Former MSU HC quotes or one liners
Just thinking about a few from some past coaches. I'll start a few
JWS "Mississippi"
JWS "that is a big, big plus"
JWS "#3 has an ankle"
Croom "the only color that matters is maroon" great line for the moment he was in, like him or not as HC.
Leach gotta have some he says alot idk? Anyone?

No doubt right up there as the most notable negative quotes in MSU history.

the first one, he never did it.
The second - we did.
The third - we did.
This guy had a stupid ass saying for everything. Not cool like Ted Lasso. Just pathetic, cause as we found out, he didn't subscribe to any of them.

I think he got soft between Fordham and us. There's no way he had the same coaching philosophy at Fordham and had that kind of success. No way.

Yeah, it was a nice quote, I suppose...but I do wish other things also mattered to him....
...such as fielding a competent offense, QB development, giving a shit about recruiting, bringing in a competent OC, not burning RS's in meaningless moments, caring more about MSU than the ghost of Bear Bryant, self reflection, being a leader, taking the blame, not throwing your players under the bus every chance you got, not throwing the university under the bus when they fired you after 4 years of faithful ineptitude, etc., etc.
I'm glad he opened the doors for all the other black HC's to be hired that followed...but I wish we could've hired one of them instead, lol.

Agree did not like how Croom finished. He really threw MSU under the bus. We have a bad coach a chance for 5 years, Joe only got 2. He should be grateful. Croom seems like a good guy but like Moorhead, neither were ready for the pressure cooker.
-
"I'm not sure what happened today." Croom said flippantly post game 2008 Egg Bowl. I knew he was toast at that moment.
"We gonna win the SEC.". Emory Bellard 1985? SEC Media day. He was laughed at later but he meant well.

"I looked at their film and knew we were gonna lose this game." - Croom after losing to Maine.
"Zzzzzzzzzzzz" - Croom asleep on a recruit's sofa.

Lol, a couple of zingers for sure.
There should honestly be zero nostalgia directed at that man on our parts (all the teams that skull ****ed our brains in sure did love him, though...). He was a self-serving douche that never thought we were good enough for him. He never took responsibility for anything, and burned every bridge on his way out the door. Screw him.

Yep. Couldn't have been said any better.

Agree with that, he thought he was better than us but he ain't. MSU made Mullen.

Conversation on live radio years ago when fans could call in right after the game.
This was after we laid an egg at Auburn one afternoon.
Caller: Coach, I just want you to know that State teams of the past wouldn't have gone in and played like that.
Jackie: I don't give a shit about how past teams played.
Caller2: Coach, did I hear you say you didn't give a shit how we played?
Jackie: No. I said said I didn't give a shit how past teams played!
Me and my roommate were staring at the radio laughing our asses off!

That call in show was pure GOLD.

I don't have the exact quote, but Brewer called JWS a "habitual liar" and Jackie responded with something to the effect of, "He can't spell habitual."
