Summary

Jeff Lebby needed to replace his defensive coordinator, and he needed experience in the new hire. Lebby seemingly has his man, and its a familiar face, as former Mississippi State defensive coordinator and head coach Zach Arnett seems poised for a return to Starkville. How did this come about, and is Arnett the right man to turn around State's awful defense? Brian Hadad and Robbie Faulk break down a surprising report in a special Saturday edition of T&L. Brian Hadad of SportsTalk Mississippi and Robbie Faulk of On3 give you the best insight into Mississippi State athletics. We cover the Bulldogs like no one else. This show is a production of SuperTalk Mississippi Media. Learn more at SuperTalk.FM
