Zach Arnett: Former Mississippi State Head Football Coach Fired After One Season

Arkansas Native Led Bulldogs to 4-6 Record in 2023

Arnett's tenure as head coach was short-lived, as Mississippi State announced his firing on Monday.

Zach Arnett, a former American football coach who served as the head coach at Mississippi State University for one season, has been fired. The announcement was made on Monday, following the Bulldogs' 4-6 record under Arnett's leadership in 2023.

Arnett, who was born in Arkansas on September 10, 1986, was previously an analyst at the University of Mississippi. He took over as Mississippi State's head coach in 2023, becoming the Bulldogs' 35th head football coach. However, his tenure was cut short after just 10 games.

Mississippi State's decision to fire Arnett comes after a disappointing season that saw the Bulldogs finish with a losing record. The team struggled offensively and defensively throughout the year, and Arnett was unable to turn things around despite making several changes to his coaching staff.

Arnett's firing is a significant development for Mississippi State's football program. The Bulldogs are now in search of a new head coach, and it remains to be seen who will be able to lead the team back to success.
