    If ray is croom 2, then you guys should be happy. Croom cleaned up our program and left mullen with some decent talent to win with

    First, I've never called Ray Croom 2. Second, I don't personally believe that to "clean up the program" that every decent player that was there before you arrived has to be run off. It just forces you to take a MUCH longer path back to being competitive. Like I said, Steele could have made a world of difference to this team but it seems Ray didn't care because he wasn't his guy.

    Didn't Steele fail multiple drug tests or am I thinking of someone else?

    Wendell Lewis supposedly did, and I don't know that Steele was a choir boy but when the issue of him wanting to redshirt instead of playing on the bad knee his true SR year came up there was never talk that he was being cut loose because of anything other than Ray didn't want to keep him on scholarship that long.
