Even then, not sure how realistic that would be...we've only had 2 coaches since the Bear that have done that, Stallings, who, from what I've read/heard might've been "encouraged" to retire, and Saban. Heck, I think we've only had 5 coaches consistently win 9-11 games a year and beat our rivals in the history of Bama football...and all 5 have statues...
Xen C. Scott doesn't have a statue. There's only been one Bama coach in the last 97 years who hasn't had at least one double digit win season - Ears Whitworth. Saban's successor will do well, but not to Saban's level of course.

Scott had one 10-win season from the records I saw...the guy I was answering was talking 'bout coaches who consistently won/win 9-11 games a season...I could've missed someone but the only Bama coaches I looked at that averaged 9+ wins a year were the five with statues...

I don't think Ozzie is even eligible. Doesn't administration require a masters degree?
