well guys...we live in an age of "I want it immediately or a little sooner" so Shula's demise is no surprise.Personally,I think he should get one more year and he may well have if he could get Auburn under control.
We can partially thank Bob Stoops for some of this.The college football world used to give a guy four years to change things.Bob Stoops,as you may recall,went to Oklahoma and won the NC in his second year forcing a lot of coaches to get on the ball.
Don't worry about Shula as he has many contacts in pro ball and he will land on his feet as an assistant somewhere.
old dawg
I am not sure why anyone worries about a fired D1A head coach. All I can say, is, man, I would love to be fired and given 3 million for doing nothing.
I wonder how this will impact recruiting in the short term. In my opinion, 'Bama just put themselves back another couple of years at least. And it's not like there is a wealth of really good candidates available. Even the SportingNews.com threw out Chan Gailey's name. Looks like Auburn might just get one for the other thumb...
