Shula was doing well at Miami. It was Jimmy Johnson 's determination to run the ball that kept him from winning more than they did at Miami.
Next was WHINE-STEAD. He sux worse then Jimmy Johnson did. Shula was an exellent postion coach. He did good with what he had to work with after Dan Marino retired.( Jay Fielder)
As for Tampa Bay ,it is known as a BREEDING ground for Super Bowl quarter backs. As offensive coordinator under Tony Dungy with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the team enjoyed great success and narrowly missed the Super Bowl after losing a fierce contest with the eventual Super Bowl champion St. Louis Rams.
Shula was done wrong. Mal Moore needs to go as well as pulling some of Bear Brynt jrs influence.
If Shulas would have stayed Alabama would be contending for a national championship over the next few years.
Obviously you're either insane or a huge Shula fan. Shula's record speaks for itself. He has been fired from everywhere he's been other than Miami, when we snatched him up as they were about to fire him. His offense with the Bucs never achieved a higher rank than 22nd in the NFL. Those numbers do not lie.
Shula is terrible at clock management, decision making and play calling. Always has been, always will be. It's just a fact.
You must get your sports info by playing Madden 1999 rather than keeping up with news and events. Shula was NOT going to be released from the Dolphins.
Last year Alabama was 10-2. They destroyed Florida. Shula was only in his 3rd year as a head coach. He had never been a head coach on any level.
Franchone did not recruit any O-linmen.
Shula had already took Alabama to the next level in 05 with a team that was on PROBATION. He also lost what seniors were their in 05. He was a GREAT recruitor. He was learning on the job and Mal Moore, Witt, and the rest of those jerks knew it.
Win and lost records are the only records that count. You have to work with what talent level you have. The entire coaching staff got fired from Tampa not just Shula.
Shula was learnig on the job and he would have gotten better. I think he did need to diciplne his player more than he did. There were some serious issue in that regaurd.
The bottom line is that Mal Moore and the Alabama good old boys have ruined Alabamas great tradition.
