I didn't like the Price hire either, but no one else was jumping on the ncaa probation grenade. So, that hire should be kept in context.

Given the fact that he was busted with a stripper and never coached a game, we can pass judgement on his morals and potential to lead young men; however, plenty of successful coaches are shite people.

Who knows, he may have done well at Bama.

Agreed. I believe he is the one coach who could have taken a probation riddled team and got 9 wins out of. He took WASHINGTON STATE to the Rose Bowl.
That spring game with him as coach. I never saw a Bama offense as effective and running and passing as that one until AJ and Trent were there.

You probably would have won a national championship or two. He was pretty damned innovative on the offensive end. I will bet that he was not the first Bama...or for that matter SEC coach who was having fun with women other than his wife...Bear was known for liking the women. He got caught and like a dumbass was using the Alabama credit card.

Because of what happened with him, I tend to give Mike Shula something of a pass. No one wanted the job given what was coming at Bama at the time.

I will say this, if Price does not get busted, Nick Saban is coaching somewhere possibly out west today.
