Alabama has made a lot of mistakes when it comes to hiring a football coach, especially Dubose and Shula.
For all of their good points, they both share a common misgiving. They don't have the respect of their players. This is something that must be earned early, and can't be gotten later.
This is the basis of what makes a player reach his potential and play his heart out for his coach. Basically, they beleive in their coach.
Dubose and Shula also share another truth. Neither had ever been a head coach at any level, nor had they shown any abition to be a head coach.
Let's face it, if Gene Stallings was still coaching at Alabama, Dubose would still be an Alabama , assistant, and Shula would still be an assiatant in the NFL.
We need a guy that is self made, someone who has worked his was up the ladder, and beed a head coach, most of all is a proven commodity.


Sorry, but I disagree with what you said here. I think that given a little more time, Shula could have made 'Bama a winning team. I don't think there is anyone out there that can walk into a coaching job and not have to work hard at building a team and teamwork.

We all have to face the facts that the recruiting of players just is NOT there for Alabama right now, we cannot get the awesome kids that years ago would have given anything to play with the Tide.

Firing Shula is going to kill the Team Spirit at Alabama for a very long while.
