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.

That's how I feel about Dinardo. Without him, we would still be tumbling into obscurity. This feels like a reset on that. O is Archer and ????? Is Dinardo.

Shula did absolutely NOTHING to repair that program. Recruiting was horrible. The offenses were abysmal and never showed any signs of improvement. He tanked that 2005 team that had far more potential than the end result showed. He won ONE rivalry game against a dogshit Tennessee team and tried everything in his power to lose that game. Not to mention he cost Prothro his career and flushed the 2004 season down the drain by electing to keep Brodie in the game during the arse fricking of a cupcake.

I don't know why it's so difficult for Bama fans to admit Shula was a terrible coach. There's no way of spinning it into a positive. This sort of delusion is the reason he could've been retained an extra year and any hopes of luring in Saban would've vanished.
