10. How he stayed in his golf cart most of the time during practices
9. How he laid down on some trunks and went to sleep before one Egg Bowl
8. "Mr. Character" had more players arrested in 5 years than Jackie Sherrill did in 13 years
7. He led the offense- and it's best finish in 5 seasons was 103rd in the country
6. He told the fans he didnt care what they thought
5. It was embarrassing to see him speak on TV
4. How he told Bob Davie he would retire before switching offenses
3. He never changed offensive coordinators in 5 years even though he never broke the top 100 in offense
2. He left Mullen 1 WR on scholarship and a walk-on QB as his starter after being at a school 5 seasons.

1. He fell asleep on a recruit's couch while one of the assistants was talking to the mother and family.

I could list another 20 things, but no need. The guy was a joke for a coach and probably the worst in SEC history.

Give Croom a good staff at a program that can recruit talent and he would be a great coach. I know that goes for most people but some schools have a ceiling for success and Miss State is just not a championship program.

Mullen is winning at State

Crooms was the joke of the SEC

A coach that falls asleep on a recruit's couch is never going to be a winner anywhere

Clearly we'd know nothing about a coach falling asleep during a key event involving his program...like the NFL Combine...

How is this racist in any way? Just because he is critical of the actions of a man does not make him a racist. In fact you sir are an ignorant SOB if you really think that.

Jackie won more than 8 games 4 times in 13 years at State. If you move the target to 7 games it is 7. He won 5 or less 6 times.

Jackie was 75-75-2 at State.

Confirm what? I've heard about all of those things Coonass listed. In fact, Shane Beamer is the one who was with him when he fell asleep.

It really was a fluff piece and I felt its only point was to try and make me feel bad for croom, Tom Rinaldi should've been narrating it was that bad. And after it all don't feel bad for the guy, he was not a good coach, DWI
