ZERO head coaching experience, came from a mediocre school in Clemson. Had never even been to Mississippi before being hired.

10-22 (4-14)
14-19 (3-15)
7-8 (0-2) Currently riding a 15 game SEC losing streak and has't won a single road SEC game in his 2.5 years as HC. We also currently are last in nearly SEC offensive category and rank 349th out of 351 D1 schools in 3point shooting.

We missed out on now Wichita St. HC Gregg Marshall and landed Darrin Horn.

well sometimes hiring a brand new head coach isn't always a problem. but states talent pool is not very good right now but after poking at his recruits, i would say give rick 2 more years. One of his recruits is a dandy dozen in basketball from velma jackson who took down #1 recruit malik newmon and calloway powerhouse earlier this season

He's definitely bad. I would assume he's gone after this season.

No offense, but who could State have gotten that was better at the time? Saying that Mississippi State basketball was a dumpster fire after Stansbury's last season is putting it lightly. Nobody wanted to take the job and honestly, he was about as good of a hire as State could have hoped for. Sure he sucks but you couldn't have done better than him considering the state your program was in.

Pretty sad. I always liked Stansbury ,even though y'all were probably tired of him, he'd run his course in Starkville.

Gonna go with Dana Altman bc he accepted, flew to Fayetteville, did the hog call (albeit awkwardly), then said "frick this" and left the next day.
