STARKVILLE — While
the rumors regarding Mis-

Joe Moorhead and the va-
cant head coaching job at
Rutgers have begun to heat
up of late, those within the
walls of the Bulldog pro-
gram are not concerned.
Speaking with the media
Tuesday, a number of play-
ers were asked about Moor-
head’s status with MSU and
what he has said regarding
the rumors.
“It’s funny to him if any-
thing,” freshman quarter-
back Garrett Shrader said.
“He’s not leaving an SEC
West program, and he’s
told me that multiple times.
‘We’re going to win an SEC
championship here’ — that’s
his message to me.”
“There’s always going to
be outside noise — that’s
just the world we live in
these days,” junior running
back Kylin Hill added. “I’m

body is too focused on that.
