Mississippi State fires Arnett after 11 games
Citing a need for leadership change, Mississippi State has fired head football coach Zach Arnett and made offensive analyst Greg Knox its interim coach.
It was just a matter of time.

Surprised he didn’t get more than one season. He was hired under unfortunate circumstances though.

11 games and they fire him?
I guess MSU thought he was not the right fit for their team after all. Arnett was hired late, after the death of Mike Leach. yes, he was on the MSU staff as DC. He put in a completely different offensive system than what Leach had been running and have success with at MSU. I figured he would have another year but its win now or be gone (if you do not have a large buyout).

I think A&M along w/ MSU saw the writing on the wall with average results, at best, made the call. I wonder if it is also them making moves for up & coming coaches now to be ahead of the curve.

Re: both MSU and tamu, schools aren't supposed to fire coaches in the middle (sorta) of the season if they don't have a replacement lined up. I wonder if one beat the other to the punch to get Elko.

I think they would, whether or not he would want to remains to be seen.
I don't think it'll happen but there are some in the admin that are wanting it. Others, not so much.
MSU is actually not a bad gig. Granted it ain't Jimbo aTm money, but the pay ain't bad. And they will hang on to you as long as you don't just get blown out by Ole Miss every year and you make a bowl game. And it doesn't have to be a NY 6 bowl. Anything beyond 7 wins is considered a bonus
In terms of football, it's probably the 2nd worst SEC job behind Vandy, but they can still pay well... and the 2nd worst SEC job is still better than most any other mid-tier [insert Power 5 conference here] job. But there are obstacles and challenges... guys with different styles and personalities seem to fit well there... Mullen and Leach. More buttoned up guys like Moorhead and Arnett... not so much. Just like Mullen wasn't a good fit at Florida. That part of it is overlooked, but is almost always vital to long term success.

Be forewarned about Chadwell in the SEC. He is a cheater. @50+yeartidefan much like Dabo, I watched him cheat. Chadwell...at Charleston Southern.

He was neck deep in the shit DuBose and company brought down on UA. You didn't miss those sanctions.
