Zach Arnett New Job

Mississippi State Fires Coach Zach Arnett

Defenses Struggles, Bleak Record Lead to Coaching Change

Speculation Surrounds Arnett's Next Move in College Football

Mississippi State University has parted ways with head coach Zach Arnett, effective immediately.

The decision comes after a disappointing 4-6 start to Arnett's first season as head coach. The Bulldogs have struggled defensively, ranking among the worst in the SEC.

Speculation is now turning to Arnett's next move in college football. Several programs are believed to be interested in his services as a defensive coordinator.

One potential landing spot is the University of Southern California (USC). The Trojans recently fired coordinator Alex Grinch and are in need of an experienced defensive mind.

Another possibility is Vanderbilt University. The Commodores are also struggling defensively and could use Arnett's expertise to turn things around.

Arnett has a reputation as a strong recruiter and motivator. He was previously defensive coordinator at Kentucky and Missouri.

It remains to be seen where Arnett will end up, but there is no doubt that he will be a sought-after commodity in the coaching market.
