    We could have had most of the Saban LSU staff on a silver platter in 2004. But LT in his infinite wisdom begged Croom over and over to take the job while Jimbo was ringing LT's phone off the hook b/c he actually wanted the job. Jimbo would have left us on probation, but we would have caught lightening in a bottle for a few years while ole miss had Coach O.

    Those years were some of the worst football i've ever seen. It was painful to watch. Heck even the year we went to the liberty bowl it was because we had a dang good defense. Croom was just not hc material.

    Didn't he "coach" some from a golf cart and fall asleep on a sofa while on a recruiting visit. The majority of his career in the NFL he was a RB coach. After we fired him, he returned to the NFL has a running backs coach. How hard is it to coach NFL running backs? He exceeded his ceiling at State. Had more guys in trouble than Jackie and Jackie never had players in a gunfight on campus. Croom addressed this in this tv show and blamed losing his best OL, CB as costing him a good year. Should have had real discipline instead of just talking it. He wanted the bama job and it showed.

    I know a guy that played for MSU when Croom was there. He said that he would install plays- including one where Pegues would run the ball - in practice. And then never run the plays in the game.

    Remember when he unleashed his mid or late season "secret weapon" Arceto Clark? Nice way to burn his redshirt.*** Some people should remain a NFL RB coach. Thanks for nothing LT.
