What do you think now? What would you have done if we had lost to Maine, like MSU did tonight? I know that MSU is no BAMA, but Maine? Things must be in VERY bad shape in stark vegas.

Personally, I think it is time to give AD Moore credit for his leadership in hiring the right person for the job. Sometimes you just have a gut feeling about someone and that is probably why AD Moore hired Coach Shula. We are seeing the benefits this year of hiring the right person. JMHO!

Weren't people saying that about Shula after last years loss to N. Illinois? Croom will be good for MSU, but it takes time to turn around a struggling program.

There is a fine line between being a die-hard fan and just another A-hole critic...

N. Illinois was a top 25 Team when we played them. After a grulling game with #1 with a close game.

The cupboard was bare for Croom when he arrived at State. Not so at Bama for CMS. Trying to compare their head coaching acumen at this point in time is premature, imo....

So he lost a game. Now he is a bad coach? What, he forgot everything in the past few weeks?

Come on guys. Give Croom a chance. He stands for everything that is good about college football...

he is a great coach. whether he'll make an great head coach is yet to be seen. but a sec team should never lose to a 1AA team.

Nor should they lose to the likes of Central Florida or N. Illinois...or other directional schools for that matter.

Can we just support the coach we have? Im tired of posts on Croom, Price, and Frannie.

Also just out of curiosity are there and stats anyone can come up with showing how successful "Bears Boys" have been as HC's?

I know of:
Gene Stallings (played for Bear at Tex A&M)
Ray Perkins
Mike DuBose

Who else and how successful?

Northern Illinois was ranked in the top 25 last season. Hardly the same as losing to a Div II team.

I think we got the right man as coach. But i really don't think Sherrill left Croom with a lot to work with either. MSU is kink of the red headed stepchild, even in Mississippi.

No matter what the pedigree you still have to prove you can coach. That was a shocker! Maine is coming off a 6-5 season too.
True. Just a dark day for Croom; Shula has had his and will likely have more.

I for one hope both do well. Croom and Shula have both contributed much to the University of Alabama and Crimson Tide. I am for stopping trying to pit them agianst each other (until we play MSU); then may Shula kick his a$$.
