Good god with the schedule BS from uninformed LSU fans
The cupboard when Fran got there at Bama was stockpiled and he had the talent to be successful
At A&M it wasn't nearly as stockpiled and he got way too sloppy by thinking he would be there a while (I blame this on his wife though, he could've been offered an NFL job in any other state than Tx and I don't think she'd let him take it). He understood the pressure and scrutiny and acted accordingly in Tuscaloosa and in College Station it was a rock star mentality (they stole him from the wonderful Bama an SEC school and pretty much adored him when he 1st got there)

This matters when discussing Fran. He only faced two top ten teams in his tenure at bama. Lost to both.
In addition, he had a losing record against ranked opponents. Dubose left him with lots of talent, the effects of the Stallings probation had pretty much run there course and he had favorable schedules at bama.
I still say Shula could have done just as well.

'Bama didn't have to play Florida under Fran. Even then, UT doesn't count because they suck now...
