Damn. Good luck to him in the future. Like guy, just not a good situation for anyone.

Wow, I thought for sure that he'd get next year. It is the right decision, though.

Huge push from board and president

I would be shocked if Stansbury is not already heading back to Starkville

National media is grilling us exactly how they did when we fired Croom. It's easy for them to say we did the wrong thing when they didn't have to watch our games each week.

Well we all know how the Croom replacement is working. I pray we make the same mistake with this replacement**

My throughts exactly. No one has ever mentioned how they were wrong, but when Dan started winning it was BECAUSE of Croom. If/when (fingers crossed) this next coach wins Ray will get 50% of the credit by these same guys.

What's 17ed up to me now is that we've had Mullen longer than we've had Croom but it doesn't feel like it at all.

Get Tom Crean on the phone. Even if Indiana doesn't fire him, he made just leave on his own if he's tired of constantly being on the hot seat.

Crean is in line for a huge buyout. He's an idiot if he leaves on his own. We need someone who can recruit in mississippi.

3 of the top 10 or so players, arguably the top 2 (Howell, Jarvis, then throw Stewart in there somewhere), were Tennessee natives. Seems to me that we need someone who can recruit Tennessee.

Croom went back to being an NFL position coach...Ray will go back to being an assistant somewhere. MSU gave both men a great opportunity and more money than either ever dreamed he would make. We owe no one an explanation.

Ray had 2 years left so assuming he gets paid for it all - he made $6 million. Ol blue made a really good point a couple of weeks ago. Ray wasn't in line for being a head coach before he was hired here. He didn't have anything to lose and made $6 million bc of it.

If a single member of the national media knows that Miss State still has a basketball program right now I'd be shocked*

ETA: I am confident that will change very soon though with the right hire.

And Jamont Gordon, Jarvis Varnado, and the Delk twins
