Week 12 NCAA Football

I had to wait for a few days before I wrote on my blog this week because I like to have a clear head. After the Auburn game I was so aggrivated that I didn't feel like I should write for a few days because my emotions were all over the place. I guess I was like a lot of other Alabama fans in that I was ready to fire the whole coaching staff. After calming down for a few days I have a more clear perspective on the situation. Everyone should be fired BUT Shula and Kines and Shula should give up the play calling on offense. And if the team has a bad season next year Shula should be fired at that time. All of this talk of bringing in a new head coach now is only hurting Alabama. If you were a hot shot recruit and were thinking of coming to Alabama would you now?? You would have no idea who will be your head coach and what kind of system you would be playing in. Hasn't recruiting been Bama's major problem for the last few years? We are just now getting to the point that we have a full recruiting class. We sure don't need to have any reason for the best high school players not to want to come to Bama. I think Shula is a good recruiter simply because of his name. The Shula name is big in Florida and will get him into doors that some other coaches can't get in. It is pretty clear that Kines is a great defensive coordinator, every year that he has been there Bama has ranked very high nationally. The play calling should be given to someone other than the head coach in my opinion because he has plenty of other things to worry about during the course of the game. Very few head coaches can do both. Only Steve Spurrier comes to mind right now. The smart move would be to get an offensive coordinator who may be ready to become a head coach soon and then if Shula somehow messes up next season we can just move the new guy up. But I would stick with what we got right now. He is a good guy and I hope he does well.
