Hire Rich Brooks. The last Guy that coached AT Uk and Alabama Won 6 National Championships.

Re: A name you should seriously consider
I'd rather the administration get the guaranteed RBI's with the double (the best possible coach) as opposed to swinging for the fences (getting a "big name" to satisfy the rabid fans)...which you sorta alluded to anyway
...it's a lot easier to strike out if you try to hit the long ball...RTR...

pyro - why fire Radar? Did he coach the OL or call the offensive plays? No. He did coach the QB's and JPW was excellent this year.

MS's offense, his playcalling, his decisions. That's why he's gone.
FIREING MIKE SHULA WAS STUPID. DAVE RADER IS THE ONE WHO NEEDS TO BE FIRED

I do know someone whe might need to be fired. Mal Moore. If the next coach comes in and doesn't win 10, then it was Mal's choice to kick Shula out and pick his replacement.
I'd then start with the board of trustees.

You saw how our 2005 defense shut down that offense right? I would expect the defenses of the top SEC schools to be able to do about that well every year.

JOX keeps talking about Spurrier as if it were almost a done deal. I'd be as excited as anyone if it came to pass ... but I'd hate to see Bama fans feel let down with an excellent hire just because he doesn't have the Spurrier sizzle.
We shall see.

Re: New Coach Speculation (merged; keep thoughts on the topic here!!!
There's just a couple of reasons I think Spurrier might be more interested than we think. First, he has a son who is breaking into the coaching ranks. Where would you prefer to set him up as a I-A head coach, UA or USC? Second, just chalk it up to his competitiveness. The USC job was a way of getting Spurrier back into the SEC fairly quickly. I think he honestly would've returned to UF, but FL's AD Floey single-handedly botched that by asking Spurrier to apply for the job just like everybody else.
Maybe he is happy at USC, but I cannot believe that Steve Spurrier stands for the soft bigotry of low expectations at that school.

Personally, I like Leach and his system.....just not at Alabama. I think his system works for teams that don't have great talent. It worked for Kentucky under Hal Mumme and it works for Leach at Texas Tech. It would be a great system for Mississippi or Mississippi State to run.

My personal top five, in no particular order:
*Grobe - Only doubt would be the transition to "big time football".
*Paul Johnson - See above.
*Bobby Johnson - I like this guy. I believe his teams are disciplined and well-coached.
*Bob Stoops - Pipe dream, but I have been a fan of his since the fake punt call a few years ago. That took cajones, and a coach at Alabama needs a pair.
*Cleo McDowell - Hard working, self-made man. Disciplined. And our players would get the benefit of having Reverend Brown as the team chaplain.

P.C. I am in agreement, as much as I would like SOS on our sidelines, I still cannot find a realistic reason for him to leave USC for Alabama. Some on here think we have a lot more talent than USC, I think that may be somewhat debatable. It shouldn't be a money issue, I am sure he is well paid. The only conceivable reason I can think of and this is a stretch, he may perceive that by coming to Alabama he could have a chance to be the only coach in D-1 history to win NCs at two different schools. Also as you mentioned, if he stays at USC, who ever the new hire is, the excitement or sizzle is dampened somewhat. I guess I am one of the often called "doom and gloomers" but I just do not see this happening.

Agreed. I still don't see Saban or Spurrier leaving. Still, there are other, attainable coaches that have me excited.
