My mistake then. You are right because I haven't followed the NFL in years. I don't give a 5hit about the draft or the NFL. I only watch college sports. AFA Croom being a terrible coach I guess you didn't read the rest of my post. On that we agree. On the redshirt program we disagree. I didn't realize some On here hated the man this much. Have a good day.
You didn’t realize that some hated him that much? There are like 25 usernames that make fun of him. The SPS magazine makes fun of him by sticking him in inconspicuous places. I realize I’m beating a dead horse here and I don’t mean to be so aggressive but the recent rewriting of Croom history makes me furious. I’m sure when he drives that golf cart into the Upper Room we will see all kinds of posts and mentions about how he turned our program around and did things the right way. Bullshlt, he was a lazy *** coach that somehow went to a bowl game thanks to Anthony Dixon, Derek Pegues, and Ed Orgeron. Then the next year opened the season with a loss in Ruston because his senior star DB was missing class.
This. There is really nothing positive we can attribute to the Croom Error.
I'm making no defense for Jackie. His last two years were as bad as anyone in our history. But Jackie never lost to Maine.
Mullens ego
Jackie left some talent but it was falling apart. Bad.
Offensive line is the only place Croom "Developed" any players. and I think most of that was making them run block for his dumbass 1970's pro style offense
Croom was an offensive coach that took us from a bottom 20 offense under Jackie's last 3 years, to a bottom 5 offense for 3 of his 4 years, ( the other 2 were still bottom 20.
If we'd made an average hire in 2003 or 2004, from coaches that WANTED TO COME HERE, we would be a decade ahead of where we are now.
Did you know? Croom coached 4 of our only 7 5 star composite recruits and only one of them (Norwood) got drafted. The other 3 that played under Mullen and Leach got drafted in the first 2 rounds with Simmons and Cross going first round, and Chris Jones being a top 100 NFL player
We will just have to disagree. Croom inherited a turd when he came to State. The inmates were in charge of the prison situation. Croom did bring stability with his program. He just couldn't coach. He owes all of his wins to his defensive coordinators who he repeatedly put in bad positions in games with his anemic offense.
The death penalty and us not having a program for a year would have done the same thing, and been less impactful than Crooms 5 years...
It’s is kinda nuts to think that Mullen isn’t a coach anymore. That guy was highly regarded at the time Florida picked him up and now he’s out of the business. We all know that he’s kind of an *** but I’ve seen plenty of other working coaches who are just as bad or worse.
Norwood was only our second best back in 2003. Croom ran off our best one.
As he should have.
Jackie stayed about a year and a half too long. Arguably 2 years too long.
Who was a huge POS. That’s not an opinion that’s a fact.
But he kicked him for not showing up to a meeting.... No for the fake bill's ... the fake bills were under Jackie..
I don't mean to defend Nick, But to show Croom's "Cleaned up our program" was not as helpful as it was sold.
Nick Turner should have been off the team.But he kicked him for not showing up to a meeting.... No for the fake bill's ... the fake bills were under Jackie..
I don't mean to defend Nick, But to show Croom's "Cleaned up our program" was not as helpful as it was sold.
He let him hang himself. He had already done enough damage by the time he got kicked off.But he kicked him for not showing up to a meeting.... No for the fake bill's ... the fake bills were under Jackie..
I don't mean to defend Nick, But to show Croom's "Cleaned up our program" was not as helpful as it was sold.
And he destroyed our program for 5 years...
