I started looking and found that Shula was let go by the Bills, hence the move to the Cocks. IMO, He will go back to the NFL when he finds a job there.

Cue up the jumbo package.

Interesting how he stayed completely away from the SEC from 2007-2023, the entirety of his successor's tenure

He’s an NFL coach at heart.

He is one of our own, so I hope he does well wherever he lands. I'm sure he will be back in the NFL before long.

I have never held any hard feelings towards Shula.

He came into a dumpster fire, in large part out of loyalty to the program.

His tenure was less than stellar, but at least he handled the job with some grace and class.

Agree. Mike came in to be the BAMA coach at the worst possible time, especially for a young coach. Unfortunately, he didn't have the experience yet to be a high level head coach at a school like BAMA, especially with all of the sanctions from the NCAA. Yes, he needed to be replaced, but I'm not going to beat him up about it. I think he did the best he could. My memory of Mike Shula will always be "Shula to Al Bell" to beat Georgia.

He did okay, all things considered. It obviously wasn't up to our standards, but he had a lot going against him, and it could have been a whole heck of a lot worse. I still wonder whether Mike Price would have done better or worse.

Umm... Huh?

Agree with all who noted that Mike came into a dumpster fire. No hard feelings and I hope he does well at USC. Expect him to return to the pros soon... or retire.

Also the drive to set up the FG for Van Tiffin to win the game on the last play.

Umm... Huh?

There was a LB named Juwan Simpson getting in trouble with the law. I think it may of being a DUI. A reporter asked him something like what his punishment should be and he replied an ice cream cone.

I feel like we need a sticky thread with the reality of the Mike Shula era in it.

He ran a weak undisciplined program. There was some atrocious football played, it should have been so much better. Without Joe Kines and some warrior players on defense it could have been even worse.
