ON THE JOB MISSISSIPPI STATE DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR BOB SHOOP, A FORMER TENNESSEE DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR, IS DOING THIS SEASON
“Bob is a guy that I’ve known for a long time, grew up in a town right next to me. He’s had consistently successful, productive defensive units just about every place that he’s been.
I know the Tennessee years were a bit of an anomaly. But he bounced back strong last year. And he’s a guy that I think does an excellent job of putting the kids in position to be successful. He calls a good, strong, aggressive game and is surrounded by a bunch of quality assistants. So I think Bob is one of the top defensive coordinators in the country.”
Understatement of the year.
