Title: Mississippi State fires Rick Ray Post by: pmull on March 22, 2015, 10:12:57 AM Good move by MSU. They program was not going anywhere under Ray. He seemed like a good guy but was in over his head at the SEC level.
Who do they go after? Quote Mississippi State has fired men's basketball coach Rick Ray. Ray, 44, went 37-60 in three seasons at Mississippi State after replacing Rick Stansbury in 2012. The Bulldogs went 13-19 this season, including 6-12 in SEC play. Mississippi State athletic director Scott Stricklin announced the decision to fire Ray in a release Saturday. "This has been a difficult decision, as I have the utmost respect for Rick, and am highly appreciative of the effort he put forth in leading our basketball program," Stricklin said in the statement. "To Rick's credit, we have seen great strides from our student-athletes in several areas, including academics. "However, the on-court results have not been satisfactory. In order for MSU to achieve success at the levels to which we aspire, I believe that a change is necessary at this time." http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/12530618/rick-ray-fired-mississippi-state-bulldogs-basketball-coach Title: Re: Mississippi State fires Rick Ray Post by: pmull on March 22, 2015, 10:22:53 AM It looks like MSU is going after Ben Howland.

If they pull the trigger on that one, then that would seem to force Bama to make a big splash as well. Title: Re: Mississippi State fires Rick Ray Post by: Marshal Dillon on March 22, 2015, 12:22:23 PM The hire of Ray never made sense. An unknown assistant from average BB programs. It was a recipe for disaster, which it was.
