He clearly ate fewer Little Debbies whilst at Bama. Dude must have used his signing bonus at A&M for some truckload of goodies delivered to his house.

I wouldn't really call what Fran did at Bama really winning.

2001 - He went 6-5 then won the Indy bowl against a piss poor unranked Iowa State. Bama played no top ten teams all year and went 1-3 against ranked teams overall. I think Shula could have done just as well.

2002 - Played two top 10 teams, lost to both of them. He won the three against teams ranked #14-21 for an overall record of 3-2 against ranked teams before losing to a bad AU team at home as a double digit favorite.

Fran's overall results at bama:

0-2 against top 10 teams (typical weak bama schedule)

4-5 losing record against ranked teams

Beat up on a bunch of patsies.

Not too impressive considering Dubose left him with ample talent.
