I'm serious, Curley Hallman is waiting by the phone. One of Bear's boys from Northport, beat the Tide, Florida State and Auburn on their home fields...


JB, I know you are as passionate about Alabama football as I am. However, I think your words are harsh here. I don't think that Kurt meant any harm in his speculations about what is going to happen. Hell, everyone in the state is speculating, that is all I heard today. Even I have been. I just don't like the arguing about it.

I think the Jeff Bowden pic set him off.![]()
Mal, will Don Shula be on the sidelines next year supporting the next coach and helping him recruit?
JB:
Thanks for trying to right the ship, but I feel its time I officially weigh in. Unlike you and I, Kurt doesn't realize the damage he could be causing by speculating on what WE may be doing. As you and I discussed in the past three weeks, we have many options. Like a well run offense inside the 5-yard line, we shouldn't show our hand too early like Shula did with that Elephant package. We all knew that was destined for failure, but I digress.
Let's get down to business. We are ALABAMA, and would not make a decision like firing Shula without a good reason, and more importantly, without a new coach. That being said, it's a little early and the season isn't over yet. Just because Spurrier would rather coach at South Carolina, Saban would rather coach a losing Dolphins team, and we can't even steal a Rutgers coach away like Miami, we have options. Remember, we were able to hire three head coaches in mere months. Name me another D1 school that has had that kind of success.
I just want to leave everyone with this. We're Alabama, the home of legends- the Bear, Broadway Joe, the Snake and most importantly, Mike Shula himself- so we'll be alright. Thanks again for all your support and ROLL TIDE.
Kurt:
Not exactly, but you and hopefully the rest of this board is catching on to the secret handshake, decoder ring master plan. It's about options! Unlike the option play, which we were too stubborn to run inside the 5 yard line with the Elephant package. Sorry, I digress but you have to remeber we are Alabama the team with the history of Shaun Alexander and David Palmer- too bad we could only win one National Championship with them. Back to recruiting.
We are ok in that department somewhere around top 10 is what my sources tell me. Now, whether or not they still come I will need to check with my main man, Paul Bryant Jr. because we need to activate the boosters, I mean the troops.
Play calling is tricky in our conference and I think Poppa Shula may be a few years removed, but with JPW all we need is a little time, maybe we can get PHead to come aboard and cover his 6.
I'll keep you posted or let one of my other confidantes on the board let you know what we decide and ROLL TIDE!!
okay, is this our bamam buddy, P-diddy?
I have no idea, but he/she is not an Alabama fan. I have never seen anything more transparent.
And to address Kathy's concerns, you have to understand what a tense situation we currently have in Tuscaloosa right now. And yes, it bothers me a bit when someone acts as if they have a handle on our situation when in fact they don't.
I'll probably hold off on posting here anymore until a coach is named. I probably should have just ignored it all to begin with.
Carry on, folks.
