Am I the only person here who liked Perkins and thought he did an excellent job in a difficult situation? He wasn’t Mr. Personality but did he have to be? I know a doctor who’s one of the biggest assholes ever born of a woman, a complete and utter turd, but if I needed help in his specialty there’s not anyone else on this planet I’d go to or take a family member to.

Probably....He had a mediocre run of 32-15-1. Definitely a major drop-off from the Bryant years.

He inherited a talent stacked roster and never had fewer than three losses in a season, went 1-3 against Tennessee, 2-2 against Auburn, and even 1-2-1 against lowly LSU. His 1986 team had Cornelius Bennett, Derrick Thomas, Bobby Humphrey, Al Bell, Greg Richardson, Wayne Davis, John Mangum, Wes Neighbors, Van Tiffin, Kerry Goode, Mike Shula, Gene Jelks, and he couldn't even get that team above the Sun Bowl. He angered the NCAA which had major repercussions down the road. His coaching record outside of Alabama was 44-84. Frankly, I think he sucked as a coach.
