Arnett Fired at Mississippi State

Speculation Swirls About Future

Programs Should Target Defensive Mind

Zach Arnett was fired by Mississippi State on Monday, November 13, 2023, just 10 games into his first season as head coach. Arnett had been promoted to the full-time position after the death of Mike Leach.

With Arnett's dismissal, speculation is rife about where he could land next in college football. His defensive expertise is highly sought after, and several programs should target his services.

Arnett led Mississippi State to a 3-7 record before his firing. He had previously been the program's defensive coordinator.
