Mississippi State coach Zach Arnett dropped an F-bomb in his postgame interview and immediately regretted it

We love a good unfiltered interview where the interviewee forgets they’re actually being interviewed, and that’s exactly what we got after Mississippi State staved off a near-collapse to beat Arizona in overtime Saturday night.

Bulldogs head coach Zach Arnett could finally breathe once the game went final and let his relief show maybe a little too much during his postgame interview on SEC Network, casually letting an F-bomb fly on national TV.

I’ll be honest. I don’t understand the root of the banter between Arnett and interviewer Cole Cubelic, but it doesn’t make this slip-up and Arnett’s immediate face of regret any less funny.

That’s the face of a man who wished he could just vanish from the cameras — or “scramble” — in that moment. But ultimately, it just made for funny TV. And more importantly, Arnett’s team got the win.
