Mississippi State Fires Head Coach Zach Arnett
Potential Replacements Include Lance Leipold, Willie Fritz, Jon Sumrall, and Jamey Chadwell
- Mississippi State has fired head coach Zach Arnett after a disappointing season, with the team currently standing at 4-6.
- Arnett was promoted to head coach following the sudden death of Mike Leach last year, but has struggled to deliver results.
- Possible replacements for Arnett include Lance Leipold from Kansas, Willie Fritz from Tulane, Jon Sumrall from Troy, and Jamey Chadwell from Liberty.
- Greg Knox, MSU’s senior offensive analyst, will serve as the interim coach for the remainder of the season.
- Arnett's dismissal comes a day after Texas A&M fired coach Jimbo Fisher.
