If you’re Alabama, you don’t lose to Mississippi State…ever…at home.
Should Shula be fired?
I don’t know. A few years ago - yes. And he would have been. But now? At some point, ‘Bama fans are going to have to realize that until the probation is completely over and they get all their scholarships back - this is the life in the SEC.
After the debacles of Franchione and Price and DuBose, Alabama just needs to keep a coach that’s a nice guy and is going to run a clean program for few years. As much I as want us to win another national championship, I don’t want to become Miami to do it.
Besides that - who are you going to hire? Butch Davis? While he’s probably available now that Houston Nutt isn’t coaching Arkansas anymore (yes, he’s still walking the sideline and giving interviews but we all know who’s calling the plays), He’ll do no better than what Shula’s doing. Trying to implement the pro offense at a school that was built for the wishbone.
Just keep him one more year - see what happens.

Never mind what they need. Will Alabama fans stand for another year with Shula? After the Duke and MSU games (both at home), can he keep that job?

What do you think about Fulmer suspending his starting tailback for 1/2 the game, his fullback for one game, and the other player for two games when they were all arrested at the same time for the same thing? Sounds like he took notes from Miami’s coach about handing out discipline?

“just keep a coach that’s a nice guy and runs a clean program”?
OK…I guess I’ll do it for $1 million a year. No problem!
Let them know for me Grant. I’ll hire you. Then you can get of “fantasy” football land play with real players!
