All it took was a stay at a local hotel to let Maurice Linguist know he was officially a Mississippi State Bulldog.
“I checked into the Courtyard Marriott a couple of days ago and everybody came out and asked if was one of the new coaches and then they started telling me how to beat Ole Miss,” MSU’s new safeties coach said. “That’s how I knew this was serious now. This is for the big boys.”
Linguist is just one of three new hires on Mississippi State’s defensive coaching staff this offseason.
