As one cannot deny that Schaefer is one of the game’s best coaches and defensive minds, Mississippi State has suffered a devastating blow.
Having established a prestigious program and all business culture over the course of eight years, Schaefer's replacement will have a tough act to follow. Schaefer’s overall record stands at 221-62 where he led the Bulldogs to two straight NCAA championships.
Though this is a sudden loss and gut punch, the Bulldogs’ next head coach will be inheriting a formidable squad.
Hail State!
