AU didn't fire GC because of his overall record. He was trending toward total failure. Compare Mike Shula's record to other Bama coaches when he was fired.

Gus has proven what he can do with a good QB. He shite the bed with QBs the past few years. There is no doubt about that. He finally let his son Lashley go and brought in an OC that can actual coach and find QB talent.

He made a huge mistake in hiring Ellis Johnson his first year, and it probably cost him a NC. But he has been steadily building the defensive side of the ball since then.


The difference is, Gus looks to be learning from his mistakes and developing as a HC (it is only his fifth year of being a HC). Chizik made good moves at first, but he went full retard after winning a NC and wanted to micromanage everything. And he totally lost control from trying to be over-controlling.

We will see this year if Gus can recover from the coaching PTSD that Jeremy Johnson left him in.

Name the top 5 QBs Gus signed out of high school and coached. The list is pretty Les Miles-esque

If Gus wins fewer than 9 or 10 games this year, good chance he joins Chizik in the unemployment line
