What’s different about Mississippi State under Zach Arnett?

Death Valley Voice (DVV): What are some of the notable differences with the Mississippi State football program under Zach Arnett’s leadership? What else has changed other than the offensive scheme?

M&W Nation: We all knew Mike Leach and the attitude he brought to every program he led, but Leach and Arnett could not be more different in their demeanors. There has been a lot of discourse amongst fans on whether this is an identity that should be leaned into, “Blue Collar” is a theme that seems to be repeatedly boosted within the program. Arnett makes a point to wear boots and jeans on recruiting trips and at booster events, and his talk backs up the image. The man is a DC to his core, and that is a bit of what worries me about him long-term. Being “hard-nosed” and “physical” are objectively good football things to be, but how sellable is that image/attitude in todays college football that is built around roster turnover and transfers? We shall see.
