...even DuBose and Shula each managed a 10-win season at Alabama during their short tenures, and DuBose even managed to win an SEC Championship. I'd say the environment at Alabama must have some impact.
No names. Just someone who gives Coach S. a golf tip from time to time.Alasippi,
Very interesting bit of insider perspective. Can you elaborate any on your source?
Thx

I appreciate curiosity...lol...but I simply can not answer this question. I'm sure you guys understand.Jordan?
Coach Bryant was one-of-a-kind but Bama had been to 4 Rose Bowls by the time it became a PAC10 or BIG10 only party in 1948. Many believe Bama was the reason why they made that decision.There's no doubt a unique synergy exists between the U of A -and- Coach Saban. They definitely complement each other. However, without Coach Bryant, would Bama be Bama? I have my doubts to a degree (takes nothing away from the fine institution UA truly is). But I do think UA could have potentially found another good coach after Mike Shula. Maybe we just didn't know how good CNS is when he was hired. I think now the two go hand in hand. Like CNS was meant to coach here. RTR
Thank goodness.Well it's the reason Saban took the job.
However, I'd say the biggest factor in Bama's resurgence is that RichRod turned the job down.
