He complimented him only on his ability to coach RB's.

I nearly lost my beer when chucky said croom is helping a heismann trophy winner

He complimented him only on his ability to coach RB's. I think he made it clear that he limited his compliment to RB's.

He did, after a pause. He said something like "Croome has been a success everywhere he's been" ... then a pause, as if correcting himself ... "with running backs."

He was checking the notes to make sure he didn't give extra credit.

Croom may be a terrible head coach, but the man knows how to coach running backs. Just odd that his whole career is a running backs coach in the NFL except for the five years he was our head coach. Quite the outlier.

Yeah, as bad as his career was at MSU, he still manged to produce a couple of NFL running backs out of it.

Obviously Mullen and knox are doing pretty good coaching our RBs this year.

What am I missing? Jerious Norwood was hardly boosted by Croom.

Croom was able to pick the best of the top 3 heralded RB's in Dixon, but used him very poorly - almost always straight up the gut for a couple of yards. Guess we had Ducre transfer from Tulane, but not sure of his NFL creds.
I assume the Vic Ballard, being from JC post Dixon was a Mullen pick up.

Either way... Dixon, ok. but I'm not putting his success on Croom.
