Bama (a-hole Paul Bryant, Jr., in particular) blocked UAB from hiring Jimbo Fisher the year before he went to FSU.


LULZ, they didn't block Fisher they blocked the doubling of the budgeted salary mere months after UAB's president agreed to hold down some costs to get the football budget out of the red.

Those guys couldn't have cared less about the impact of someone who'd never been a head coach.

Hell, you don't even have the right conspiracy theory. You're supposed to say they blocked it so Saban could bring him to Tuscaloosa, (even though Alabama hadn't hired Saban yet). You're straying from the party line.

No, they blocked Fisher to prevent the program from moving forward. They knew he had a chance to succeed and that is something they didn't want to happen. There were alumni who were ready to write the check and it would have cause enough excitement to get them in the black the first month.
