Franchione was still a hot name when he left Bama. The two years he was here we played a hard-nosed brand of ball and would have had a good shot at winning the SEC in 2002 had it not been for probation and him leaving. I was angry he left and was surprised not just that he failed, but that he failed so spectacularly at A&M.

The last 20 years have been very, very good at LSU despite some years where the record did not match the talent.

I think a lot of Tiger fans would say holding on to Les Miles too long was our bonehead move. After 21-0 and the inexplicable seemingly indifference of Miles in arguably the biggest game in LSU history, the program was very good but not championship caliber until 2019.

1. Mike Price was never the head football coach at the University of Alabama. Contract not signed, all he did was preside over a spring practice and go to Florida. I have the same record as head coach for Alabama as he does. That’s my story and I’m sticking with it.

2. Hiring Mike Shula. Don’t get me wrong, I got some respect for him as a coach and qb coach, but he was in so far over his head and it had everything to do with experience. How do you let the players become involved with, of all things, a text book scandal?? He got handed a shite sandwich, but you have to respect having the balls to step up.

3. Since it was brought up, pushing Gene out was just plain stupid. Damn good man. 1992 is maybe my favorite season of Alabama football ever. But the ensuing decade is what brought us here.
