Mississippi State football changed defensive coordinators on Saturday. Zach Arnett became rumored to fill the vacancy for the Bulldogs . Now the two sides have agreed to a new deal following the departure of Coleman Hutzler.

Hutzler's defense fell to 95th overall in the nation. Only Arkansas delivered worse results on that side of the football.
