The decision to let TT go is the culmination of the attempt in 2003. Judging from the postings, most of you are too young to remember the mid-70′s. When Shug Jordan decided to retire in 1974, the AU Pres called the UA Pres to get advise on how to hire a head coach. The response was “Don’t hire a head coach who will be more popular than the BOD and the Pres. That was evident with the Lowder incident. TT was more popular than the BOD and the BOD wound up looking like a bunch of fools. With the results of the past season, the BOD had the opportunity to take advantage of the unrest in the AU camp. Plain and simple, the BOD took advantage of that opportunity. I believe TT would have turned it around next year. He did it in 2004, and he could do it again.
On the other hand the Bama fans have their right to bask in the sun.
Saban’s victory this year surely resulted in TT being fired, but how many coaches have left Bama at TT’s hands?

OK – this is a conversation between my friends Danny and Rod. They are discussing another friend of mine whose dad passed away recently:
Do you want to hear the final story of george scales
george scales was a huge gator booster
Rodgers: yes
danny: so he asked for his ashes to be scattered on florida field
Rodgers: no way
did they honor his wishes?
danny: so they contacted the athletic department and they did
honor his wishes
Rodgers: holy shit
danny: so his son john takes them out on the field
and is throwing them all around
and part of the tour they got was of urban meyers office
so john goes behind his desk
and bends down to tie his shoe
he was wearing cuffed pants
and he flipped down the cuff and the ashes he hid there fell out
and he grinded them into the carpet of the office
george scales last act of reason
Now that, my friends, is a LIFETIME commitment to excellence…
