quote:Mike Shula took the job at one of the worst periods in Alabama football history, and held the program together with integrity and hard work. The University owes him a huge debt of gratitude, and ANY derogatory comments from Tide fans simply shows their ignorance of the school's athletic history.
Shula may not have been a good HC. But he sure was a clutch QB for Perkins and the TIDE.

Both things can be true. Shula was not a good coach AND he deserves a bit of gratitude from Bama fans.
Side note on Shula: My boys at the time were in middle school and early high school. We used to all play NCAA Football on XBox. The oldest was, at the time, the most obnoxious UF Gator fan and would always take those loaded Chris Leak/Percy Harvin era Gator teams. I would, of course, play the Crimson Tide for the season. It would drive him crazy when I would "Darby up the middle" for 13-14 play drives and we'd only have 3-4 possessions per half while he was putting up 60+ on the rest of his schedule.
