Instead of fear the thumb, we should have EXPECTED the thumb. Chris Capps effectively lost the football game for us. Shula's job is in jeopardy, of course, and I hear there's supposed to be a big press conference after the football game. Not sure what it could be, but the members of the board of trustees left their skyboxes with about 4 minutes left in the football game. They NEVER leave before the game's over. EVER. Must be pretty big.
My sources tell me that Steve Spurrier is going to be the Alabama head coach next year. And these are some pretty damn reliable sources. Supposedly "Brother" Oliver will be his defensive coordinator.
I'll believe it when I see it, but it would be a nice change from the "deer in headlights" that we've had forever. So many things went wrong in this game that a coach in his fourth year should not allow to go wrong.
1) You CANNOT put Chris Capps in the football game against Groves. You just can't. They had to have seen how well the offensive line played when he was out last week against LSU. LSU has a MUCH better defensive line than Auburn. To allow things to go back to how they were against Mississippi State is just REMARKABLY dumb.
2) To waste time outs and mismanage certain situations the way he did was just pathetic. Go for two points TWICE in the game, but not call a single good play when the ball is on the goalline on the first drive of the game shows a lack of confidence not only in your team but in yourself.
Simply put, the past few games have shown us that Mike Shula's indecisiveness and losing mentality is rubbing off on the players. That is NEVER a good sign. You go in with a winning attitude and you can create winners. JPW doesn't stand a chance with this guy around. God help us.

Yes, fire Shula and Moore. But bring in Spurrier? Come on. Have you forgotten how hated this "man" is among true Tide fans? Sure he is a great coach, but he is the one who squealed on Alabama first. He is such a whiner. He is 61 years old. No to Spurrier. Bring in a great young coach 45 - 50 years old. Are we to the point that we will except just anyone to replace Shula? I hope not. We can do better than that. What about Rodriquez or Saban? # posted by Anonymous : 10:48 AM
