Hell, Bama fired Dennis Franchione after a 10-3 season
Bama has only fired three HCs since Ears Whitworth in 1957: DuBose in 2000, Price in 2003, and Shula in 2006. Neither DuBose nor Price received a buyout - in fact, Price hadn't even signed his contract before his dismissal. Shula's buyout was $4 million, which is less than we paid Tubs for 'resigning' just two years later.
Bryant retired, Perkins left for Tampa Bay, Curry left for Kentucky (after Bama refused to give in to his contract demands), Stallings retired, and Franchione left for TAMU. None of those departures cost Bama a crimson cent.
Their boosters may be every bit as underhanded and backstabbing as ours, but at least they don't throw good money after bad.
