This whole saga is interesting. I guess I can see Eli's and Alabama's point of view. I know he's disappointed and hurt, but say what you want aboult Alabama, they have bent over backwards for him forever. Remember,when he took over for John Forney in football ,he did basketball,too. But basketball was cutting in to his lucrative NASCAR assignments. Kinda surprised he's being so vocal about his ouster.

With that said, I'd like to see who these offers for Chris Stewart doing their games are coming from which supposedly led Ala to want to make him permanent football guy,too. Nice guy, but mediocre at beast pbp.

Paul Kennedy replaced John Forney from 83-88. Forney came back for one year then Eli. I feel that Kennedy really replaced Forney, not Eli.
