I agree. Reminds me of the transition from Dubose to Fran+Pollard.Why Dubose is vilified and Shula defended to the degree each is, is beyond me. I understand xCMD got us on probation, but I don't think Shula would have handled things any differently. He was not squeaky clean in his own right, and I don't think xCMS was any better, he just had different circumstances. xCMD won the SEC and took us to the BCS. xCMS had a 10 win season on the strength of the most defensive talent we have had on the team since 1992. A mediocre offense would have won us the SEC in 2005. Our offense was not even mediocre.We could have a long debate over which was worse...the failure to develop players or the stubbornness that refused to make a change, even when common sense and the tiniest amount of football knowledge said to (i.e. CBC). The former hurt him - the later got him fired.
