WOW...SMH @ this decision
Shula will get a good job somewhere, they should have given him 1 more year with his players nearly all returning...
Really can't believe this, look what the man did last year

The guy is a joke.. how many top 25 games did he win? He lost every big game.. the offense continued to sputter.. he was lucky he made it this far imho. ( Im an Alabama Alum as well )..
Losing to miss st at home, should get you fired on the spot.

Names of possible coaches to replace Shula have included some of the hottest names in coaching circles, including South Carolina head Coach Steve Spurrier, Louisville's Bob Petrino, Oklahoma's Bob Stoops, Virginia Tech's Frank Beamer and Miami Dolphins Coach Nick Saban.

of course we have a coach lined up. You don't fire your whole staff without a contract ready to be signed. But, i dont know who it is. No way Saban is coming, though. What reason would he have, especially after the Dolphin's last few weeks. I guess it could be any of the others. I really don't know. I do know that we will probably have the highest paid coach in college sports next year (if the boosters get what they want).

and to captain. The man really didnt do anything last year. We had the best defense in football. I mean look at what Dameco Ryans is doing all by himself in Houston. Joe Kines did great, and Shula leaned on that all year, almost losing quite a few games doing so. This year wasnt so different, we lost 3 games on 3 plays, and last year we won 3 games on 3 plays.
just look at Shula's record vs. Tennesee, Auburn, and LSU. That will get any coach in the country fired (meaning so many losses to rivals).

Shula Deserved to be fired. Plain and simple. Hes not a head coach.. he blew so many close games with poor coaching and time management. JPW will be an nfl qb.. hopefully they bring in someone who can call plays, I also hope prothro is healthy next year

I really like JPW as well, and think he had a good year. What killed Bama this year imo was their inability to score once they got in the red zone. At one point before the LSU game I know they were leading the SEC in red zone trips but their conversion rate was horrible. That and no pressure on the QB from Kines defense really hurt them this year. Loss of Prothro was huge as well and I felt like they never got their running game going as well as they should have. Not much tolerance for a bad year down in Bama, coupled with losing 5 straight to Auburn and losing to Miss St. at home probably sealed the deal.

Alabama has a large "casual" fan base here in Hawaii because they are a big name that played Hawaii three times the last couple of years....
As a casual Alabama fan.....all i can say is good riddance.....Shula held back a talent laden team......
He was such a conservative coach.....If Bama was my team i woulda killed myself the way they lost some games.......

1 more year would have been no good. Shula was under heavy pressure all season, and he didnt take it well. thats why he got the boot, because of his lack of ability to step up and beat the pressure. in fact, it got to him so bad that it made him make terrible decisions (ie going for two at the end of the 1st half in a huge momentum spot - who the FUCK does that??)
The thing is, the pressure would been the same all offseason and even greater next season. Naturally he wouldnt all of the sudden become better at handling it. So he had to go.

Yeah I just heard the salary will be from 3 - 4 million a year and Spurrier is thinking he can rent a plane when he wants to play at Augusta.
Yesterday guy says no way Spurrier is leaving now he is saying how can he not leave. Just great.
Oscar Meyer taking over in Florida
And now Spurrier in Bama?
Not to mention that RB farm hidden in the auburn area
At least we got LES MILES.....I sure hope BAMA doesn't steal him away.

(Columbia) - USC head coach Steve Spurrier told his players Thursday afternoon that he's not leaving.
Spurrier met with the team Thursday in a previously scheduled closed-door meeting. A source close to the team told News19's Matt Barrie that Spurrier told the players that he came to Columbia, "to do things that had never been done before, including winning an SEC title," and that he's "not leaving until that's done."
He reportedly jokingly told them, "some of you might not like me, but you're stuck with me."
Some t.v. stations and newspapers in Alabama continued to report Thursday that Crimson Tide officials were saying that Spurrier had agreed to at least listen to an offer from them. The report says he agreed to meet with Alabama Athletics Director Mal Moore, who was expected to offer Spurrier the Crimson Tide job. The report says Spurrier would have to accept or decline the offer at that meeting.
Meanwhile, The State Newspaper is reporting that USC is in negotiations with Spurrier to offer him a more lucrative contract.
USAToday.com reports Spurrier's salary is approximately $1,300,000. That's the seventh highest in the SEC, if you count Alabama's Mike Shula, who was fired. View Steve Spurrier's Current Contract
