Lots of folks are unhappy with Mississippi State football, and the coach is catching more heat than ever before. I’m not convinced that football programs at places like Mississippi State are not going to experience four to six-year cycles that are simply inevitable.

With so much young talent on the current team, Coach Sherrill has some far brighter days ahead, but he’s got to get through the pain of the rebuilding. If he doesn’t survive the pressure, some new, young coach will reap the harvest, then face the same scrutiny when the program turns downward again for three or four years.

It is the circle of life in college football at small schools.
