Mississippi State Fires Football Coach Zach Arnett
Less Than One Season as Head Coach
Posted: November 13, 2023
Mississippi State University has fired football coach Zach Arnett after less than one season as head coach, athletic director Zac Selmon announced on Monday.
This shocking move comes just nine months after Arnett was hired to replace the late Mike Leach. At 36 years old, Arnett was the youngest head coach in the Southeastern Conference.
During his brief tenure, Mississippi State struggled on the field, going 3-9 overall and 1-7 in SEC play. The Bulldogs lost their final four games of the season, including a 24-22 setback to rival Ole Miss in the Egg Bowl.
Arnett's firing marks the third head coaching change at Mississippi State in the past four years. Dan Mullen left after the 2017 season to take over at Florida, and Joe Moorhead was fired after two seasons in 2019.
The Bulldogs will now begin a search for their fourth head coach in five years. It remains to be seen who will be brought in to lead the program back to prominence.
Conclusion: Mississippi State's decision to fire Zach Arnett after less than one season as head coach is a bold move that leaves many questions about the future of the program. The Bulldogs have now had three head coaches in the past four years, and the search for a long-term solution continues.
