Coaches Black Monday





Magic?
5 losing seasons
28-48 Big East Record
68-67 Overall Record
8-0 Record vs HBCU’s (Played 2 in 2009)

His unimpressive resume will need some new magic tricks as Rutgers is in the Big Ten now.

Well from 2005 thru 2011 he had a winning season and bowl invites for all but 1 season and was a catapult for them getting a invite to the Big10 the following season.

I hear ya Fiyah, but it hasn’t been magic bro. In that span, his weak HBCU scheduling saved overall record and made those 7-9 win seasons look pretty weak.

We will see how he fares in the Big Ten after a bunch of “Dandelion Bowl” trips I’m the Big East. I don’t think he survives 5 years.
 
Well MS State decided to have a late Black Friday dump with Moorehead.

I think him rolling with his chosen guy and being mediocre cost him the job. That bowl game was just the nail in the coffin

As much as I don't care for MSU, I wish ol Lane would have been available because he would be a good fit over there. Don't think they will let Hughes get the job so it will be someone that can get the most of 3-4 stars like Mullen did
 



Who's next at Mississippi State after firing Joe Moorhead?


Joe Moorhead's departure after just two seasons at Mississippi State underscores why the fit factor shouldn't be underestimated in coaching hires.

Although there are cases of outsider coaches succeeding in unfamiliar territory -- Baylor's Matt Rhule is a perfect example -- local knowledge matters more often than not. Moorhead didn't suddenly become a bad coach, but after a college career spent in the Northeast, he struggled to adjust to life in the SEC at one of the league's tougher jobs. He also followed Dan Mullen, who had Mississippi State consistently punching above its weight class.

Mississippi State athletic director John Cohen looked outside the area for Mullen's successor, considering several offensive-minded coaches from the Midwest/Mid-Atlantic like Ohio State offensive coordinator Ryan Day, Toledo coach Jason Candle, and Moorhead, who had transformed Penn State's offense during two years as the playcaller. Moorhead won eight games in 2018, but it felt a bit hollow given the Bulldogs' historically elite defense (three-first-round draft picks). After a 3-1 start to Year 2, Mississippi State lost four of five, all by double-digits. He finished with a 14-12 record in two seasons.
 
Wow. He will probably never be a head coach again.

That is the exact same thing I first thought. But then I thought, well, maybe Strong does not want to be a head coach again. Him and those other four ex-head coaches on that staff (Butch Jones, Mike Stoops, Kyle Flood, Steve Sarkisian). Maybe, they are all thinking, fuckit, head coaching ain't worth the stress. LOL!!
