I think it's karma for everyone that told us how nice a guy he was and then laughing when they turned around.
And then had Bama hired him instead of Shula, he would have ruined their program.
I think this is all a Bama/ SEC conspiracy. They used our impending NCAA probation as a bargaining chip with LT to get us off lightly and in turn they would place a "Bama agent"- Croom, who obviously talked a little too much about the Bear- at MSU. Croom would then do things that no one could fathom, except maybe Les Miles- like punt from the 30, and start a midget at QB. Croom in turn would "save" his beloved program by beating Shula causing a domino effect that led to the hire of Saban.
Of course, we never would have had to hire Croom if Jackie and Kevin Fant had not beaten Eli Manning in the 2001 Egg Bowl, causing Ole Miss to freak out and launch their investigations.
So, it's actually Xenareb's fault.
