The Gottfried/Grant era. Gottfried because he pissed away all the talent and Grant because he was such a disappointment.


Gottfried at least got us to the elite 8 and was a relief after David Hobbs. The ending of his coaching career here sucked though, so I'd say that too.

Easy one. Shula's last Iron Bowl. Fear the thumb. Typical Shula coached game; close but lose it in the end due to mistakes and turnovers. After that game I was PISSED! Was packing all my Bama gear in a box. I had been a Bama fan for all my 40 years and I'd been through ups and downs but that was the last straw. I told my wife I wasn't watching Alabama anymore, wouldn't root for the or send in my Tide Pride donation unless they fired that idiot coaching them. Wrote Mal Moore an email saying I would not donate another dime to Bama as long as Shula was coach. As I was getting ready to throw my Bama gear in the trash, my wife said, "Be patient" and she took the stuff away from me and put it in her closet. A week later, she smiled and handed it back to me and I told her she was right. Only times I've been that disgusted with Bama is Bill Curry and Mike Shula and both were total buffoons as coaches. At least Shula's heart was in the right place.
