He was a good QB while he was with us.
He was a good person while he was HC.
The only thing that was ever really bad about the guy was that his style of coaching didnt mesh well at Alabama.
That said, I hope he's successful in his future careers, and I hope his time with us at Alabama and with Carolina were learning experiences for him, because you know he didnt have much experience when he first came to Alabama.
Lets leave the guy alone.
Amen, brother! He is still a member of the family, so to speak, and he guided the program through some tough years of NCAA probation. If his calling is not that of a head coach, then that's that. It doesn't diminish my respect for him.
If memory serves correctly, he was the QB who lead the drive that resulted in Van Tiffin's winning FG against Auburn. Nothing's going to tarnish that for me. He deserves to find his niche in life and succeed grandly.
