re: Any Bama fans out there slightly miss the Dubose/Franchione/Shula years?

There are those who say Bama is just lucky.
If CMS sits down with Mal and takes his advice and agrees to bring in some new blood on the coaching staff he would have been at Bama at least one more year and maybe two.
If Mal tells Rich Rod that he must go to Ttown and announce that he is taking the job instead of letting him go back to WV and tell his ad he would have been at UA.
Sometimes some things are ment to be. Saban at Bama was ment to be.
Ps. If the OBC had taken his time and waited just a while longer instead of taking the job at USCe he could have had the LSU job.
See how that works.
