Another Sly Croom WTF from Athlon's....

[thunderclap]

looking at it yesterday, in the comments section from other coaches, when asked about the coaching change one opposing coach said:

"They were going in the right direction."

Who the hell do you think said that?

An opposing coach's right direction for State is an easy win every year. That is exactly where we were headed with Croom.

Same as how we thought Alabama was going in the right direction in 2000, Ole Miss in 2007, Florida in 2004....

But, my guess is Houston Nutt.

(Do they keep those comments anonymous?)

I think that's fairly common for other coaches to be lenient in judging fellow coaches. They understand that they are a bad season or two from the chopping block, so they all try to encourage patience when possible. I'd guess it was more to do with that line of thinking than the "we liked him because he was an easy win" line of thinking.

I got the impression Mark Richt thought Croom was role model type of coach.

Saban understands the business side of coaching all to well.

hire Sly as his offensive coordinator. I think we'd all be OK with that. And then his team can "go in the right direction." If that was the right direction, then we need to get on the wrong direction superhighway and floor it....
