Croom got jilted by bama and the whole world praised Croom and squaked constantly about what a great coach he would be and he should be the coach at bama. Templeton bought it and I bought it. But worse, Croom bought the hell out of it. Templeton begged Croom to come in and promised him all the time in the world because the world told us how far the Bulldogs program had fallen. Probation, Jackiethedevil, MSU, Starkville, no money, yadayadayada. So, Croom has zero sense of urgency and believes that everything he touches will turn to gold (hey the football pundits said so) and he recruits like it. Hey, he has all kinds of time. We should have picked up on his common sense level when he didn't use all of his early national publicity to his advantage (or maybe he thought recruits would come to him, either way mistakes were made that won't be overcome). We have read rumors here that he is lazy. When I look at how he has recruited and handled staff changes when they were needed, I saw what was possibly a pattern of laziness. Another thing is that the mule has a burr in his *** b/c he was only given one shot at being an OC in the NFL and I think that is part of his stubbornness to scrap that ****** offense of his. I sat this season out after no changes were made to an offense that was absolutely miserable. Boy am I glad I did. Now, it is too late. There is no place to go from here. This is going to be like the two years of public ncaa investigation with jackie. Recruiting will be extremely hard. I could keep going, but am tired of typing.</p>
