When Spurrier left Florida, he said 11 years is probably long enough for one coach to be at one school and that any longer wouldn't be good for the man or the school. Call him what you will but dumb he's not.
If Bama has fired Shula before securing a top notch replacement then they may be doomed to repeat recent mistakes. Alabama has gotten themselves into a real mess and unless they hit a homerun things may not get better and Tubberville will continue to benefit.
We'll see if someone like Petrino or Rodriguez step up but my belief is they are too smart to go to a place where expectations are too high and the trigger too quick. But money is loud so we'll see.
I figured they would make contact with a top 3 or 4 prospects over the past week and come back and fire Shula if they got someone on the line. If they did not get who they wanted then they would require him to clean out his offensive staff half-hoping that he would, although knowing he might request to be fired and take the buyout.
