Michael Dyer (5-star) was a heavily recruited RB who ran for over 1,000 yards in their championship year. Terrell Zachary (4-star) and Darvin Adams (4-star) were both excellent WRs for them in 2009 and 2010. They also had a solid TE option in Philip Lutzenkirchen (4-star).
All of this. Dyer was a stud back, just crazy. Lutz would be in the NFL today if not for his tragic death, their Oline was solid too.
The were a solid team - which makes what Cam is doing in the NFL all that more impressive. Now all he has is a good tight end.

"I won't ever hate on Shula. I believe he did the best he could while here. He just wasn't ready for the job yet. And he took the job when we were at arguably the lowest point we'd been at since Ears Whitworth. He didn't do anything to shame the University and helped bring some stability back to it after the mess that ensued post-Stallings. I hope he continues to have success in the future."
Well said. I've never understood the animosity so Tide fans have towards Mike.

Yep. His last call was Kitchens to Scissum in 1997. It was his only year there.

Yep had no business throwing the ball in that situation. Hell he should have handed it off, run clock and make auburn take a timeout then punt.

I think Shula was a good guy, just not the right guy. It is not like he did anything to embarrass the University, right?

I haven't met very many if any people who hold any sort of animosity towards Shula. Most of us wanted him fired, but I don't know anyone who "hates" him or even dislikes him.
Price and Fran? Yes. Shula? Not at all.

no, he didn't ... a sizable percentage of bama fans are just simply shitheads ... they bash shula for bad play calling or blame him for prothro's injury ... they also bash former players because the player didn't lead bama to a national title (spencer pennington, who was a 3rd string qb) ... it's "did you win a title" instead of "did you play for bama?" ... they're not fans of alabama ... they're fans of the current flavor ... announcers are giving shula credit and the op doesn't like it ...
it is what it is ...

Wut?
Bro, I was in school for the Mike Shula era (that was literally my 4 year period of college, the Mike Shula era). I was friends/classmates with a ton of those guys that played for Shula. I went to Knoxville, Fayetteville, Gainesville, Auburn, Columbia, Oxford and Starkville during the Shula era (90% of those trips resulting in losses). I'm as close to that era as just about anybody this side of players and staff on those teams.
I'm HAPPY for Shula. It's just mind boggling to see him putting together such an interesting and crafty offense after watching what he put together for 4 years in Tuscaloosa. I think it is great how he has grown and been given a chance to do so.
Fans of current flavor? GTFOH.

Being shocked by something is not hating someone or being a critic.

Making cracks about someone's previous performance is not hating them. I make cracks about Mike Smith from the Falcons as well as about 100 ex-Braves. I don't hate any of them, but they all had faults that we laugh about in hindsight.
And, those were horrible memories. Those guys are right. I drove to Fayetteville one Saturday to watch us lose to Arkansas and followed it up with a trip to Gainesville the next weekend to watch us lose basically the same game. About 4 weeks later we drove up to Knoxville, a game in which Simeon picked off a pass, ran it back to the 2 yard line and everyone around us said "Welp, we won't get in the endzone now." Guess what? We didn't.
Shula was a good dude, I'm glad he is doing well, but his 4 years were 3.5 years of misery and a few months of hope in 2005 (followed up by 2 straight games of despair).
So, in conclusion, glad he is doing well, awesome that he has improved, going to make jumbo package jokes the rest of my life. I earned it.

Again, I was a college student. At Alabama. For those 4 years. You do realize how much the success or failure of Alabama football plays a part in the entire mood of campus, right? The entire fall is based around football. During my 4 years of school (the Shula era), we went 1-11 against Tennessee, LSU and Auburn.
On top of that, I clearly meant "misery" in the context of cheering for the football program.
