Croom resigns

by Lynn Little

Mississippi State head football coach Sylvester Croom resigned Saturday morning after the Bulldogs lost to the Ole Miss Rebels in what was the worst lost scoring wise since 1971. The Bulldogs lost 0-45.

Croom came to Mississippi State five years ago and inherited a team that was on NCAA probation and a three year losing record. After three losing seasons, Croom led the Bulldogs to a winning season and a victory in the Autozone Liberty Bowl. This year the Bulldogs finished 4-8.

MSU athletic director Greg Byrne spoke to the media Saturday about Croom’s resignation.

Croom’s overall record at MSU was 21-38.
