Mississippi State has fired Moorhead

[tnutater]

Don't understand why fire him now and not a month ago?

Egg Bowl

 

[Orange931]

Butch needs to call Mississippi State

Why? He’s making more money living off of UT while making Saban’s morning brew.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Horrible timing. Really, after the early signing period.

No kidding.

 

[DixieVol]

That loss to Louisville would've made me fire him too they weren't very good and yet they steam rolled Miss St.

Did the linebacker that hit the Qb to knock him out of bowl game, play in the bowl game?

 

[1orangews6]

A State friend of mine wants them to go after Joe Brady. Every State fan I know including my wife wanted Moorehead gone.

 

[paintitorange]

In before does this mean we have a shot at Jordan Davis now!

 

[VolAmerican]

Butch needs to call Mississippi State

My thoughts exactly! Maybe his 8 Million is about up and he will consider.

 

[OleRockyTop]

Sucks for the recruits who signed with him and now they're going to have a new coach, IMO in a scenario such as this the recruits should be allowed to sign with another school

Yeah,he did

 

[bamawriter]

They must think they've got a great hire on the line. Otherwise, this move makes absolutely no sense.

 

[DixieVol]

Yeah,he did

Thanks. Was wondering. Guess he won't be taking home any post season sportsmanship trophies

 

[livefaith]

Didn't State interview CJP but passed on him to hire Mooredhead?

My memory says that CJP passed on MSU for UT. At least that's what I remember from that coach search melee!

Why wouldn't he? He's one of the best hitters on the team.

Ok, how long until someone starts a thread asking what position should Tennessee hire him for?

 

[unfrozencvmanvol]

I remember a lot of people arguing that no one would fire a coach after 2 years, in this day and age they are though.

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

Joe Moorhead earlier in the season said "This is my program" and "You'll have to drag my Yankee a** out of here"

The South just rose again

 

[Bigun]

Miss St guys here at work seem to think it's Napier. However none of them are in the know that I am aware of, but apparently that is the info floating around.

Never understood the Moorehead hire to begin with. Guy was from the north, had all of his coaching experience in the Big 10/Big East but is going to not only come to the SEC but come to Starkville?

 

[Sub Par SUPERSTAR]

ESPN write up said Gene Chizik was an candidate...If they fired Joe Moorhead to hire Gene Chizik...Just, wow.

I’d rather have a coach with fire rather than a coach tied to one of the bigger scandals in CFB history.

Undoubtedly haha

 

[DixieVol]

Well I screwed that up, but his hit did take out best QB option they had. Just wondered how that was treated down there

 

[gordonr24]

I expect Napier to be the guy here.

Makes absolute sense. Moorhead was running that program into the ground. He was a lame duck coach going into next season. They’ll upgrade.

It is Mississippi State. What "great hire" could they have?

 

[Mccage]

The espn article says their candidates are Billy Napier and Gene Chizik

Billy Napier can Coach and I'm wishing Billy all the luck. Comes from a great football family. I was hoping we would have got Billy for OC before his hire at LL

 

[SpookyAction]

Willie Fritz, Napier, and Bill Clark are solid options for State. It is a job where the powers that be have to roll the dice a bit. Mullen is the only hire that was amazing out of the gate.

BUT, I would interview Dave Aranda and see if he has interest. If he does, he's hired.

That fanbase really needs their Dr. Pepper now.
