Mississippi State Parts Ways with Zach Arnett After One Season as Head Coach Following Mike Leach’s Departure

Seattle Sports

It has been a tumultuous few months for Mississippi State football, and the news just got worse. The school has decided to part ways with Zach Arnett, who was hired last December as the head coach following Mike Leach’s departure.

Arnett had been brought in to replace Leach, who had left to take the head coaching job at Texas Tech. Arnett had previously served as the defensive coordinator at San Diego State, and was thought to be a good fit for the Bulldogs.

Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned for Arnett and Mississippi State. The team finished with a 4-7 record this season, and Arnett’s tenure was marked by a lack of offensive production. The Bulldogs were held to fewer than 20 points in five of their seven losses, and they never scored more than 24 points in any game.

The decision to part ways with Arnett was not an easy one for Mississippi State, but it was ultimately the right move. The school is now searching for a new head coach who can bring stability and success to the program.

It’s been a difficult few months for Mississippi State football, but the school is determined to move forward and find a new head coach who can help the team reach its potential. It’s an uncertain time for the Bulldogs, but they remain hopeful that they can find the right person to lead them back to prominence.
