Paging BAMA fans that remember Debose, Shula

Seeing as LSU has done the unthinkable, thanks to a spineless and cowardly AD/administration, by hiring the familiar face that "loves" LSU, I am curious. How did you deal when Alabama did the same? I can't drink much more than I already am. More golf I guess.

It was horrible. Get ready for pain.

You'll enjoy the wins more, that's for sure.

It's gonna be a long ride in the wilderness, what's worse is Bama already has 6 in a row on you...might get to 11-12 now

Dark times my friend. Lots of liquor.

Bama fans were responsible for the DuBose hire and excited when he was announced. They had a "fax campaign" to bombard the AD with faxes encouraging the hire of DuBose, because he was one of "Bear's boys."
Shula was just a stop gap and we were in pretty bad shape at the time. There weren't any high expectations for a big hire.

You guys don't get it. This is a great hire. Watch who he surrounds himself with before ya'll make your judgments.

Not sure it's 100% the same.
By the time Shula came, I was just happy not to have a coach that was embarrassing us.
I've always felt Shula did a decent job considering the circumstances. Don't think Saban would have even remotely considered coming to Alabama if not for the work Shula did in repairing the program.

Bobby Bowden wanted the BAMA job in 1986 (Perkins left to be HC at Tampa Bay after the '86 season), but our dumbarse Pres. wanted Bill Curry instead.
Bowden played one year for Bryant but transferred to Howard Univ in B'ham (now called Samford) due to his desire to get married. Coach Bryant didn't allow his players to be married at that time.
Bowden grew up a BAMA fan and said that was his dream job.
This move by Joab Thomas was a bigger mistake than Dubose, and we hired Shula due to sanctions.

We actually had initial excitement for Shula. That turned ugly though.

This is the analogy I got from it.
Shula was the best we could do because no high profile coaches wanted the job.
Coach O was the best you could do because no high profile coach wanted the job.
Then you would be correct sir.

Personally, I masturbated.
A lot.
Usually while crying.

Darkest days of Alabama football I've ever seen and I've seen some dark days....particularly at night.

I think orgeron is more like fulmer than dubose.
It feels like he tunneled under miles to get the job. Like this was his personal goal. This didn't just happen.
Fulmer did pretty well at Tennessee after his coup

Dubose was a terrible hire. I laughed and knew he would be fired within a few seasons. With the sanctions Shula was a good hire to get through the probation years. He actually fielded competitive teams, but man he could blow a 4th quarter lead.

It turns more into just a game that you are constantly pondering who will bring you back to relevancy. Then when you get that taste of winning again, you can't imagine going back to where you were. I will say that it is exciting to get an upset, but it also gives you false hope and that is never good.

Every few years you'll string together some wins, beat somebody you shouldn't, and climb into the top 15. Then you lose to Kentucky at home and end up squeaking out a win in the music city bowl. But next year, you'll always be great.

They were different situations. I really really wanted Dubose. I thought he was perfect to continue what Stallings had built. Now Shula, I could not have been more against that hire. It sucked cause you knew there was no defending hiring him. There were plenty of coaches with more experience and success that they could have hired.
