He's a great coordinator. Very very good. That doesn't make you a great college head coach, or even a "potential" great college coach. I have nothing but respect for the effort of Mike Shula. He gave every effort he had, and came "this close" to signing Tim Tebow. History will never show the difference that could have made, but he simply didn't have the disciplinary mentality necessary to manage an entire program, especially one as big as Alabama. But to compare him to Mike Price, in any way at all, is totally unfair. Mike Price was nothing but a total embarassment to the program. Mike Shula wasn't a very good head coach, but he was a very good man and still is. Not to mention the fact that he's the OC of the Carolina Panthers who are in the Super Bowl. I don't think they'll win it, but he's done a fantastic job with his pre-madonna QB.
