I've sometimes wondered what 2007 would have looked like had Jackie redshirted him instead of playing him a couple of games during a 2-10 season.Quote:

Ask Joey Sanders and Demario Bobo how "principled" he was lol. Total bullshit.Quote:

AgreedQuote:

Byrne did what he had to do. When you refuse to change what is clearly not working- you are not a very good coach
Croom never wanted the State job and it showed over and over again. He was probably looking for a way out and found one. We all know why they were determined to hire him.
Yep. If your coach looks down on your program it's not a good sign.Quote:

Good season yes. But the offense was 100% Croom and 100% terrible, outside of Dixon.
The Croom revisionist history is really one of the most confusing things to me about our fanbase.
We lost to MAINE.
End of discussion.
A lot of mismatching going on between the man that he is and the coach that he was.
He isn’t any better of a man than any other football coach we’ve had. The rest of the ones we have fired have generally not been too shitty of a human being to badmouth us after they left. Croom, after stealing millions of dollars from Mississippi State, had the audacity to talk bad about us after we had to watch the bullshit football he orchestrated for 5 years. This character schtick that people cling to is simply ridiculous.Quote:
