Dale Denton-First let me say that Forde is ignorant, but with that being said, sometimes the bestfor the job does not get it. For example, when Tenn. was looking for a football coach, they bought in Dooley, followed by Kiffen, yet I think Charlie Strong applied. Who do you think is a better coach then and now for the job?


No. Kiffin came first, then Dooley. We tried to hire Strong post-Dooley. He had the offer and was very much the fan favorite but he turned us down.

It was Auburn that Strong had voiced concerns/racially tinged allegations about years earlier.

when we fire Anthony Grant this is going to come back up, and in a lot of ways Alabama has to deal with this due to our state's rather violent history

everyone who follows basketball knows he will be let go because his teams play piss poor basketball, but we will always be the school that had George Wallace stand at the door

we've accepted it, we've grown and become something different, but there's no avoiding it when it comes to the press

it's going to come up and we'll be fine

Prof-thanks for the correction. But my point still stands, Strong was and is a better coach than Kiffen and Dooley.

IT Dawg-You need to get off the NAACP nuts, that organization exist to fight for ALL people rights. No matter what color skin or ethnic group you belong too. Do you know that their are WHITE men and women that is part of the NAACP? That fight for justice for ALL not just for black people.

AUsterickPride-On your comment about blacks have the lowest IQ, among all groups. Well anybody can cook the books. And it was that same mindset that white coaches and owners had when speaking about the black quarterbacks. Supposedly the black quarterback was too dumb to lead a team to victory, not cerebal enough to command a team. Yet that myth has been destroyed both in college and the pros.
