.....fire Crxxm and hire a proven winner we're still going to struggle in some capacity in 2009. Our offense isn't going to make a dramatic turnaround in one year, which is what we'll need from them to make up for the losses we're going to see on the defensive side of the ball. That's not to forget that we'll likely still suck on special teams because of a lack of good kickers. We also lose our top return man.
I think alot of peoples point, & I know mine is that I would rather have a new coach that can actually coach "up" the current players, & get 110% out of them, than have the same old regime that appears to be coaching "down" what talent we do have, & is not putting them in a position to realize half of their potential.
I am to the point that I can take another losing season if I can see progress being made, our current & past 4 years offense have shown no progress, on the field. As much **** that gets delivered on this board, I know that there are many that know what I am talking about. We had a winning record last year w/ no offense, & no improvement this year.
I want a winner, not a loser & Croom is a loser. He simply is not a head coach, & I feel bad for him on this, b/c I think it was a dream of his, but facts are facts, & he appears to not be able to help what comes out of his mouth, & he is not a winner, & he will never lead us to being a winning team.
My dream for MSU football would be to go into the Alabama game (if played at the same time every year) w/ the opportunity to seal / take / stay in contention for the west. I think as MSU fans that is a reasonable goal, a high goal, but a reasonable one. I want us to be in the picture in the west until the very end.
Croom is not the man for this. He does not speak / act / coach like a winner. There is no reason to not cut ties today w/ Croom.
