Croom 2nd Most Relevent Person in NCAA Sports?
Alabama’s whiff is Mississippi State’s gain. How can you not root for Croom? A preacher’s son. One of Bear’s favorites. An NFL veteran assistant. And he can coach. The State program took on a more organized look the moment he arrived. In case you need to be reminded, it can be argued that Croom’s hiring is as historic as Selma, Brown vs. Board of Education and Little Rock Central. The shame of it is that it took until the 21st century for a black man to be hired to run an SEC program.
