you alabama people probably need to leave the state every now and then.
you act like there is more pressure at alabama because they won more titles in hte past lol.
Let's review...
1. Alabama fired Bill Curry the year he WON AN SEC TITLE and finished #9 in the country because he lost 3 straight times to Auburn.
2. Alabama ran off National Championship coach Gene Stallings because he had back-to-back 3-loss seasons.
3. Dennis Franchione bolted Tuscaloosa after a 10-win season for Texas A&M simply because he could not take the pressure.
And things aren't any better on the other side of the state with Auburn:
1. Auburn fired Tommy Tuberville after he had Auburn as the #12 program in the AP during his decade on the Plains. Not even an SEC Championship Trophy and a 7-3 record against Alabama was able to save him.
2. Gene Chizik was fired two years after winning a National Title because he had one losing season.
3. Now about half of the Auburn fans want to run off Gus despite the fact that he's won an SEC Title and had Auburn in the Final Top 25 in three out of four seasons.
No on is saying that Clemson fans don't expect their coach to win. But Tommy Bowden somehow made it as head coach for 10 seasons despite zero conference Titles, one lone Top 20 finish, and zero 10-win seasons. I can just tell you right now, there are at least 7 SEC jobs that would never let a coach hang out with that record for a 10th season.... it just wouldn't happen.

that isn't proof there is more pressure at Alabama, just more knee jerk rednecks in charge of the programs.
Ken Hatfield was fired after 4 solid seasons inclding an ACC title.
a lot of what is factored into keeping a coach is how many tickets are being sold. Bowden did get the excitement back at Clemson after the Hatfield and West era. Clemson will also keep a coach longer if the player's are doing good in the classroom.
i do agree that the focus on football player academics is less at most SEC schools. but doesn't have anything to do with pressure. at Clemson there actually more pressure on coaches b/c the school does say academics matters for the players too.
one of the main reasons Danny Ford was forced out is b/c he wanted a lavish dorm for football players but CU wanted to build an academic center for football players to help them keep their grades up.
