MSU Athletic directors....

[thekimmer]

On T&L this morning they were talking about the MSU athletic directors and suggested that Charlie Carr succeeded Charlie Shira as AD. I was one of the old geezers yelling at my device.

For the record. There were two ADs between Shira and Carr. Bob Tyler from 76-79 and Carl Maddox 79-84. Carr was only at State for a couple of years and I believe he was fired after of some kind of issue but he did leave a legacy by starting Super Saturday which became Super Bulldog Weekend.

I started school at State during Maddox's tenure and finished during Carr's. That first Super Saturday pales in comparison to SBW but it was pretty special back then.

I was having the exact same conversation with them while listening in my way to the office this morning.

Maddox was at MSU when I was too. He came here straight from Red Stick where he was their AD '68-'78

And before that I believe he was a coach and/or administrator at Greenville (Ms.) High, my hometown and high school alma mater.

Yep. He coached Greenville to the Big 8 title in 1953.

He also coached at Greenwood and Gulf Coast Military Academy.

Three directors.

Charley Scott succeeded Carl Maddox and then was replaced by Charlie Carr. Scott & Carr were ADs my Freshman year at MSU.
