I am not usually in the camp of making a quick change but something has been off this whole season. Hasn’t felt right even in Week 1 as they were struggling early against SE LA.
My personal opinion is that Arnett only got the job because of extreme circumstances, and therefore State would be justified in making a move if needed. Especially with his boss not being the one that hired him. I don’t dislike Arnett but I think if State had been given the luxury of a normal coaching search last year, he wouldn’t have gotten the job.
If State gets to 6 wins I fully believe he’s back. If they go 5-7 I think it’s 50/50 and depends on how competitive the Egg Bowl is. 4-8 or 3-9 and I don’t see how you can proceed on this route.
Maybe that’s impatient. But State can’t allow itself to have a major question mark at head coach for very long. Not when you compare Arnett to the other coaches in this league, and are adding two more blue bloods next year who seem to be on the uptick.
