Ray Perkins was a 24K Jack arse. The man went out of his way to tick people off. I’ve never seen anyone like him before or since.

DeBoer in his opening press conference went out of his way to symbolically link himself to Saban with his comments about asking him for advice every day. Perkins took the exact opposite approach, going out of his way to show that there was a new sheriff in town. It seems like there was a big emphasis on changing things at that time, even tweaking things like changing the chip sponsor from Golden Flake

I was around Perkins quite a bit back then.. that was back in my coaching days.
He was a 100% a-hole, but he was a good coach that found a pretty empty cupboard when he arrived. Lots of kids (ex.. Bo Jackson) didn’t sign with Bama because they weren’t sure Bryant would be around .
Perkins recruited really well.. Biscuit, DT are just 2 examples. He would have eventually won big at Bama imo.
But he certainly pissed a lot of folks off trying to prove it was his program.
