  • 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.
