Shula is a good guy and a class act. I have met him and had a good bit of interaction with him prior to him becoming coach. He was in over his head as the Bama coach but I never pulled against him and wanted him to be succesful. It was an impossible situation and just wasn't in the cards.



Yep. If you "hate" Shula then you are either a moron, an a-hole or both. Shula accepted an impossible situation, did the best he could, and most importantly of all did his part to clean things up and get our image back. It was hard to see that then because we were all so dang sick of losing, but any slip ups with the NCAA and not only would we have been hammered but there is no way Saban would have come to town.

I very much root for Shula to succeed.

Same here. I thought he was placed in an impossible situation and conducted himself with class.
