The only message Croom sent his players by not going for it was that he didn't have faith in them. The gambles Miles takes work because our players know that he thinks they can get the job done! I know what happened last year but he had nothing to lose and all the momentum going into the half. IMHO, firing him would be the worst thing State could do!

A little education about the job Croom has done at State:

1. Croom has stated many times he controls the offense- and on his watch State is the only team in Division-1 football that has ranked below 100 in offense the last 5 years.

2. Jackie left him with 4 future NFL players on his roster, yet he lost to Maine and won only 9 games his 1st 3 years.

3. He preaches character and discipline, yet has had 3 times as many players arrested in 4 years as Jackie did in 13.

4. He is the worst game manager in all of the BCS conferences. In a close game at Georgia, he once went for 4th and 2 from the Georgia 42, then punted on 4th and 1 from the Georgia 30. Who punts from the opponents 30?

Not to mention the 4th and 15 against Auburn

5. After losing to Tulane, he blatantly told the fans to go to hell and he didnt care what they thought.

He is a joke of a coach. State fans have figured out that all of you say nice things about him because you guys want us to keep him. If you guys like him so much, why dont one of you hire him? He would make a great coach leading the LSU program wouldnt he?

As to our success, under Jackie we were the winningest SEC West team from 1996-2000. (And dont give me the cheating crap, 2 years of hounding by the NCAA and they found 2 violations. We werent doing anything that isnt done at every SEC school) State can be a very competitive team that goes to a bowl 3 out of every 5 years.

We deserve better and we will get there when this clown is fired.
