Alabama is 5-8 against Auburn since the year 2000, despite having outscored the Tigers by a combined 297-212 in those 13 games.

So what you're saying is that Auburn is better than you over the last 13 years.

It's not hard to be better than Price/Shula/Fran.

Price never even got the chance to coach an Iron Bowl and Fran blew that '02 Iron Bowl, I don't care what anyone says. After Fran had left in the middle of the night the players who remained opened up about how horrible game prep was that week.

When we are bad, we still make a good game out of it.

From 2000-2007 they owned us. Not gonna lie. Probation and lack of coaching stability did have quite a bit to do with that. Since coming off probation, however, we are 4-1 against Auburn.

Dubose
Destroyed whatever it was Gene Stallings built from 1990-1996. It didn't take him long either. He took a 10-3 team from '96 and turned it into a 4-7 team in '97. We were a 5-6 quality team that finished 7-5 in 1998 due to last minute miraculous wins over LSU and East Carolina. 1999 was clearly a fluke season.

DuBose was good at telling the fans what they wanted to hear. Stunk as a Head Coach.

So by not scoring in those two shut out game is the difference. Why spot them 85 points? Some evil plan in PFD's grand scheme?

You also left out those 42 points we scored on your team in '11. If not for that fumble recovery in the end zone and that kickoff return to start the 2nd half, we would have shut you out that year too.

Fran was very dependent upon locker room leadership from what I recall. I heard on the 12-7 tu game he said, "I don't give a frick if they have the number one rushing defense in the country, we are going to line it up, and run it right down their fricking throats."

I was not disputing anything; just pointing out that 2 of your really great teams destroyed our terrible, bowl ineligible teams.
Bama went to bowl games in 2002deserved it!), 03, 04,05 (10-2),06, and 07.
I agree that AU should have put up some blowouts, but your team fought hard during the down years. Shula was certainly not Saban, but considering the circumstances he probably did about as good as he could. I think over time, Mike Shula will be looked at as an inexperienced head coach who was asked to jump into a situation that only a Saban, Carroll, Meyer, Spurrier, etc could produce good results.
And don't forget, even Saban took a season to implement his process successfully. Given the hole that Dubose dug, Saban may have needed 2 years to turn it around.
BTW, I believe CNS is the greatest college coach ever. The above is not a troll or flame. Just acknowledging the real problems that Shula was dealt.

I do not blame Shula for the mediocre seasons we had. He stepped into an impossible situation fraught with turmoil and disarray and brought some much needed stability back to the program. When he was first hired I'm willing to bet there were few Alabama fans out there who believed he was the future of Alabama football. Most of us saw him as a bridge to get us through probation, after which we'd go out and find ourselves a better coach. The 9-0 start in 2005, however, changed our perception of him and quite a few of us jumped onto the Shula bandwagon despite the ominous signs that loomed on the horizon.
