I couldn't have typed it better myself. Alabama football has become like the 50 year old woman who isn't really bad looking, but is sad because she still thinks she looks like a cheerleader even though everyone else can see otherwise.

Funny think about that sexy 50 year old is there is always some guy willing to take her home...

On a related topic, they piped in part of Finebaum's show on 99.7 in Nashville yesterday evening and I listened to him saying something to the effect that Saban's, Spurrier's and anyone else's denials of interest in the Bama job are just lies designed to hurt Bama recruiting. I guess when Saban comes out and says through his agent that he's not going to Bama you have to read between the lines?!?:lol:

Man I've turned that sentence around in my head two or three times now. I keep coming up with...
These coaches denials are lies( so they actually are interested?)

Designed to hurt recruiting(so they want to damage recruiting at a job they actually want)...

That line right there is a real headspinner from Finebaum...

I still dont understand why they fired Shula. He was very close to being 10 and 2 right now and had a top ten recruiting class. What did they expect of him. Its the SEC for gods sake.

He may well have been close to 10-2, but when you check out his record against Auburn, Arkansas, LSU, and UT, it is clear that the program is not top tier in the conference.

I guess the biggest reason I would agree with the firing comes if you look hypothetically to next season; what do you do if he goes 8-4, with losses to the conference bigs again? You can't fire the guy over an "improved" season, but it still doesn't meet Bama expectations.

Well, their goal was to win the SEC West... How are you supposed to do that without beating the big dogs of your division? He was 0-8 against Auburn and LSU.

:lol: Did anybody see the Sportscenter piece on Bama's quest for a new coach?

They went through this list of coaches...

Steve Spurrier
Rich Rodriguez
Bobby Petrino
Jim Leavitt
Some others I can't remember.

They just went through them and made a buzzer noise. :lol: :lol:
