Shula was fired because he was
(a) Not performing, even in his "best year" we still lost to LSU and Auburn
(b) He was losing recruiting to Auburn in-state (as well as LSU and Tennessee who were cherry picking kids)
(c) The program appeared to be on a stale, mediocre plane
You can add to it poor game day adjustments/roster management (the play-call that got Prothro hurt was moronic and unnecessary. had he not done that the 2005 season may have gone differently for him).
You can also add that the team was something like 0-15 when trailing entering the 4th quarter. During Shula's 4 years in Tuscaloosa, you basically only had to beat Bama for 3 qtrs b/c he proved incapable of coaching his way out of a deficit.

Basically it comes down to : If Shula had gone 8-4, 10-2, 8-4 but still lost 4 straight to Auburn, would he have been fired?
I think the answer is no.
