I wouldn't really call what Fran did at Bama really winning.
2001 - He went 6-5 then won the Indy bowl against a piss poor unranked Iowa State. Bama played no top ten teams all year and went 1-3 against ranked teams overall. I think Shula could have done just as well.
2002 - Played two top 10 teams, lost to both of them. He won the three against teams ranked #14-21 for an overall record of 3-2 against ranked teams before losing to a bad AU team at home as a double digit favorite.
Fran's overall results at bama:
0-2 against top 10 teams (typical weak bama schedule)
4-5 losing record against ranked teams
Beat up on a bunch of patsies.
Not too impressive considering Dubose left him with ample talent.

Fran totally sold out in the 2002 Iron Bowl. Curb stomped Auburn in 2001 and then mailed it in the next year before he bailed.
