Croom resigns

[lovetthog1]

I think Miss St would be a poor choice for Gus. If I were a young and promising coordinator I wouldnt touch that one. It's a fast track to a dead end career. Of course thats just my opinion. Honestly though I am just glad to have Petrino. Arkansas has the facilities, the fanbase and now the coach and soon will have the players to be elite.

think charlie strong finally gets his shot as a HC?

I hope Charlie gets a shot, but I think MSU is going to focus on an Offensive minded coach.

Croom was killing Nutt recruiting instate players. The possibility of Nutt coming in and taking some of MSU's more highly rated recruits is sickening.

Yes.  Because it would mean Nutt coming out smelling like a rose YET AGAIN, in his career without having to do any significant work. 
Hopefully their recruits will stick around at least long enough to see who the new guy will be.

It just makes me want to puke though thinking about how the Dork and his staff could benefit from this.

nutt couldn't keep the best players in the state of arkansas with no other major school, what makes you all think these kids will stay in mississippi especially when TN, AL and LA are all close in proximity.

Don't give Nutt's 2009 recruiting class too much credit yet with Croom gone.  You never know who might end up there and salvage a decent class like BP did for us last year.  Anything's possible.

Please welcome back to the SEC, Mr. Terry Bowden.  (If he decides to stoop this low.)

Miss State is a thing of the past, never to be heard from again. Jackie, the cheater was their last hu-rah!

Outside a few years with Jackie, did they ever have a past?  How we lost to that program pisses me off!  Thanks Tejada!

I have a lot of respect for Croom.  He was rebuilding Mississippi State the right way.  I think the step back this year was what did it.  MSU is a hard job for anyone to turn around.  I hope he lands on his feet somewhere.

Wow. I can see why, but still sucks.

What annoys me about Croom retiring (I thought he was getting that program turned around honestly) is that immediately the ONLY thing that is teh story is the small amount of back coaches, and how there should be more hired. Not about Croom. Not about the politics of that situation, but how black coaches are underrepresented (which they are but I mean, enough already...make a Rooney rule and move on. sheesh.)

What's Tubberville's contract say about coaching another west team?  Coaching at MSU would be like a lifetime contract for him.

Don't know but I would bet his name comes up. That would be a good hire for them and absolutely kill Nutt sacs recruiting in Miss.

Great point.  it's all about wins and losses. Nobody cares these days what color or ethnic background you come from.  I think the biggest problem is the lack of minority coordinators at high profile schools and mid major head coaches because that's where you get the head coaches.

My guess is Jeff Bower. former southern Miss. coach  had a great run there. also has all kinds of ties to the area.

[Sivad]

He probably couldn't stand living in the same state as the "Nutt Family".
I felt the same way.
