Just a few short months ago, Peter Sirmon, Terrell Buckley, Maurice Linguist and Brian Baker were scattered around the country.
Sirmon was on the West Coast, coaching linebackers at Southern Cal. Buckley was guiding the cornerbacks at Louisville. Linguist was the defensive passing game coordinator at Iowa State and Baker was an assistant at a high school in Texas.
An unusual series of events has since brought the four men together in Starkville. In the offseason, Mississippi State lost its entire defensive coaching staff. Enter Sirmon, Buckley, Linguist and Baker to try and keep MSU’s success of recent years rolling.
