I think Fedora is who they are going after.... again.

I thought Bret Farves was the qb that beat us every time.

Favre beat us Stallings' first game in 1990, which was at Legion Field. They spanked us under Dubose, also at Legion Field, in 2000.

I was at the Favre game in 1990. Stallings debut was less than stellar. Had no idea who the Favre kid was but he turned out to be pretty good .

I was at Legion Field for Stallings' debut loss. I was pissed to say the least.

A lot.

A wealth of talent.

if-you say so....
But its not just HS talent...its financial support...booster support....etc...
But you really already knew that

was a strange season....openings with that loss....and started 0-3...
And then the big upset in knoxville ( ( was there for that)......top 3-4 Tennessee team..
And ended with the blowout loss to Louisville in fiesta bowl...
Things did get better...

I sat through the 2000 loss. I took my two oldest boys to the 2001 monsoon game, too.

Bama lost due to mistake vs USM in 1990 but the main reason was we fumbled two punts late in the game and USM turned both into TD's for the win.
I believe the return players name was Anderson and he was from the Huntsville area.

I thought it was Chris Anderson, made me check. I like Stallings' quote, "we made enough mistakes to lose two ballgames".

i would never allow this guy to coach in college again. Freaking horrible example to quit on your team. So you had creative differences with the president, finish the freaking year out. Your players gave their all in a very awkward offseason, came to play under you, and you just leave them. To me he has no place leading young men.

I remember the refs putting ball down and it floating off....lol

Was awful

I don't say so. NFL rosters show the amount of talent that's coming from that state. In the NFL, it's a top ten state.

If you think he quit, I agree. If he's getting paid for the rest of his contract, then perhaps he was fired. I don't think anyone knows what was actually said when he was called on the carpet.

He met with the school's president. They can say he resigned, but that means the school decided to go in a different direction (he was fired).

@OldPlayer

spurrier did quit in mid season...press makes him a hero...( sort of)
Pathetic

fine...stay in state? No!
And the other factors....i noted..money..boosters...etc
Look at states that have 3 P5....
Butwhatever...its like beating...Well.... pictures say it all
RIP...Princess

I have looked at states with more than two P5 schools. Look at NC with three. UNC is a top 25 program, likely top 15 by (this) year's end. Indiana, while not tearing up the football landscape, is home to three P5 schools. Another case here with a title contender in Notre Dame.

The state of Ohio has 71 players in the NFL in 2019. I could easily see three P5 programs in that state with the talent that's reared there.

MS does have a qualifying issue. That's one of the reason we see kids end up at schools like Southern Miss.

and ...and...kids love fancy facilities....thats why many of Mississippi kids leave Mississippi...for beif Mississippi was such a hot bed...and kids stayed there....then Mississippi schools would be at top of food chain...

and only one other sec state has 3...Florida ( cant really compare Florida and Mississippi in many things)...
And really...North Carolina and indiana.... not hot beds....for sure...talking public schools...
USM fits fine in G5....in C-USA

North Carolina is on par with Alabama when it comes to football/NFL talent. There may be a half of a dozen more from AL than NC and LSU normally carries a few more on NFL rosters. The talent found in the Carolina's could easily equate to a national title contender; they've never put the right coach in place at either schools.

More than half of the playes in the NFL currently come from seve states. When we start adding states like North Carolina, Mississippi, and Louisiana that number jumps to over 70%. It's not a lack of talent from the state. It isn't a case of kids leaving the state as much as you've portended. A lot of the out of state kids on rosters at MSU and OM are due to kids being better. (See Jo'Quavious Marks who was part of MSU's last class.)

Someone who should get a strong look is Hugh Freeze; he's USM alum.
