Croom was a groundbreaking hire, according to USA Today. That's all that matters.

Yeah, Mississippi State was the first SEC program with the courage to hire an african american coach.

Thankfully, State brought in an AD who had the courage to be the first SEC program to fire an african american coach. He received a lot of unfair criticism for that, but it was the right thing to do.

Croom was a good man. He was just stubborn as hell, and woefully inept.
