Mississippi State has fired head football coach Zach Arnett.
“As part of my thorough and continued evaluation, I have determined that a change in leadership is necessary to move our football program forward and position it for the highest level of success,” said Zac Selmon, the Bulldogs Director of Athletics. “I have the utmost respect for Zach Arnett and am incredibly appreciative of the effort he put forth in leading our football program. However, the progress and on-field results have not been of the standard required for Mississippi State to achieve the level of success we need and expect.”
Arnett became the Bulldogs’ 35th head football coach on December 15, 2022, following the death of then head coach Mike Leach. Mississippi State had a 5-6 record during Arnett’s tenure, including a 4-6 record this season.
MSU senior offensive analyst Greg Knox will serve as interim head coach for the remainder of the 2023 season. A national search for the Bulldogs’ next head football coach is underway.
