Jamar Chaney: Senior Bowl MVP
by jeremyflint on Jan 30, 2010 11:01 PM EST
0 comments
Jamar Chaney, a last minute invite to the Senior Bowl in Mobile, came away from today's game as the defensive MVP of the game after a week of impressing NFL scouts at practice. Chaney had 8 total tackles, splitting solo and assists evenly. He also recovered a fumble, but turned around and fumbled the recovery.
Anthony Dixon, the only other MIssissippi State player on the South team roster, was playing the full back position (for some reason) and only touched the ball once for 3 yards.

Varnado is Player of the Week, Bulldogs in AP Top 25
by jeremyflint on Jan 18, 2010 2:20 PM EST

Jarvis Varnado has been selected as the SEC Player of the Week for his efforts in the MSU victories over Arkansas and Georgia.
Varnado averaged 15.5 points, 13.0 rebounds and 8.0 blocks per game in wins over Arkansas and Georgia. He recorded his second-career triple-double and just the school’s fourth with 17 points, 12 rebounds and 10 blocks against Arkansas. He answered that performance with his 10th double-double of the year with 14 points and 14 rebounds against Georgia, while all six of his blocked shots came in the final 10 minutes of the game as the Bulldogs overcame a 13-point deficit with under five minutes to play.
So far this season, Varnado is averaging 14.4 ppg and will more than likely break the NCAA career blocks record.
Mississippi State also re-entered the top 25 this week, coming in at number 23 on the AP poll. In the USA Today poll, the Bulldogs are just outside at 27.
The team travel to Alabama next Saturday for an 11am tip-off, which will be televised on CBS.

Chris Wilson, the defensive ends coach at Oklahoma, has accepted an offer to become a defensive co-coordinator at Mississippi State, as well as coaching the defensive line. He will work along side Manny Diaz, who will also coach the linebackers.
Wilson was a four-year letterman at Oklahoma between 1988-1991, he recorded 311 tackles, 18th-best all-time and 11th-best for an OU linebacker. He was on the 1991 Butkus Award watch list and a third team All-America selection as a junior by The Football News. His three fumble recoveries as a senior ties for the OU single-season record by a linebacker and his 12 career pass deflections ranks seventh all-time by a linebacker at OU.
After being drafted by the Bears in the 1992 NFL draft, he started his coaching career as a GA with Indiana State in 1993. He has coached at Oklahoma since 2005 after stops at Colorado and Army among other schools.

Manny Diaz Accepts Defensive Coordinator Position

Over a month after former defensive coordinator Carl Torbush left Mississippi State to join Turner Gill at Kansas, Mississippi State has announced that Manny Diaz is the new defensive coordinator. Manny Diaz has recently served 4 years at DC at Middle Tennessee State University, where his defense finished the 2009 season ranked 2nd in the nation in tackles for loss and 6th in sacks.
Diaz started his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Florida State under Mickey Andrews. From there, he went on to N.C. State, first as GA working with linebackers and then safeties and special teams. He joined the MTSU staff in 2006 as defensive coordinator, also working with the safeties and linebackers.

It has been more than a month since we learned that DC Carl Torbush was leaving MSU to join Turner Gill's staff at Kansas. In that time, the only 2 names that have really surfaced as possible replacements are Willie Martinez and Manny Diaz. A third was added today when Tom Dienhart tweeted that Rick Minter would be interviewing for the job. Here is a run-down of the names out there so far and their resumes.

Slight Change In 2010 Football Schedule...
by Dawgfan246 on Jan 7, 2010 7:53 PM EST

According to Mississippi State's official website, there has been a slight change to the 2010 football schedule. The Auburn game has been moved from Saturday, September 11th, to Thursday, September 9th. The night game will be televised on ESPN and will put State in the national spotlight for their SEC opener.
Most of the games during the 2009 season filled the stadium and 2010 promises much of the same. The atmosphere for the Thursday night game should be electric since it will be the only college game televised that evening.
The last time Auburn visited Starkville, the result was a painful 3-2 victory for the Tigers.
