This month marks the six anniversary of Scott Stricklin being named Athletic Director at Mississippi State.
One look at Scott Stricklin’s resume and it’s easy to see why he was a prime candidate for Mississippi State’s open Athletic Director position in May 2010. Stricklin is a native of Jackson,MS and a MSU alum. He had worked in the athletic department at four other Division 1 schools, Auburn, Tulane, Baylor, and Kentucky, and was currently employed at Mississippi State. So when Greg Byrne departed for Arizona, the university called on Stricklin. We are now six years into the Scott Stricklin era, so let’s take a look at how he’s done.
