Hiring a Tide Coach
Looks like Alabama has fired Mike Shula. So the questions begin who will be the replacement. Aside from Larry Coker, I really have no idea who is out there to pick from. But here’s what I would like to see as far as lessons learned. Let’s look forward and not to the past. I know it is tempting to get someone who played under the Bear. That really has gotten us far. We need to adapt. But I don’t want to see Alabama attempt a West Coast offense sort of BS, I think we should be a classic defense/running game team. Also, note: if you are black, please don’t let Jesse Jackson or any outsiders attempt to pressure for your hiring. That will only backfire.
Any other ideas regarding possible replacements?
