Right. Just a little self-deprecating humor, and it was funny.
My vote is 100% on Joey Jones. Not only does he love the University, has left his blood and sweat on the field here, but he's one hell of a football coach. Throughout his head coaching career, he has taken lesser talented squad and gone toe to toe with more powerful teams. I can only imagine what he could do with the kind of talent he would get at Alabama. A no-brainer of a choice in my book.
Typical whiner. Makes fun of other people's ideas, but has none of his own. You obviously don't know very much about football and haven't followed the career of Joey Jones if you think that's a laughable choice. Let's hear your list of realistic choices, Einstein.
Wow I can't believe you were serious about that. I was pretty sure you were joking, but alas.
As you say, no need to pick one for now. I agree that Lane Kiffin or Gary Patterson would be decent choices. I don't know anything about Bill Clark except that he coached at UAB - maybe the guy who brought up his name was joking as you said. And maybe you have a personal axe to grind about Joey Jones, I don't know. But he's been a consistent winner with lesser talent that what he's had to face everywhere he's been as a head coach. But what you and i think doesn't really matter. The people who make the decisions at Alabama know who Joey Jones is, and are watching his career closely. I hope you're pleasantly surprised one day.
