Croom & T-Buck ESPN Article

[THE Bruce Dickinson]

So true. That D outscored the O in some games. OM being stupid after they dominated us for 3.5 qtrs in egg bowl. Bama gifted us that game too on the 100yd pick 6. At Aub was same way. Give us credit we made the plays but that year was far from a dominating performance, particularly on O.

We had 217 yards of total offense at Auburn and still somehow won that game. I agree our D made some plays which I gave them credit for, but all in all we were not a good football team

I don't think it's obvious that a lack of black coordinators is indicative that racism is the problem anymore than having disproportionately few white players means racism is a problem. But it's certainly a fair question to ask.

Too many white MLB players - must be racism or lack of opportunity
Too many black NBA players - the best players should play
No black NFL quarterbacks - must be racism or lack of opportunity
No white NFL cornerbacks - the best players should play
All white company board room - look at the stunning lack of diversity
All black basketball team - they are a great team
I'm black and will vote for this candidate solely because he's black - strong and heroic
I'm white and will vote for this candidate solely because he's white - racist bigot
Some majority black teams wouldn't visit the White House because Trump was president - media makes them out to be heroes taking a stand
If some majority white teams wouldn't visit the the White House because Obama was president - they are racist bigots

You have to perform to get promoted. Are there some sterotypes or some discriminatory practices happening in life? I'm sure there is and it affects all races. It's part of life. Get over it. Croom is a whiner who didn't perform. That's really all there is to it. White or black or purple, he didn't get it done.

and how does a former offensive lineman land a job as a Running Backs Coach anyway .... what could he have possibly known or experienced as a lineman to qualify him for that position

How hard is it to be a RB coach in the NFL anyway? Most teams have very good RB'S. He was a career RB coach most of his time in the league. That coaching position would seen to be far down the NFL coaching totem pole to me.

Croom has done nothing but make excuses about why he was an awful head coach at Mississippi State. He's one of the worst head coaches to ever put on a headset in this conference. He needs to STFU and be grateful that our university overpaid his incompetent ass for half a decade.

Instead of Crooms giving props and thanks to MSU for giving him a chance, he talks about bama. Ungrateful SOB.

Not sure about ungrateful. But sure missed an opportunity to express gratitude. Disappointing.
