Bama Job

Who do you want to see get it?

They need a veteran and someone who can be trusted and can clean the program up.

I vote Dennis Green. Sure he hasnt recruited since his days at Stanford but I think he is a great a choice. He will learn the ropes quickly.

Will it happen? I doubt it. I know about the whole black coach and SEC history, but I think its a great move. It will bring respect to the Bama football program which it desperatly needs now. All he has to do is win.

I hear the other canadiates are Nick Saban (he will never leave for a sanctioned program), Tom Coughlin (a good choice also), and Sparky Woods. Woods would just hold the fort until the program gets back on stead ground. Either way they need a class act.

Your thoughts?

It was said on a Espn article that maybe Slyvester Croom a Player from the Bear Bryant Led Bama teams.. who is a Assistant for the packers, would be the best choice.. I tend To agree

Bama will not hire outside its program again, i can almost guarentee that.

It will be tough to find a really good coach this late into the spring...

Why is hiring outside so bad?

It's not so bad, but 'Bama is amongst the most tradition-obsessed programs there is. They will certainly want to try to get a former player/former coach rather than hire someone with no real ties to the school.

The funniest name I saw in one of the articles was David Shula!

Mike Shula has been thrown around as well.

Maybe it was Mike Shula's name I saw. I started laughing at the sight of Shula, so maybe I missed the first name.

Its Mike Shula.. he was a qb at Bama

And if they hire Denny Green.. he'll likely show up at recruits homes who signed to go to Auburn after Signing day :)

He does have to keep the Viking tradition of Lateness going :)
