    Anyone could win 10 with dancing zebra playing QB. He would rush for 3000 easy.

    Definitely would be a bitch to tackle. Gotta go low but he can hurdle like no other.

    I'd lay the 7.5 if I had to wager...
    Sell because Alabama is surrounded by more dancing zebras on their side (Dancing zebras = SEC officials)

    Croom never beat a Bama team that won more than 6 games

    Mullen never played a 6 win Bama team

    This. Bama when Croom was coach was closer to an arky or uk level than bama now.

    I refer to it as the Croom error, not the Croom era.

    That?s just not true. He was in no way what our program needed. I could go in there and clean the program up. Kicking off half of your team?s players is not hard. Anyone can do that. Getting the players that you decided to kick off the team to buy in instead of kicking them off and self imposing the death penalty would have been what we needed. Most any other competent coach would have done that. Croom was and is an idiot.

    The level of dysfunction that Croom inherited was about as bad as you could imagine.

    If your solution to the dysfunction is to start your first season with 53 scholarship players on the roster, you are not the one that needs to be hired for the job. Self imposing a 32 man scholarship limitation is never the answer.

    Croom was the worst hire in my memory for MSU. it was NOT his fault, it was the fault of a dumb assed weak AD. we did NOT have to go that dumbass route. we could NOT have been in that type of position to being forced into that type of ass kissing submission.

    I wished it would have worked out. would love to still have the guy at the helm with a strong SEC team. Loved the "Maroon is all that matters" shit. loved the fact we hired the first black HC in the SEC. Would have been awesome but it was an error from the get go and the sad part is that Templeton prolly knew but didn't give a 17. he was looking out for his rep as opposed to what he was hired to do which is make us competitive. Croom is someone I would love to have a beer with but he was and still is not HC material and 17ing Templeton knew it.

    Had a lot of thugs, he had to get rid of! I will be forever thankful to Coach Croom for making those boy's go to Church and I am sure some of those guys are thankful for that too.

    Good lord. I’m so thankful we don’t have people in charge at our university any longer that accept this mindset for our athletic programs. Hey, if I take them to church will you pay me millions of dollars too? Croom had plenty of thugs on his teams. Google the arrest reports.

    Hell Croom had more players arrested than Jackie. Instead of trying to help a kid. He just kicked Him off the team. Whatever the laziest way to do,it was the way it was done. There is not one thing positive about the Croom Error expect when it ended.

    Exactly....which is why I don't understand why Sherrill is still held up as some kind of savior and icon by some..plus he got us on probation. If his personal off field problems were a hindrance to his performing his job, he should have resigned or if not, should have been fired.
