The Mississippi Pride were a professional American football team that played during the 1999 season as part of the Regional Football League. They played their home games at Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium in Jackson, Mississippi.[2]
The team was announced as one of the league's charter members on November 12, 1998.[3] For their lone season, former Mississippi State Bulldogs assistant coach Johnny Plummer served as head coach.[4]
Although the team was scheduled to play a 12-game regular season,[5] poor attendance and sagging revenues would prove too much for the new league. In the shortened regular season, the Pride had a 4–4 record. In the postseason, the Pride were seeded third in the four-team playoff bracket, and lost to the second seed, the Houston Outlaws. Pride starter Stewart Patridge was named the all-RFL quarterback.[6] After the season, the team and league ceased operation.
