...to own a house that once belonged to a Mississippi State football coach, I submit to you the barely-lived-in estate of one Coach Will Friend.
If it's your dream...

I would've guessed you'd at least get a swimming pool in Starksville for close to a million bucks and no land.
Not enough brick for me. Needs more brick, maybe the roof could be brick.
Holy crap at the price of real estate there. Is that the going rate down there? That’s almost $1M for a cookie-cutter, builder grade 1 acre lot looking right into a neighbor’s kitchen. Shiver me timbers!
I wonder if football staff's just buy the old guy's houses whenever they move on? It would be interesting as well to know if anyone tracks unsold head coaches housing in college towns. Gotta figure there are more than a few that are way above what the normal market supports.
Yes, this is the reality of the real estate market in Starkville. The little zero lot line condos next to the high school are going for 400k.
There are at least 2 houses in my neighborhood in Starkville that have done this. One was passed from one defensive coordinator to the next and another is currently for sale by owner by our other o-line coach
I wonder if the Broyles Award nominee certificates come with the house?
How much does an OL coach at the 2nd to lowest paying school in the conference make? You can't, or shouldn't, buy that house with less that $400k+, right? I realize he likely got a low rate.
Starkville real estate is outrageous. Was looking to make the move but shhhhhhhiiiiiiittttt! It's higher than the coast. I guess retirees can do it after selling but it's ridiculous up there.
That house was on and off the market a few times the last few years though. Not surprised it was the head football coach that was able to come in and get that.
I started looking for a small house or condo about 5 years ago. Anything decent was $200k, and would be under contract in a couple days. I kind of hoped that all the new construction would help supply exceed demand, but it never did. We just gave up looking, especially after some posters pointed out how high taxes are.
At today's interest rates with 20% down your payment would be $5k +/- a month on that house. If you had $250k in annual income for a family of 4 that would still leave you with $10-11k a month after the mortgage for utilities, cars, entertainment, and food... that's plenty.
Actually better off than a family of four who makes $120k a year and has no mortgage. That would only leave $7-7.5k a month for expenses.

I posted a link to cohens crib when he left for Auburn. It wasn't this one. Unless he lived in this one before that one.
Gotcha. Looks almost identical. Cohens had a bunch of builder grade materials on a fancy floor plan like this one.
Cohen had a good bit more land on his place. But yes, the house looked like crap.
