Dear Members of the University of Alabama Board of Trustees:
I know you're reading this right now. I know that you're in the middle of some troubling times, and I understand that my opinion really should mean absolutely nothing to you at all, but please hear me out.
This coaching hire could make or break the University of Alabama. I understand how well the basketball, baseball, golf, softball, volleyball, gymnastics, etc programs are doing, but they are not the cash cow for the University. This is a football school, and we are judged based on wins and losses on the field.
All I am requesting is that you do not allow past grudges against a former employee make your decision for you. Please do not let something incredibly promising be thrown away because of an unwillingness to move past something that was done years ago.
Remember how much he loves this University and how much time he has spent helping build this program.
If what I'm hearing is correct and it comes down to one employee, please don't let that stand in the way of everything that this University could achieve over the next few years.

Wow! I was told the same thing this afternoon. This could be Christmas eve!!!!!! # posted by Anonymous : 5:11 PM
Are you confirming that the only thing keeping Spurrier away is the fact that BOT and Malfunction still hold a grudge against brother? # posted by Anonymous : 5:12 PM
I am not sure if I understand - what were you told this afternoon - and what is the beef between brother and mal and the BOT? # posted by Anonymous : 5:17 PM

If this one person is the reason that keeps this new HC and staff from accepting this job at The University of Alabama then fans should consider a boycott. Who caused Bobby Bowden not to come to Alabama ???? # posted by Anonymous : 5:54 PM

I saw the same speculation about a press conference on http://fireshulanow.blogspot.com/ The source is supposedly the tider insider but I'm not a member of that website so I could not verify. There are also postings on "fire shula now" regarding plane activity between Tuscaloos and Ocala, FL and we know Spurrier has been recruiting in FL but I'm not sure what part. . . I hope we are not getting our hopes up for nothing because I agree that Spurrier is a long shot. However, $4.28 million dollars is a LOT of money (if that figure is correct). # posted by Anonymous : 5:58 PM
Also a post by FireMikeShulaNow that a offer could come as early as tonight. Hes been as good as any of us so far on his blogs!! # posted by Anonymous : 6:06 PM

Just checked on Junior's plane and it landed in T-town a little over an hour ago from Texas. Rumor down here in south Alabama is there is to be a meeting this evening in Columbia. # posted by Anonymous : 6:30 PM
PLEASE give Steve Spurrier anything and anybody he wants. Fans still love Bill Oliver, and Steve Spurrier should have all the staff and any of the staff he needs or desires to win. Steve could bring Bama back, and this time it wouldn't be a premature article. MAL and Board of Trustees: BRING STEVE AND BILL OLIVER HERE NO MATTER THE COST! # posted by Anonymous : 7:20 PM
For crying out loud. If Spurrier wants to play golf, build him his own golf course: Spurrier National. "The price of victory is high, but so are the rewards." PBB # posted by Anonymous : 7:41 PM
Its a done deal. Its a 10 year 30 million dollar deal. I got this info from the same person that told me Shula would get the axe, the day before Thanksgiving. Fear the Visor Awbern! # posted by Anonymous : 8:37 PM
Man, I hope you guys are right. I have just seen Mal do so many stupid things that it has gotten hard to beleive that he could pull this off. I will keep my fingers crossed. RTR. # posted by Anonymous : 8:47 PM
I'll tell you like I told ragintide,for the love of all thats good in the world,I hope your right and if you are I'll buy your drink of choice just name it.Roll Tide brother and God Bless the BAMA nation!!!!!!-codus # posted by Anonymous : 8:47 PM
credible_source any word on Bro.Bill if this is true? # posted by Anonymous : 8:56 PM

Credible Source: Just how credible are you? Give us some insight. Help us believe you (we all want to). Why should we? I've heard numbers from 4.5mil a year to 3mil a year. I've heard SS was playing gold at North River and that he's flown about 2mil miles since last week - to NJ, ARK, FL, SC, TUSC, and Mars. I want to know why we should believe? # posted by Anonymous : 9:06 PM
With the jack Spurrier has he could play golf where ever he wanted via Gulfstream! # posted by Anonymous : 9:07 PM
I say give him a damn jet w/his name on the side of it kinda like Led Zepplin back in the day!! # posted by Anonymous : 9:11 PM
A question was asked of where SS was recruiting in Florida.
The reports of a plane from T-town to Ocala Florida....
well SS is in Ocala.. need my source?...
not posting my opinion, here it is.....
Spurrier Talks It Up In Ocala By Phil Kornblut On Recruiting Published: November 28, 2006 USC coach Steve Spurrier spent much of his Monday in Ocala, FL where he watched the Trinity Catholic High School team practice in preparation for their state championship game this weekend.

"TideInGA said... Spurrier likes to play golf?

Sorry but I'd much rather play Augusta than play the RTJ trail. But of course if I was paid 3-4 mill, I'd do that and be happy with the trail. Hell for that money Spurrier could have a course named after him here in Bama. # posted by Anonymous : 10:55 PM
Spurrier first man on Mars. Seems Alabama's jet is better than we thought. # posted by Anonymous : 1:15 AM
What is the likelyhood that this has been a done deal for some time. The time now is for hammering out the details and giving the appearance of a search? That way you don't appear to have gotten a replacement before Shula was out. # posted by Anonymous : 10:06 AM
