OT- Moorhead out at Miss St
January 3rd, 2020 at 11:17 AM ^
Ole’ Miss may lose the game, but they damn sure will always win the tailgate.
January 3rd, 2020 at 10:09 AM ^
It's a dog pee dog world
January 3rd, 2020 at 10:10 AM ^
You, sir, are on your game to start the new year
January 3rd, 2020 at 10:20 AM ^
I'm coming for everybody's head in 2020. Neil Degrasse Tyson is next.
January 3rd, 2020 at 10:42 AM ^
is anyone else reading what doc wrote, and hearing dick the bruiser in the background saying,
'this is fair warning....!!!'
January 3rd, 2020 at 10:51 AM ^
This is a real life depiction of me if I ever see NDT in person
January 3rd, 2020 at 11:16 AM ^
forgot to ask: who is neil DT, and why are you going to put him in a sleeper hold?
January 3rd, 2020 at 12:32 PM ^
He’s the most pedantic twat on the planet and I will shut his mouth for good if given the chance
January 3rd, 2020 at 1:03 PM ^
i believe...
January 3rd, 2020 at 11:17 AM ^
Yeah but you're not Dick the bruiser, you're The Dick Bruiser
January 3rd, 2020 at 11:38 AM ^
Why you no like Neil?
January 3rd, 2020 at 1:45 PM ^
I thought everyone liked black science man.
He is a pedantic twat tho.
January 3rd, 2020 at 10:09 AM ^
He will be hired by a school to be an OC in about 3 minutes.
January 3rd, 2020 at 11:26 AM ^
From one MSU to another. Wait a minute! Mork wouldn't want to do anything to help the offense.
January 3rd, 2020 at 10:10 AM ^
Well fuck, can't he go back to PSU as OC?
January 3rd, 2020 at 10:10 AM ^
Joey Freshwater's ears just perked up.
January 3rd, 2020 at 10:11 AM ^
Joe Moorhead: UM offensive consultant. I like the sound of it.
January 3rd, 2020 at 10:23 AM ^
Not as crazy as you think given the Gattis connection.
January 3rd, 2020 at 10:25 AM ^
And his friendship with Don Brown...and the fact that there's still time for us to lose an assistant on the offensive side of the ball...
January 3rd, 2020 at 9:37 PM ^
I could name 2........
January 3rd, 2020 at 10:28 AM ^
MOAR COACHES!!!!
January 3rd, 2020 at 10:32 AM ^
Considering he apparently got booted in part because of discipline issues, I'd rather UM just take a pass on him for a cycle. Whatever incremental improvements he may be able to make just doesn't feel worth it.
January 3rd, 2020 at 10:43 AM ^
One year off is for someone who had a kid die on his watch.
January 3rd, 2020 at 11:12 AM ^
Unless you're Irish
January 3rd, 2020 at 11:52 AM ^
I should have said that better - I don't want Michigan to take him for any reason. I think it's beyond stupid that Durkin even has a job right now.
January 3rd, 2020 at 9:48 PM ^
You think it's stupid that someone is given a second chance?
There have been kids in high school that died in practice.
January 3rd, 2020 at 11:19 AM ^
Discipline issues are the HC's responsibility first, the AD's second. You really don't want that to be something assistants tackle, especially when we're talking about off the field stuff.
January 3rd, 2020 at 11:55 AM ^
Sure. My point is that he apparently got booted in some part because of a number of off-field issues, and to me that's a red flag even for some assistant who isn't directly involved in "official" coaching.
And more generally, I don't see why Michigan needs to take a flier on a guy when they already have the good parts of him reasonably replicated in Gattis.
January 3rd, 2020 at 6:41 PM ^
He's only been there 2 years, good chance the issues were with kids he didnt recruit.
January 3rd, 2020 at 10:12 AM ^
When you get fired for team discipline problems in the SEC, you know things have gone off the rails.
Before the end of the day, some knuckleheaded MGoBlogger will post a comment saying Harbaugh should fire Gattis and replace him with Moorhead.
January 3rd, 2020 at 10:23 AM ^
Sound prediction, if you weren't already a minute too late.
January 3rd, 2020 at 10:53 AM ^
If you're referring to Naked Bootlegger, he didn't suggest that we fire Gattis and replace him with Moorhead; he just suggested Moorhead as a consultant, which is a much different thing, at least on the surface.
January 3rd, 2020 at 11:06 AM ^
Exactly. I'm definitely not waving the "Fire Gattis/Hire Moorhead" flag. It just immediately crossed my mind that a consultant gig could be a plausible scenario given Harbaugh's track record with hiring short-term consultants, especially if Moorhead is interested in cooling off for a year before jumping back into a HC or OC position.
January 3rd, 2020 at 11:12 AM ^
Ah. I suspected the suggestion was more of a Drevno/Warriner situation. We did rent McElwain for a year but he was the receivers coach, not a consultant. I doubt Moorhead would accept a consultant position unless he was promised something like the OC job in a year -- which, hey, Gattis might be gone by then.
January 3rd, 2020 at 9:53 PM ^
There's 2 coaches on the offensive staff that are expendable. Room can be made for Moorhead here.
January 3rd, 2020 at 6:42 PM ^
Probably means some of the checks bounced and/or were late.
January 3rd, 2020 at 10:12 AM ^
Would be a perfect fit for BC's offensive coordinator role given head coach is all defense.
January 3rd, 2020 at 10:17 AM ^
I hear Kiffin is hiring.
January 3rd, 2020 at 10:21 AM ^
This would be trolling at the next level. If his philosophy is congruent with Kiffin, it is so Kiffin to do.
January 3rd, 2020 at 10:16 AM ^
Did Minn fill their OC spot yet??
January 3rd, 2020 at 10:17 AM ^
Joe moorehead to Ohio state in 3...2....1......
January 3rd, 2020 at 10:21 AM ^
Oh god just shut up. That's all too plausible. So don't mention it again.
January 3rd, 2020 at 10:22 AM ^
He's only 46? Dude looks 60.
January 3rd, 2020 at 11:14 AM ^
Holy hell, he doesn't look a day under Medicare age.
January 3rd, 2020 at 10:25 AM ^
He's going to wind up on Kiffin's staff, isn't he?
January 3rd, 2020 at 10:26 AM ^
I mean, word was they wanted to move on from each other prior to the egg bowl and because Mississippi is america's dumbest state they kept him because the other team got a penalty for fake dog pissing.
Everything about that marriage didn't work. He wasted the most talented Mississippi State team in decades resetting their offense instead of more or less just running Mullen's stuff for a year until those guys graduated. They disliked him immediately for being too Yankee. It seems he had a real difficult time being a head coach in a completely different region of the country he'd never worked in before. People made a big deal about Mullen being a yankee and working there, but they always leave out that he'd been an OC at Florida for years and had plenty of time to acclimate culturally.
I'd say the biggest culprit for why that went south though is they never fully understood how good they had it with Mullen and thought they could plug someone in and get the same results. Given how badly Arkansas, Ole Miss and Mizzou bungled their head coaching searches, they could end up with Willie Fritz and have a better coach than all three of them, which would be the funniest outcome in all this.

Florida is way more diverse than Mississippi. Yankees in Florida are hardly exotic (FFS it's God's Waiting Room for Northeasterners), and he wasn't the boss. I don't think the situations are comparable.

These lyrics sound familiar.

I'm talking more the kids on the team. Florida doesn't/didn't just recruit kids in state, they had kids from the gulf region/Atlanta. He spent years in an SEC program recruiting kids in the south and coaching them/being around them/relating to them. It seems like whatever it is Moorhead was doing was absolutely not clicking with the kids on that team, multiple locals talking about massive discipline issues and tune outs. I wonder if it was just culture shock for him. The players on the team aren't all from Mississippi. If he had that much problem relating to players from the deep south and such, I can only imagine how he handled the backwoods incest creep alumni.
January 3rd, 2020 at 10:32 AM ^
Peter Principle strikes again. He'll end up as an OC somewhere in no time.
