Irregardless of his future win/loss record at Mississippi State, I think they got the best man for the job. Every change he has made in Starkville has been for the betterment of the players as people, students, and athletes.

Many of you commented on earlier threads when coach Croom was hired. I thought it would be nice to update you on his progress.

Mississippi State is lucky to have Coach Croom. I know we'll miss him here in Green Bay. He's a man of character and will bring so much to the program.

Ditto that Woof! :^)

Coach Croom seems like a good, solid man. I think he'll be a breath of fresh air for the program. May not be reflected in the record early on, but he'll get it back up to where it should be.
