Everyone calm down, we’ve been here before.

Don’t disrespect Shula like this. At least he was dealing with a crushing probation. Our current probation is self inflicted.

Yep- just last year, in fact.

Just for fun, though, let me help Corporate out and find the differences in the two pictures.

One of the guys in those pictures was a legend as a player at the University of Alabama (he's one of our own) who engineered one of the most iconic comeback drives in Alabama football history. He's a very well respected football coach and coordinator in the NFL and college who took over as Head Coach at Alabama when literally NO ONE else wanted the job and was handed the absolute worst conditions imaginable and told to go win. He did the best he could under the circumstances and was finally fired for being too loyal to members of his staff.

The other is a FCS-level coach who took over the greatest dynasty in college football history and was given an insane salary all based on one good year he had coaching in the PAC fricking 12 and has managed to run the current program into the ground. He routinely fields undisciplined teams who are habitually unprepared for almost every game they play and has, within the span of 14 games, posted 4 of the worst, most embarrassing losses in the modern history of the program. He (apparently) only recently had to be told not to dress like a homeless slob while representing the University on the sideline, looking legitimately, perpetually lost as if he doesn't understand what he's watching. He was also run off the field by his own player who threw a tantrum like a 3-year old, last season.

I hope that helps the folks at Corporate.
