re: I hope fans will be patient with CKD

Amarilla Tide is exactly right. I was born in 1940 and attended Alabama between 1958 and 1964 and there have only been two big mistakes made in hiring coaches at Alabama in my life time. They were both made when the president of the University either did not care about or did not understand the importance of Alabama football. They were when they hired Ears Whitworth instead of Bryant in the late 1950's and Bill Curry instead of Bobby Bowden after Perkins resigned. Hiring Coach DeBoer is no mistake.
