't see the big deal.

Jesus Christ. Half our defensive coaches were too good for Mississippi State, and now the defensive coordinator doesn't trust the community enough to move his family to Starkville. Gee, I wonder if that **** will be used against us on the recruiting trail.

It's always something.

 

[dannyripms]

That doesn't make sense at all. Didn't starkville just win state? They have a ton of talented guys next year as well. I figured he would join right in.

 

[Will James]

Who gives a ****. Less distractions for him here.

 

[RocketDawg]

Being from LA recently, maybe he doesn't like small towns and B'ham is the nearest thing to a big city in the area. And Hoover does have pretty good sports programs.

 

[KurtRambis4]

What does it matter?

[Shmuley]

Certainly he should have plenty of time to explain the decision to put his family in Birmingham to the Mississippi high school coaches of important recruits. No distractions.

Did you ever stop to think about the positives of him living right in a hot bed of Alabama recruiting?

That's because there is no big deal to see. Why should anyone care where his family lives as long as he's doing the job MSU hired him to do.

 

[croomin]

Do we even know if this is true?

 

[thatsbaseball]

Well I know we don`t have the greatest track record for keeping DC`s around for a long time but this is ridiculous

 

[mcdawg22]

He's going to live in Birmingham? Why?

Maybe he wants his son to go to a Catholic School and is afraid Mississippi will rule him ineligible for recruiting out to of state.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Do you think he's the first coach that's ever done that? Making a mountain out of a molehill.

 

[GhostOfJackie]

That's because there is no big deal to see. Why should anyone care where his family lives as long as he's doing the job MSU hired him to do.

I care. If you come to Coach Defense at MSU, you should at least invest in the community for the 2 years you were here. If this is true, I think it looks terrible. This guy better be a ******* baller.

 

[121Josey]

Maybe he doesn't want the family to have to face the music if he sucks.

I laughed.

 

[dawgstudent]

To me it's a big deal if that's indeed true. Your family lives 2.5 hours away from you.

But I have yet to hear this.

 

[RecSportsFootballCollege]

I know some coaches move, and their family stays back where they came from, but this basically saying "I'll take your job, but the local high school (that you're trying to pull 2 blue-choppers out of) isn't good enough for my kid. I'm going to move my family next door to Alabama."

If true, this is a total cluster17.

 

[RocketDawg]

Or he's hoping his next job will be in Tuscaloosa.

 

[RocketDawg]

Joe Lee Dunn was there for a long time before Jackie fired him.

 

[croomin]

His kid is a serious football player, so putting him at a top 10 school nationally for football wouldn't be a rejection. It's just the best place for him to develop.

Who knows, he may very well come to Mississippi for college...

 

[dannyripms]

It could be a good thing if his son gets close with some guys there and recruits them to us. Surely if he's still a coach here his son will be here too. Makes you wander though

 

[tired]

I think Dan has figured out a potential recruiting ploy..

Who knows? Mark Richt's son went to Clemson. Tubberville's son didn't follow him to Cincy, but they weren't exactly blue chippers.

With that kind of backward thinking, we can all be thankful that you don't get a vote.

To me the biggest issue with MSU is Starkville. It's the hardest part to sell to recruits.

What is he going to tell a kid when he gets asked "Coach, coach Freeze says Starkville is so bad you didn't want to move your family there".

 

[HD6]

Just so I have this straight, you think in less than a week a man moved his family and all their belongings 3000 miles across the country, picked a house to live in, and got moved in. You think this? I mean, you are basically saying the guy picked a house without his wife going into once. Because we all know that could possibly happen. Of course, you're the same guy who thinks the NBA is fixed, so yeah, you probably do believe this.

 

[Lawdawg.sixpack]

With guarantees like this, he's obviously one of our most well-informed posters:

"Clearly it was mistake to fire Stansbury. . . . Whoever we bring in [after firing Ray], I guarantee that persons resume will NOT match Stansbury's."

Best 6th post EVER!!1! I hate recruiting season. Looks like lots of folks took this bait. Come on, guys.

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

I said I "heard" this not that I am documenting his every move. Can you read?
