Guess.. "Son of a preacher man" and "Take the money and run" ticked someone off...I know my Auburn friends have been talking about it...

 

[4th-and-1]

seems a little excessive, but i do like bragging about what a classy program the tide has.. guess that's part of it..

 

[doemasters]

Was just reading about that as well

This would have never have happened under Shula. The differences are striking.

My, how PC. :lance:

 

[Kozlowski]

Guy should have gotten a raise.

 

[Kozlowski]

food for thought....


The University allows the band to play and sing Rammer Jammer????? SO its plenty fine to tell the Aubs WE JUST BEAT THE HELL OUT OF YOU but not to play a song over the PA.


Mal Moore was in the same room with Logan Young as he committed a recruiting violation (they were close friends) and he is still employed after another NCAA scandal beyond the Means/Young case.

Typical from UA admins IMO

:rofl: AND then he would have ran Darby up the middle and Auburn wuld have held up nine fingers and Joe Kines would have said something i didnt understand all while looking like a deer frozen in headlights. Then that night half the team would have gotten arrested on the strip whilie selling their text books for weed. And that sunday Shula would be spotted at dairy queen buying ice cream cones. Gosh how i miss those days. Mike please come back, we were fools, please forgive us

I don't see how this happening under Shula any different, it's not like the coaching staff has any say about who's in the PA box right...?

 

[Roll Tide Rev]

Darby up the middle? HAHAHA!

 

[silvermetalflake]

Songs about competition of "the game" are okay; songs that needle at off the field politics are not. But firing??? Hmmmmm.

Bingo. There is no doubt in my mind that their friendship, and the preception that Mal approved of what LY was doing or at least turned his back on it made our punishment as severe as it was.

 

[RollTideinGA]

I think firing is a bit extreme. Suspension/ repremand, Some other action.

 

[planomateo]

like someone else said, too bad he didn't play "60 minute man"

Or "Flash", because Bama had a flash of greatness and then the bulb went out. :frown:

Hey you gotta have a sense of humor.

 

[ExiledTidefan]

Football and everything related to it takes too much importance and too much of the nightly local news, in this state. And now we prepare to enter the dreaded off-season, where nothing good comes from the lack of play on the field.

 

[LBS]

How many of us have been fired for some reason no where near as cool as this. This guy will never buy another beer in his life, all because he sacrificed a part-time job to do what 101,000 others could not.

If the team were are creative and aggressive as this guy we would prepping for Atlanta.
