It's worse than Crooms in my mind. At least Croom had a good season. And Croom took over a far worse situation.

Not to mention what makes this situation worse is that Mississippi State hired Felker over Spurrier.

I doubt many coaches beyond Croom wanted to take over a job to work under Templeton following a nuclear bomb being dropped on State by the NCAA.

If we are going by facts and not unpopular opinions of the coaches then how can it not be Brad Scott?

He was absolutely the worst D1 coach ever to have existed. He was so bad he left just the right players on the roster with chemistry enough to where Lou Holtz couldnt win 1 game the following year after taking over in 1999.

Brad Scott made some damn good Heinz ketchup commercials though....."its even good on tigers"!! lol

Rockey was the typical State hire. Homeboy who was only about 33 years old with no coordinator experience. He had only been a position coach. He came on the cheap also. I don’t think people realize how little the State administration cared about football, oh until around 2008 when Byrne was hired.

We told Jimbo Fisher no to hire Croom. Still makes me sick to my stomach. The ineptness of Miss State leadership before Byrne is mind-blowing. We have turned down Steve Spurrier and Jimbo Fisher to hire Rockey Felker and Sylvester Croom. And had it not been for Dr Z stepping in- Templedick would have hired Bobby Wallace over Jackie Sherrill.

Let that sink in
