re: Croom owned Bama. Why didn't he succeed more at MSU?

Seems like he was building a solid program. Why didn't he survive the first rough patch?

Are you high?

As bad as State has been in their history of football, the Croom era was the worst. Maybe a mid 60's run in Diamondawgs' days is up there. <---to DD.
think about that for a moment.

Croom looked forward to the Bama game only And let it be known. Those State teams fed off that. You could tell how they played against Bama. We're just lucky those two games came at the end of Shula and early Saban.

I could go on and on about his coaching, his recruiting, he field decisions, his preparations, and on and on. For someone with an NFL offensive background, it was downright dreadful. Square peg round hole game after game. Ellis Johnson saved his arse. He was so out of his element with recruiting.
