The Landlord of Kyle Field: Mississippi State offensive coordinator Jaleel Mosley's got next
Zane Guerra
November 12, 2029

"We're probably going to need one more score."

That's what Mississippi State offensive coordinator Jaleel Mosley told true freshman quarterback Brett Mixon as he reached the sideline, the pyrotechnics still going as Texas A&M celebrated the pick-six, drawing them within two possessions of the Bulldogs after entering the quarter trailing by twenty-four points.

Mississippi State would go three-and-out. Texas A&M would go down the field and score eight points, making it a three point game with three minutes left in the game, having scored thirty-one unanswered points.

You couldn't tell from the sidelines as Mosley and Mixon sat side-by-side, like they always do between drives. The only variance is the number of tablets. Sometimes just one, Mosley showing Mixon something. Sometimes they'll each have a tablet.

"I think we had three at some point against [Connecticut]," Mosley says with a laugh, "I love those things."

He also loves coaching young quarterbacks. A skill he mostly developed out of necessity. As a young assistant, Mosley cut his teeth in the coaching ranks at the knee of some of college football's brightest minds, serving on staffs that were headed by Hal Mumme and Mike Leach. There wasn't going to be much facetime with the starting quarterback or opportunities to speak up and share his ideas during offensive meetings. Instead, Mosley spent most of his early years charting plays, doing the dirty, mundane and logistical work that no one wants to do. And working with players that no one has time to work with.

That's how Mosley describes himself during his playing day. A reserve quarterback at New Mexico State, Mosley remembers feeling forgotten during his time there due to the time constraints of practice. There are limited reps to go around and the few reps he did get weren't going to be dissected. Once he began coaching, Mosley made it a point to work with the younger guys, even the ones that he knew, and even sometimes they knew, were unlikely to ever touch the field.

"Development is probably the most rewarding aspect of being a coach," Mosley adds, "Obviously, we want to win. We want to score points, break records, all of those things but seeing a guy come in and really helping him reach his potential, whether that be reaching the NFL, playing college football or just being a scholarship player, I think that's the thing we cherish the most as coaches."

Mosley had been coaching for nearly ten years, mostly an off-field assistant, before getting his first break at Incarnate Word as a quarterback coach, reuniting with Eric Morris who was the receiver's coach at Washington State in 2012 when Mosley was also there. The two kept in contact so when Morris was hired by the FCS program, he made a call to Mosley, who is from the San Antonio era.

The Cardinals would start a true freshman in Jon Copeland, improving from a one-win team to six wins but it would be in 2020, during a COVID shortened season, that Mosley truly developed a rapport with a young quarterback, a trait that's followed him since.

Cam Ward was an unknown, unranked and overweight Wing-T quarterback when he got to IWU. That didn't deter Mosley, who quickly took a liking to him.

"He asked a lot of questions," Mosley remembers of his first interactions with Ward, "You could tell, coming from an offense where he wasn't throwing the ball much, he was just so raw and he wanted to learn as much as he could. We gelled right away because I was a young coach and I wanted to learn all those things too so we meshed perfectly."

Ward would win the starting job and go on to throw for 2,260 yards and an FCS-leading 24 touchdowns against four interceptions with two rushing touchdowns in six games during the shortened 2020–21 FCS season, and he won the Jerry Rice Award as the most outstanding freshman at the FCS level.

Mosley would coach Ward for four seasons, two at Incarnate and then two more at Washington State.

"He was just so calm and cool and collected," Mosley says of Ward, "When he made a mistake, he wouldn't have much of a reaction. We'd just go to the tablet, see what happened and then cool, next play. I learned a lot from him as a coach, coaching him, being around him."

It's why with 100,000 screaming fans that came back to life in the fourth quarter, Mosley was calm, cool and collected.

A throw to the flats. A broken tackle. Seventy-yards. The biggest play in program history since Dak Prescott's 56-yard touchdown run against LSU in 2014. And all it got from Mosley was a simple raising of his arms and going back to the tablet.

"He doesn't really get too up or too down," Mixon describes Mosley, both in his helmet on the C2P communication or on the sidelines, "If I make a mistake, he'll just tell me what I did wrong. A lot of times he'll just give me that look and I'll be like 'yeah, I was late there' and we'll just leave it at that. He pays a lot of attention to detail throughout the week but once the game is going, it's more about next play up. The play is over with, we can't fix what we've already done so let's focus on what's next."

Mixon's calm demeanor instills a lot of confidence in his young quarterback and so is his growing resume. Saturday night wasn't his first win at Kyle Field and it arguably wasn't even his biggest. Two seasons ago, in his first game as Texas State's offensive coordinator, he took down No. 6 Texas A&M in a massive upset. It was the college football world's introduction to Austin Carlisle who would go on to be a Heisman finalist as a do-it-all playmaker after being Mosley's starter at UL Monroe the season prior.

Carlisle would follow Mosley to Starkville where the two would break records last season on their way to another trip to New York as a Heisman finalist before being drafted in the first round by the Arizona Cardinals. That's three NFL quarterbacks under Mosley, with Texas State's Brad Jackson being the third.

Mixon, who leads the country in completions, yards and touchdown, is well on his way to being the fourth. And Mosley appears to be on his way to being the next head coach of a football program.

"I try not to focus on those things," says Mosley, "I tell the guys in the room all the time that the two people that everyone has the most to say about on a football team is the quarterback and the offensive coordinator so I'm only like nine quarters away of everyone hating me and wanting me out of here. I keep my head where my feet are at and I'm loving where I'm at."

Mississippi State's administration will tell you Mosley isn't going anywhere. Mosley will tell you the same thing, and he may even believe it. But two seasons, two quarterback breakthroughs, and now two wins at Kyle Field as an underdog is the kind of resume that belongs to a head coach.

For now, the only thing Mosley seems interested in is next week's install. The carousel can wait. Third-and-6 can't.
