Thanks Mike, I couldn't remember his name to save my life....I read that the basic reason he left town was for the protection of his family. That is sad..if true..I love Bama, always have...want to see them beat Auburn everytime they play...but that kind of conduct is totally unacceptable. Now about his coaching....you and I both know that 7-5 is hardly considered a winning record at either Tuscaloosa or down on the plains. And thanks for getting my history straight....my, my where does the time go. I can't believe it has been that long. Bama's tradition is legendary...Frank Thomas built it Red Drew preserved it...Whitworth..was that his name? did his best to kill it...Bear brought it back..I think Perkins had the makings to keep it alive but he got wiped out by personal problems and his greed. Stallings stuck his finger in the **** and returned it to respectability...the closest thing to the Bear that I fear we'll ever see. Since then it has been a patch work job. I think the house cleaning needs to move into the office of the Athletic Director...I'm not sure he has a grasp of what it takes to be a good coach any more. Sorry about the rant.
