Yeah, I don't recall that either.
UAB was a bit of a cluster frick - the major backslide in 2002 had people doubting a bit (in spite of winning the SEC in 2001 people talked up doing it from a weaker SEC West)
Once 2003 got rolling? Obviously Saban was pretty well knighted in Louisiana

I agree...even though the SEC Title in 01 helped ease the pain of losing to UAB the year before....the way 2002 went, getting smoked by Va Tech, Auburn and Bama and then how we lost to Arkansas. There was already displeasure with Saban and then Roy Williams just manhandled us in the Cotton Bowl. There was a large portion of the fan base that wanted Saban's head.

actually....Saban was so disliked within the Athletic Department that had he stayed and had another season like '04 we would've been looking elsewhere.
