Absolutely not.
Compare the number of arrests under a room to the other recent coaches. Dude also never took the blame for anything wrong with the team, and he refused to cut out his friend McCorvey despite never fielding a top 100 offense in five years of trying WHEN THERE WERE ONLY 120 FBS TEAMS!

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

McCorvey begged Croom to let him change the offense but he wouldn’t do it.

I didn't know that detail - the only bit I knew was that Byrne offered Croom one more year if he'd fire McCorvey and assumed the rest.
That makes Croom look worse. No one likes a boss who won't listen to their underlings regarding anything especially when the results are terrible.

Agreed

Crooms told Bob Davie he would retire before running a spread offense and Davie told the world during a TV broadcast.
Byrne told Crooms he had to fire Woody and hire a Spread OC. Crooms said no.
Byrne did what he had to do. When you refuse to change what is clearly not working- you are not a very good coach
Walk like the King or walk like you don't care who the King is

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.

Didn't he insist that Croom was the right hire in the documentary? LOL.
Thank God Zacharias hired Jackie and not LT.

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.
