Mississippi State Fires Coach Zach Arnett

Former Defensive Coordinator Now a Hot Commodity

Several Programs Targeting Arnett's Defensive Expertise

Mississippi State has fired head coach Zach Arnett after just 10 games into his first season. The move comes as a surprise, as Arnett was widely praised for his defensive acumen during his time as defensive coordinator under Mike Leach. With his firing, Arnett has now become a hot commodity in the college football coaching market.

Several programs are expected to target Arnett for their defensive coordinator positions. One of the most likely landing spots is USC, which recently fired its defensive coordinator, Alex Grinch. Arnett has a strong relationship with USC head coach Lincoln Riley, and he would be a welcome addition to the Trojans' staff.

Another potential landing spot for Arnett is Vanderbilt. The Commodores are in need of a defensive overhaul, and Arnett's experience and success would be a valuable asset. Vanderbilt head coach Clark Lea is also a former defensive coordinator, and he would likely be able to provide Arnett with the support and resources he needs to succeed.

Arnett's firing from Mississippi State has come as a shock to many in the college football world. However, it has also created a unique opportunity for other programs to acquire a talented and experienced defensive coordinator. With his track record of success, Arnett is sure to be a hot commodity on the coaching market.
