Zach Arnett has big goals for Mississippi State after replacing Mike Leach

STARKVILE, Miss. – Zach Arnett and Zac Selmon joined the hundreds of attendees at Dak Prescott’s charity gala in May in Dallas.

Representing for Prescott is part of the job for Mississippi State’s football coach and its athletic director. Several Sports Illustrated magazine covers featuring Prescott decorate the school's football facility, and Arnett touts the now NFL quarterback’s achievements as proof of what’s possible for Mississippi State athletes.

But, truth be told, galas in metropolitans aren’t really Arnett’s thing.

"I could tell Zach was out of place," Selmon recalled earlier this summer.
