Are you auburnphan's Bama alter? All of that has already been addressed. Stop trolling. Comparing Johnson to Shula is an absolute joke. Shula was a position coach in the league who got the job because of his name.

Nope, not trolling just being realistic. Could point out that Johnson really only got his coaching job because of his name. He got a head coaching job only a year after he retired from playing. That happened to be with a completely STACKED team.....but apparently facts mean you are just trolling

When he wasnt coaching a stacked team, he went 60-116 and was swiftly let go.

The dude has only coached TWO teams total. Has had ZERO college coaching mentors, ZERO recruiting experience, ZERO experience working with mostly 18-21 year old kids, ZERO experience working with non-NBA talent.

Am I really supposed to look at this and say gee that is a smart hire? He has ONE thing going for him and thats his name. At least Shula had coached at more than 2 places before he took the Bama job.
