I mean, that just isn't true. 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

And perhaps more importantly, when pressed by Mal Moore for what changes he would make on the staff, offered nothing more than cosmetic adjustments. Bama's OL was horrendous.
