| FTBL Will Shula be the first to return as a formally HC?

Will he be, I think he is the QB coach for UofSC. I could look it up, but then what's the fun in that! I'm wondering how many time the announcers will say he is the formally HC at Bama?

Thanks but , no thanks.

Talk about living off your daddy’s name. Got him the BAMA job when it should have went to Croom.

I still feel like we kinda screwed Shula.

Nah! Mike screwed himself! Took some bad advice as well.

He was just in over his head, which really wasn't his fault to start with. but then he never made the necessary changes/adjustments to try and fix the situation(s) (on and off the field). Like @UAgrad93 said he trusted some of the wrong people and also had some of those same folks (and others) take advantage of his more laid back, hands off personality. He was fortunate to have some really, really strong leadership on that 2005 team or things would have been even worse...

And that team was a mirage.

I'll say this: I can see him as OC somewhere and will he be HC again? Who knows?

Rick was asking if this is the first time a former Tide HC has returned to Bryant Denny as an opposing coach

Your sounded better than Rick's Now I get it.

I would say no. Kiffin. Technically he was OC, but came back as Ole Miss HC.

Sark coached one game for Saban as HC.. and came back as Texas HC.

I forgot about Curry, I still can't understand why Bama hired him in the first place. He never beat those kitties at GT.

If curry would’ve gotten full support from the old farts, he’d have had a ring or 3…..

He was sabotaged from within!!

 

[Kamikazi18627]

When they hired him?

No. When we fired him. We were one Tebow away from not getting Saban though....so, I dunno. I just hate that he's an alum and probably doesn't feel welcomed.

Damn, I forgot about that!

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Damn, I forgot about that!

You forget about Doc Pollard too?
