Considering what Tubs did to Bama


It wasn't Tubbs being some amazing coach, it was more Bama being on probation and scholarship restrictions. A lot of coaches got fat off of Alabama during that period. Nutt, Croom, Tubbs, Fulmer, just to name a few.

Most people beat Bama during that time. Hawaii beat Bama and so did Northern Illinois. It wasn't an accomplishment, we were extremely bad. We had no "star" players. Unless you guys consider Prothro a star, and we all know what happened to him.

Funny what happened when we got off of probation and got a competent leader. Every single guy I listed above was run off within 2 years. Their asses blistered and heads hung in shame. It still brings a smile to my face.

It's absolutely hilarious that you think Bama's resurgence had anything to do with these coaches being fired.

Yeah...I mean he is probably a 9 or 10 win average coach....some shitty years interspersed with a year where they could maybe win it all. Reasonably good recruiter but he is no Saban (no one is......)Try and stay .500 against Bama. Done a good job at keeping discipline so far.....

This whole Gus-champ experiment will be interesting to watch. Boom is an improvement but they still need better players and more depth on the defensive side of the ball. How Gus' HUNH philospohy meshes with Boom's philospohy and the o dragging the d up and down the field will be interesting to see...
