Did not watch one play of the game and I feel so much better today for it.  Now, if I can just move out of this state for the next 6 weeks, it will be all good.

We have a spare room and the Mrs. would love to see you.

Possibly the next 6 years.

Until he retires every year will be the same and then they hire Dabo and it remains the same.

I don't even call what they do college football anymore... Was it this bad in the 70s?

[dallaswareagle]

IMO, Locally it was worst, but nationally there was not near the slobbering.

They have built a great program. But just like wine the Bahr was here, the people will finally start demanding n accounting of practices. The REC live on the edge of the rules. Most likely we will find out thy have blatantly ignored the rules and the NCAA has turned a blind eye.

Well after the fact.  When it no longer matters. 

As for Dumbo?  He won't succeed at Bama.  It takes a dictatorial asshole to do so there.  He doesn't have that mentality.  I don't see another coach out there there as big a prick as saban.  Good guys, nice guys, players coaches, emotional coaches ...'all will get ground up by the boosters.

How about this guy?

[Buzz Killington]

How about this guy?

The bus will leave without him

[Kaos]

Nope.  He's not a douche. 

I'm telling you, I've walked this path before.  Saban will leave.  They'll call somebody back home to Mama ( ) and he'll do okay (Ray Perkins) for a while.  They'll start to flounder and go off the beaten path trying to net another Saban (and end up with Bill Curry).  At this point -- about eight or nine years removed from their last title of any kind -- they'll get desperate and bring somebody back with ties to Saban (Stallings then, Smart, Muschamp, Fisher whoever now).  Whoever they bring back will think he can do what Saban did, cheat his fucking ass off and get busted.  Then he'll quit.  They'll raise up one of his assistants hoping to keep the gravy train running (DuBose then, Scott Cochran now) and things will implode.  They'll try to recapture the glory days and will hire a former player (Shula then, McCarron, McGinger, or some other fuckhole now) and the decline will be epic.  At that point they'll either luck up and hire somebody who can resurrect the program or they'll hire somebody that buries it for decades.  Won't matter to me because I'll be too old to care or dead by the time that comes around.

Although I agree Shula isnt a great coach, I dont think he was inept considering the hand he was dealt there. Seems like a nice enough guy which is probably why it didnt work out, as you said - too nice.
