He did lose to Croom once. He also beat Croom‘s team half to death his last year at LSU and smoked him in Croom’s final year in 08 too.
A reminder that Croom never had a winless SEC season

I have re-read my post several times and fail to see where I mentioned anything about fring him. Where did you see that?
That said if he continues to do stupid Sh-it like he did yesterday several times, I don't see any future for him as a head coach. He's got 5 more conference games, we'll see
That was more of a general question aimed at those that do. As some have answered.
Yeah if he has many more games like he did against FL, he won't HC anywhere. Once Lebby watches film, he'll recognize his mistakes.
To put this in perspective, Croom coached 59 games, and went 21-38. In his 59 games, we were shut out 7 times, and scored in single digits another 9 times. So in 16 of his 59 games, we scored single digits or got shutout. That is 27% of his games! In over a quarter of the games that idiot coached, we scored single digits or no points! Anybody comparing Lebby to Croom really has no idea how hapless we were during those years.
So? Croom never scored more than 38 points in a game either. These two coaches are not the same.
Ending the losing streak would be great, and beating Texas would be nice, but not some transcendent accomplishment. Not this year, anyway. I stand by what I said….if we beat Texas and don’t beat anyone else, I could honestly go either way on Lebby.
Outside of breaking the SEC losing streak, no, not this season.
Beating Texas would be huge for Mississippi State football. You win, you keep hope you can win one more and get bowl eligible. Which again, would be huge accomplishment for this season, for recruiting momentum and fan engagement going into next year.
If we lose to Texas, I have a feeling you are looking at 8 straight loses to end the season and everyone calling for Lebby's head in December. No momentum in recruiting or in fan support and ticket sales next season.

Lil ole msu, looking at nothing but the name on the jersey
It’d be a bigger deal to lose that game. But Lebby’s proven to be able to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Ok so let’s apply that philosophy here. Say we play the exact same game against Texas as we just did against Florida, up until the final minute.
But instead of doing the most literal application ever of “pre-shítting” the game away with 30 seconds left, we actually get to attempt the very make-able FG as the clock runs out.
So, Ferrie makes the FG, it’s this massive program altering win, but if he misses we’re automatically staring 4-8 in the face?
I just don’t subscribe to that very binary approach. Unless we just come out and either beat the hell out of Texas, or they beat the hell out of us….it’s just another data point to add to the other 13 data points we already have for P4 games under Lebby.
Neither of those two possibilities seems particularly likely to me, from what I’ve seen out of both teams this season. I expect a fairly close game just like ASU, UF, and Tennessee, where regardless we will be able to say “if these 1, 2, or 3 things had gone differently, the opposite outcome occurs”.
So strictly from a win-or-lose perspective, this game is not a big deal in the grand scheme of things unless we just come out and destroy them, or get destroyed. Otherwise, the narrative ain’t changing much
If he makes it, the "post-shitting" of the win starts immediately.
As far as I’m concerned, beating Texas University in anything, any year is a reason to celebrate.
Add the Manning multiplier
If beating Texas is no big deal then some of you clowns just took a lot of the shine off of the Jackal’s career.
And don’t start spouting BS that Texas 1 year removed from the playoffs and preseason #2 is in any way comparable to Texas coached by David McWilliams and John Machovik.

I hear you, and no SEC wins in 2 years is painful, but that is just a low blow. Like really low.
I think this Lebby team would kick the horse sh^t out of a Croom team.
Croom era was when I stopped buying season tickets (partially because/c of Croom, but mainly due to an extremely large dose of life), and all I remember was that we were so uncompetitive with Croom players that I was worried people would seriously get hurt
Well we did have a receiver snap his leg on the Ole Miss turf as we got shut out and put up 24 total yards in a regulation college football game. Can’t get much worse than that.
