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.
Certainly. His record speaks for itself (much the same way he's been FIRED from EVERY job he's had and the way his Tampa Bay offense never was higher than 22nd in the NFL), but hey, that's just me and those Madden 1999 facts. (super witty btw!!)
quote:
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.
Yeah they destroyed Florida. Other than that, they struggled with mediocre opponents with a senior laden team. I was happy with last year, but I believe there was a lot of smoke and mirrors.
quote:
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.
To the next level? ROFL They were 6-6 this year, I guess they came back down a level huh? Is that you Mike? Stop posting on Times Daily Shula !!
quote:
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.
Two things. 1.) Tampa's offense was HORRENDOUS. Anyone who knows jack about football knows it. He was the OC. But ya know.. that's just Madden 99 talk.
2.) I agree wins and losses matter a lot. (See: 26-23)
quote:
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.
You don't "learn on the job" at a major Division 1 Program.
quote:
The bottom line is that Mal Moore and the Alabama good old boys have ruined Alabamas great tradition.
We agree that Mal Moore is an idiot. But Shula would've never taken this program to where it needs to be and where the fans expect it to be.
