Okay, so I’ve been seeing a lot of chatter online about Zach Arnett and whether he’s on the “hot seat” at Mississippi State. I decided to do a little digging and see what all the fuss was about. Frankly, I have paid little attention to it before.

First, I headed over to some college football forums. You know, the places where fans really let loose. Man, it was a mixed bag. Some folks were defending Arnett, saying he needs more time, it’s only his first year, yadda yadda. Others were, shall we say, less charitable.
Next, I checked out some sports news sites. I wanted to see what the “experts” were saying. The tone there was a bit more measured. It was all about “wait and see”, “tough schedule”, and “building a program”. You know, the usual coach-speak stuff.
- Started on fan forums – saw a range of opinions, from supportive to very negative.
- Checked major sports outlets – got the more analytical, “objective” take.
I dug into the stats, I wanted to check on Mississippi states and the records this season. This is where it got, a little interesting.
After all this, it is my personal conclusion that this is the process of recording this matter.
So, is Zach Arnett on the hot seat? From my little investigation, the answer is “maybe”. It’s clear the fanbase is divided. The “experts” are holding their judgment. And the actual performance is, well, not great.

I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on this one. It’s always interesting to see how these coaching situations play out. Will he turn it around? Will the pressure get to him? Only time will tell.
