We always hear about how MState is a coaching "revolving door". Actually, it hasn't revolved enough. Since 1956, the shortest coaching tenure has been Rockey Felker's FIVE years. That's right FIVE WHOLE YEARS!
1956-61 Wade Walker 6 22 32 2 .411
1962-66 Paul Davis 5 20 28 2 .420
1967-72 Charley Shira 6 16 45 2 .270
1973-78 Bob Tyler 6 21 44 2 .328
1979-85 Emory Bellard 7 37 42 0 .468
1986-90 Rocky Felker 5 21 34 0 .382
1991-2003 Jackie Sherrill 13 75 75 2 .500
2004- Sylvester Croom 5 21 38 0
That's 53 years and 8 Head Coaches. For you math wizards, that averages out to 6.6 years.
MState's problem is that our "revolving door" is rusted. Perhaps we need to be showing folks the door after 2 or 3 years.
