It is hard to believe that the current head coach at Luverne High School was once the head coach at Alabama.

My dad affectionately referred to him as "Clappy DuBose."

Great hire.

One of the most notable instances of gross overachievement in the history of organized athletics.

Larry Coker coached perhaps the greatest college football team and coached in two straight National Championship games.

Let that sink in.

Those were good times. The Dubose/Franchione/Price years are all remembered fondly.

if you go back to game one of 1999,Alabama had to come back in the 4th qtr to beat Vanderbilt in Nashville. The final was 28-17,but Vandy was up 17-14 and Jamie Winborn dropped a int right in his hand where he could have skipped in for a td. Don't think Alabama would have come back from 24-14.

This was just a few weeks after the Debbie Gibson saga broke and the school and DuBose had to pay her big $$$. With that having been Labor Day weekend and such,I've always wondered if Vanderbilt had beaten them and after DuBose's 4-7 and 7-5 marks with the affair, would Alabama have fired him that weekend? Who know, Nick Saban could have been Alabama's coach in 2000.

Shula was also good, but I don't think he was quite on the same level as the other 3.

Unfortunately, karma's a bitch and wouldn't let sleeping dogs lie.
