Ahhh. Now I see why Arnett wanting full autonomy was such an issue. ...

Not saying Guice should be given a chance to play, especially with what he has done. But the league lets a guy like Tyreek Hill continue to play (persistent and documented wife/child abuser), so I wouldn't necessarily put it past them. ...

Dang. I appreciate the info. If true then not offering was smart. Just wish it was more transparent, but seems like Texas reported similar things....

Can we get a detailed analysis on what went wrong with Arnett's interview or what the reasons for not offering him were? Because if it had anything to do with O holding out for Nielson or with Arnett's buyout then it is time to reconsider. I could be completely wrong but there was very little transp...

As a State fan, what is your take on Arnett? ...

After doing research, you cannot legitimately argue that he shouldn't be among the top candidates for DC. ...

So after Freeman is every coordinator we pursue that has multiple opportunities "playing us"? That is some serious PTSD....

^ This is why you interview multiple candidates and make multiple offers. Doesn't mean that we should pursue Arnett with any less force....

True. I think LSU would serve as a bigger stepping stone to a HC role than Oregon though. Plus he just spent one year in the SEC. Staying in the same conference but with a better city, more pay and better players seems enticing. ...

Another worry is that Arnett is still on the short list of DC candidates at TX and other schools. If we have the opportunity to pull the trigger this week, then we shouldn't wait. ...

Didn't think about that Iowa but that is a great point. The main reason I want Arnett is because his scheme performs well against the spread and other pass heavy offenses. Kind of the opposite of Pellini's ha. ...

Haha they are livid at the possibility. They love Arnett over there. ...

Both could be awesome DCs for us, with Neilson being more high risk high reward. But if Arnett is on board this week then you absolutely move on him. ...

Stfu about but out haha. We may not get him, but the insane buyout rumor is 100% false. ...

The Neilson obsession is mind boggling. Not saying he'd be bad, but there is absolutely no indication that he would be better than half of the other candidates. Must be a Saints fan thing. ...

Arnett would be ten times better than an unproven guy like Neilson. Still trying to figure out where the high buy out rumors come from. ...

Leach will be at State for another 2-3 full years at least. Arnett would have a better shot at usurping O lol. Also, the fact that he is being considered and is interviewing for multiple DC openings disproves the HC-only theory. ...

The guys saying he is just trying to get a bigger check from MSU or that we cannot afford his buyout (which the poster above established is relatively low) are either: (1) just plain stupid, or (2) putting Arnett down in the hopes that they can direct the citizens of this Board away from Arnett and ...

^ I promise you we can afford it. ...

I can tell you right now that Arnett is not intending to interview to get a raise at state. All of my state buddies and their posters consider him already gone. It's just a matter of how soon and to where. Dude is the real deal and his opportunities show it. If you paid attention to State's locker r...
