Head Coach Sylvester Croom (PDF).Pdf 8 hen Mississippi State began its search in October 2003 for the 31st head coach in its long football history, the university sought an enthusiastic teacher with the energy to rebuild the Bulldog football program and an individual with an attention to detail who demands the Wdiscipline needed to bring structure to a vast organi- zation. On all accounts, MSU found its man when it hired Sylvester Croom on Dec. 1, 2003. “Sylvester Croom met all of the criteria we laid forth for the selection of a new head football coach at Mississippi State,” Director of Athletics Larry Templeton said. “We went after the best football coach, and we’re confident we found that individual in Sylvester Croom.” Since his hiring, Croom has undertaken the daunting task of constructing the foundation upon which the Bulldog football program will be rebuilt. There is little question that progress toward that goal has been achieved. In the three years since being named to head MSU’s football fortunes, the traits that made Croom the best coach for State have come to life. Croom became an in-demand speaker at alumni and booster events because of his forthright approach to directing the pigskin program. But his non-stop energy on the banquet circuit was only exceeded by the fervor with which he began shaping the Bulldog football operation. He estab- lished new offensive and defensive systems, paying particular attention to an attack which mirrored what he taught as a National Football League assistant. And despite the fact he had been away from the college game for 17 years as a pro coach, he has been unwavering in his demand for student-athlete accountability, on the field and off it. His first two Bulldog teams finished 3-8, a record he has been quick to point out is not acceptable at MSU. That said, the final marks were still one-win improvements over the team he inherited. His first team posted the school’s first victory over a ranked team in four years, a 38-31 win over then-No. 20 Florida, and his second squad captured the Egg Bowl Trophy for the first time in four years. His third team concluded the year 3-9, but lost four games by a field goal each, three of those being SEC contests. The Bulldogs were just one made play away in each of those games from a winning season and a post-season bowl bid. Even before coaching his first football contest on the Starkville campus, Croom was recognized nationally in 2004 for his impact on the college game. Dennis Dodd ranked him #2 on CBS Sportsline’s list of the 50 most relevant people in college football for the 2004 season. In so doing, Dodd said: “The State program took on a more organized look the moment he arrived.” Sports Illustrated rated him the 31st most influ- ential minority in all of sports. “In Mississippi and beyond, his impact has already been profound,” SI noted. Just this past February, Croom was invited to the 9 ven before coaching his first football contest on the Starkville campus, Croom was recognized nationally in 2004 for his impact on the college Egame.

  • David Cutcliffe Named Walter Camp 2013 Coach of the Year
    For Immediate Release: December 5, 2013 Contact: Al Carbone (203) 671-4421 - Follow us on Twitter @WalterCampFF Duke’s David Cutcliffe Named Walter Camp 2013 Coach of the Year NEW HAVEN, CT – David Cutcliffe, head coach of the Atlantic Coast Conference Coastal Division champion Duke University Blue Devils, has been named the Walter Camp 2013 Coach of the Year. The Walter Camp Coach of the Year is selected by the nation’s 125 Football Bowl Subdivision head coaches and sports information directors. Cutcliffe is the first Duke coach to receive the award, and the first honoree from the ACC since 2001 (Ralph Friedgen, Maryland). Under Cutcliffe’s direction, the 20th-ranked Blue Devils have set a school record with 10 victories and earned their first-ever berth in the Dr. Pepper ACC Championship Game. Duke clinched the Coastal Division title and championship game berth with a 27-25 victory over in-state rival North Carolina on November 30. Duke (10-2, 6-2 in the Coastal Division) will face top-ranked Florida State (12-0) on Saturday, December 7 in Charlotte, N.C. The Blue Devils enter the game with an eight-game winning streak – the program’s longest since 1941. In addition, the Blue Devils cracked the BCS standings for the first time this season, and were a perfect 4-0 in the month of November (after going 1-19 in the month from 2008 to 2012). Cutcliffe was hired as Duke’s 21st coach on December 15, 2007. Last season, he led the high- scoring Blue Devils to a school record 410 points (31.5 points per game) and a berth in the Belk Bowl – the program’s first bowl appearance since 1994.
