Steve Sloan was a nifty quarterback and a good guy. Joab Thomas was the real culprit in not hiring Bobby Bowen. He did not understand the football culture at Alabama and did not care. I think he may have been an All State football player but did not chose to play football in the state of Alabama. In addition to not hiring Bowden he hired a Georgia Tech graduate. He did not understand the bad blood between Alabama and Georgia Tech especially at that time. Bill Curry is a good guy, but the biggest mistake Alabama football ever made was not hiring Bobby Bowden and most people knew it at the time and most people know it now.

Thomas thought Alabama needed to win by running the program in a moral way. Sounds good on paper until you realize his ideal model for this was Penn State.
