I'm not an avid croom hater...but this is a common misconception. Croom did run some guys off early but once he realized the pressure to win in 07 he wasn't near the disciplinarian that people wanted to believe. Some key guys were given some major slack which manifested into some of the things that triggered the 08 downfall.

Again, this is why I have respect for how Mullins ran the program. He was a real disciplinarian That held guy's accountable both on and off the field. He didn't use it as a crutch or an excuse.
