He's Leaving, He's Staying, He's Interviewing, He's Staying, And He's Gone Again

I thought the Ellis Johnson saga was over once and for all, but I was wrong...again. It is now being reported Johnson is taking the DC position at Arkansas. Terrific.

We are right back where I though we were when I believed him to be headed to South Carolina. Everything I said then still holds true now. Whoever Croom hires as the new DC absolutely MUST be a homerun. The defense single handedly carried the team to 8 wins this year, and if the last 4 years are any indication, will have to do the same for the foreseeable future. If this hire is a bust, I guarantee you MSU is going right back into the toilet. 3-9 would be a good year. The offense won't be winning anything of significance unless changes are made. The Liberty Bowl was just more evidence of that. So, yeah, this sucks.

I'll be getting to the Liberty Bowl and basketball soon enough.
