I don't care if that's true or not, that's hilarious.

[QUOTE=Leeshouldveflanked;1251770]We almost missed the opening kick at La Tech because Croom was reading the paper at the hotel and all the assistants were scared to say anything[/QUOTE
Hahahhaha is this true?
What difference does it make. Leach is here now !!
Those guys drafted weren't Moorhead's kids. Dixon was as good or better than any RB on our roster now. That 4 star QB will be sitting behind Costello or transferring out. This true freshmen WRs are probably better than what started here last year. Our WR talent was rock bottom. Croom didn't leave an empty roster. Mullen damn sure didn't.
We've had three horrible HCs since Bellard retired and two good ones.
[QUOTE=hailstate17;1251773]I assume this is true, as I have heard this story from more than one source...Croom didnt want to play the game in the first place... The plan was for team to fly down to game and back same day... if I am not mistaken the team stayed in Columbus Ms, had the pre-game meal in Columbus, after the meal everyone is ready to go to plane at GTR and Croom is sitting there reading the paper... finally someone says coach, we have to go now...team rushes to GTR plane hauls ass to Shreveport and busses haul ass to Ruston... After getting to Ruston, they hastily get dressed in less than ideal locker room and rush out to field way behind schedule for pregame warmups...get ass handed to them by La Tech buss back to Shreveport and fly back to GTR.... such was the days of LT and Croom.
I will put it to you this way: What was the maddest you ever got about a Moorhead loss? Some will say 2018 Kentucky or Florida, some will say 2019 Auburn or Tennessee, some will say the 2019 Louisville game. All rightfully infuriating, yes, but all losses to teams that were at least decent and in most cases quite good.
Now let's take a look at Croom's Greatest Hits:
Maine
18 point loss to 2-9 Vandy
14 point loss to 7-5 UAB
17 point loss to 4-7 Ole Miss
12 point loss to 6-6 Houston
Home loss to 4-8 Tulane
Scored 10 points against 3-9 UAB only to escape with an OT win
3 point loss to Georgia where we punted from their 30
And that's just the first three years... He had a freaking 9-25 (4-20) record and we gave him two more years. He should've been gone long before he lost in Ruston, long before the 3-2 game, long before Ole Miss had more points than we had yards of total offense in his last Egg Bowl.
Moorhead sucked... but he could coach circles around Croom.
Moorhead recruited better.
And Kylin Hill is a better RB than Dixon.
Mullen Recruited all of those Freshman WR, none of them would have come to room shit coast offense...
Never said Moorhead was a good head coach, but Croom was the worst we have had, probably ever.
Some of y'all need to watch some of those Croom era games.
That Tulane game in 06' was the final straw for me. The school was barely removed a year from Katrina, and barely had a football team. The final score was 32-29 but they totally skull drug us the entire game. It was pathetic. I think we were losing something like 32-6 entering the 4th quarter. They probably had 50 total players.
You're delirious if you think Hill better than Dixon. We'll see this year but he ain't been so far.
Croom recruited a lot of the guys on the 2010 team.
Not saying Croom is better ... it's really hard to tell. I do think Croom may have won more games with the 2018 team tho ... although he wouldn't have had Shoop as DC which is why we even won 8.
Moorhead is the better coach.
Croom did a better job here with what he inherited.
And why do our fans insist on running down the 2007 team? Last time I checked playing good defense and special teams was part of the game. I could make an argument that 1980 was just as lucky with their multiple goal line stands. Or half the 1999 season.
Which is better dying form C-19 or the Flu?
