If you want to blame anyone for the 10 years of roaming in the wilderness, Bockrath is your freaking man. University President Andrew Sorensen also deserves some credit as well.



I would blame three men. Bockrath, Bow Tie Andy, and Joab Thomas. Thomas started it when he tried to de-emphasize football in the 80s. He's the reason Bowden turned the job down in 1987. Things worked out, getting Stallings in 1990. But then Bockrath ran him off, like you said. Sorensen nearly finished Alabama football off. Thank God he left for South Carolina in 2002.

There's your answer. Bowden always wanted that job. Could have skipped the dark years, but they had to shiit in Bowden's face. Totally fricktarded leadership at that point.
