Well said Cubby, sounds like you've kept up with Bama for a long time.....Trish

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: The University Of Alabama

I heard Gene Stallings on the Finebaum radio show and it sounded to me like Gene was campaigning for his old job back.... maybe they will give Gene Stallings another shot at it....... he said he would either be interested in the job or in helping out while they found a permanent coach.....

This is likely not going to happen since the problem between Mal Moore and Gene hasn't been resolved.

The story I heard was Bama was trailing Mississippi State at halftime and Mal Moore came in the Tide's dressing room and told Stallings that unless Bama pulled the game out, he (Stallings) would be out of a job. I heard he did it in front of the Bama squad. That may not be all true, but when you hear a story a few times the same way, there has to be some part of it true. It was kind of strange that Stallings 'stepped down' at the end of that year. I will ask Jim Cunningham the next time I see him or talk with him. I guarantee he will know the story behind the story...
