Because really wanting something doesn't mean you're really good at it.

bama passed over one mediocre coach to hire another mediocre coach. i really don't see why bama gets raked over the coals for taking shula over croom. either option would have ended with the same result. better to keep jesse jackson off your campus when the guillotine drops.

The most reasonable (and least ) is that both were seen as "meh" hires, but the powers that be thought that Shula's name may get him a little more cred on the recruiting trail.

Basically, it was a daddy thing.

Epic read; would carve into stone tablets, passing them down through the ages until they were lost in time, living on through the pages of the sacred text of the world's largest organized religion.

...and perhaps throw them down if I see people worshipping a 14K calf on my way down with them.
