, Mississippi State has made a decision about the future of its football program.
"This is an extremely challenging time for both me and everyone associated with Mississippi State football," Arnett said."No one can ever replace Coach Leach and the impact he had on MSU and all of college football. This team is full of strong, resilient young men and we are committed to continuing to build on the foundation Coach Leach laid and continue to honor his legacy."
With the early signing period coming next week and the transfer window open, the school opted to move quickly in an effort to give the program stability and help the players grieve. Added interim athletic director Bracky Brett:"This is an incredibly difficult time for everyone at Mississippi State, especially for our football student-athletes and staff. As we continue to help each individual work through the sorrow that they are feeling following the passing of Coach Leach, we felt that it was crucial to provide the team with a proven leader who will be able to help them continue to navigate through these trying times and into the future. That leader is Zach Arnett.
