Brother Oliver is supposedly calling and putting together his defensive coaching staff already.
Jerri Spurrier has already purchased North River property in Tuscaloosa.
Blah blah blah.
Same old stories, no credible sources. Still hearing the 10 years / $30 Million contract rumors. Spurrier supposedly to tell his kids in a team meeting either this evening or tomorrow morning. Shula will be let go by the University tomorrow. Spurrier will be announced on Tuesday.
Again, no credible sources, but that's the chatter so far today.

what are you hearing, if anything, from anyone credible? # posted by Anonymous : 9:38 AM
the only credible source has told me spurrier was a done deal since the bama/florida game this year.
nothing was out back then, but i've heard from the same people that shula's undoing was that stupid ass contract that his lawyer put together.
it was NOT mal's idea for a contract extension. read the contract for yourself. mal and everyone else read that and realized that mikey's not a part of the family down there. you think he'd put in a $3M buyout for a still unproven coach? They started putting out feelers back in May...hence why Butch Davis was always "waiting to hear about the Alabama job" and everything. It should have been obvious back then. # posted by Memphis Tider : 9:43 AM
interesting. has anyone actually been in touch with any of the players in this situation? # posted by Anonymous : 9:49 AM
I haven't, but generally the players are the last to know. # posted by Memphis Tider : 10:09 AM
i meant people directly involved (i.e. bot members, mal himself, administration, former players)...i'm sorry i wasn't clear there. # posted by Anonymous : 10:30 AM
in touch with administration...but not the athletic administration. just a lot of friends who know friends. you know, the whole "my brother's best friend's girlfriend babysits for this guy who knows Mal Moore's pool guy." # posted by Memphis Tider : 11:01 AM
Ya'll are the most retarted dumb fucks I have ever witnessed in my 28 years. YOU ARE NOT GETTING SPURRIER. Get off it already. # posted by Anonymous : 12:51 PM
To be honest, I think the more likely scenario is Rich Rodriguez. After all, he has taken the team as far as he can up at WV.
Besides, two flights have left Tuscaloosa this week, one today, and have gone to the Greenbrier Valley airport. You know what that's near
Rodriguez Baby! # posted by Anonymous : 12:56 PM

"Ya'll are the most retarted dumb fucks I have ever witnessed in my 28 years. YOU ARE NOT GETTING SPURRIER. Get off it already."
We are getting Spurrier, its a done deal, you apparently don't remember coaches ahve doen these thigns in the past...plus Bama is far better and has always been better EVEN ON PROBATION than USC by at least a factor say 1,000.....
You clearly don't know anything about Steve Spurrier and refuse to look at the facts. You crusing is a pathetic sign of your fear that we will ge spurrier barn, and then its 1990 all over again, although this time its even better.

Rodriguez isn't coming. The planes went to Lewisburg, WV, which is roughly 180 miles from Morgantown. If they were going to meet with Rich, they'd fly into Morgantown Municipal Airport.
Of course, I could be wrong. Who knows. # posted by Memphis Tider : 2:41 PM

ok ok anonymous if your the man that you state you are then just tell me where to meet you and we can settle this. then we can find out whose puss gets paddled. your a coward and this is the only way for you to stand up for yourself because any real man knows you cant do it face to face so just tell me where to be and ill get there and finish this up once and for all. # posted by Anonymous : 3:34 PM

"4seam your still a joke"
According too? a phony Bama fan. Look Shulaloving dummies, how many coaches in NCAA compare to John L Smith?
Shula is a loser, and screws up with his FG unit....how many coaches who are worth a crap so that...the difeferenc eis JLS slaps himself and screams at the media, meanwhile Shula hides behind his "facility" fortress and refuses to answer questions....Where has Shula been in all of this defending himself?
He ahs HIS AGENT SPEAKIGN FOR HIM...that says something...
Meanwhile phony fans "ragintide" keep hoping and praying we don't get a good coach...because secretly, they are agents of the barn, sleeper fans, sent out by the fascist/niestchist/communist reject David Housel to "get our children" and to "Vietnma us" (aka not beat us on the field by through terror, murder, lies, disinformation, sabotage, BS) defeat us....
Gene Jelks...yea....Gene Jleks fans like you make me sick.
All fo the stuff I just wrote up above sounds off the wall....but not as much as David Housel during his radio adress in 2003(Winston Churchill was an Auburn fan)or the "Keep Shula" idiots who keep ignorig reality.....

very true 4seam. i apologize for the remarks i made earlier. i thought you were poosting the same as that anonymous clown so i said that. as for being a phony bama fan, you can best believe that i am far from it. i was born and raised an alabama fan and spent 5 years there in college. so for any one else who wants to question my loyalty you can kiss my crimson and white ass # posted by Anonymous : 5:13 PM
That article was dated Nov 19. Very very old news that he has already refuted # posted by Anonymous : 5:13 PM
wow, to the guy throwing around the term retarded...you're obviously proud of yourself, since you made your post anonymously. i, for one, don't think we are getting spurrier. but, to think that alabama, with its money and resources can't attract someone who would be a winning coach is simply naive. the speculation around alabama and any possible new coach is interesting. alabama's program has too much money, too many supporters and too many resources to not regain its ability to be a top-flight winning program. but, until then, keep convincing yourself that it will never happen. that will make it more fun for us when it does. # posted by Anonymous : 5:17 PM

a friend of mine just contacted me with some news. not sure how to take it though, but his fiance works for FOX 6 here in birmingham and she said that they had a story that they are breaking tomorrow. according to her a player from UA reported that the team meeting tonight is to announce that Steve Spurrier will be the next head coach at the University of Alabama. like i said i have heard and read so much that im not sure how true this is but she works at Fox so im sure its pretty reliable. if i hear more ill post asap.

Evryone thinks I'm nuts, I'm BEING SARCASTIC MOST OF THE TIME!!!!!!!
Dang do I have to explain this out?I'm making fun of Housel and us roping out Spurrier on a hit and run mission with our "special forces" brigade of boosters.....
Great Day!!!! I know ragintide isn't a "phony fan"....although I'm sure there are some out there. barners who get their kicks doing things like that. I don't know who half of the people are on these websites, most are "anons", and follow me around to hate on me(or at least on firehsulanow).
Look, I think/hope we got Spurrier okay....thats about it. My opinion is that Mal Moore is stil Malfunctioning just as he was when he was offensive coordinator, during the early 90's.
I'm po'ed...been that way since the Duke game......So i get a little testy. I'm making fun of all of this "spook" stuff...while at the same time trying to pull out some truth here and there.
Its hard keeping up with all of this stuff. Combine that with Mcready, Scarbinsky, and all other Bama media headaches(Finebaum too)....and my nerves are shot. At least I'm not the NY Giants....I have that going for me.
You have the Shula defenders, the fire Shula people(including me)...and throughout all oft his. I'm sorting out info, throwing out the case against Shula....the case for Spurrier. An analysis of Bama's talent and position....the fact we had Butch Davis and the only thing that scared him away was when the announcement came the sanctions were going to be severe, and he didn't want to deal with them etc.
Bockrath did us in with Dubose and the slide has bene continuing, Fran hurt us bad. Shula has held us back because we ahve had the talent but it hasn't been deployed even common sensically(not a word I know).
500 things going at once. This is a mess. And I sense Bama nation going into overload like me. # posted by 4SEAM : 6:52 PM
So who has a contact on the team so we can find out whats up ASAP?
Thanks # posted by Anonymous : 7:09 PM

On the West Virginia Rodriguez thing...
The Greenbrier is there. That's where you schedule meetings for people you want to impress...especially when you want to sneak around and do it while off WV campus.

Fox 6 in Birmingham's news started w/Rick Karle reporting live in Tuscaloosa and there is a team meeting going on and said if there are any developments they would break in and report on it!!!!!!! # posted by Anonymous : 9:16 PM
Just in meeting has concluded Fox 6 talked w/2 players and everything went according to plan they said coach Shubose did'nt say anything regarding his coaching status.More from Rick Karle @10:00 # posted by Anonymous : 9:57 PM
I don't really know if Spurrier is in or out but all I do know is that it is time for a change in T-Town with the way this team is coached. Anyone can see that. Do I hope it's SOS? Sure, he's proven himself time and time again in college that he is one of the all time greats, so I'll be glad to have him........ I just wish for the fans and more importantly for the players this is over tonight so that we can put this behind us and look to the future of getting back to the elite programs in the country! But let's face it, if Shula stays I'll hate it but I'll always be a Bama fan no matter what the outcome. Through the good and the bad (but I'm sick of all the bad and am waiting on the good) Roll Tide!!!!!! KJ in the Ville! # posted by Anonymous : 9:59 PM
Rick Karle said Shubose talked only football to the players ie:start working out,preparing for bowl game (which they will not get a bid)business as usual.Karle said they expect to hear something as early as tommorrow morning.He said again that Shubose did'nt say anything about his future.Karle said "It's 10:01 and Mike Shula is still the head coach of the University of Alabama."I've got to work tommorrow so I can't wait to get on here after I get home and listened to Finebaum.RTR # posted by Anonymous : 10:23 PM
If Shula isn't fired everyone over the age of 30 who still supports him should get in their car and find Bill Curry and beg him to forgive them.. He went 10-2 and was fired- Bama beat one team with a winning record all season.. THE 1ST GAME!! We have been embarrased enough. It is time to cut our losses and get on with the program.

WINNING THE SEC TITLE: Spurrier said Tuesday night that the primary goal for the Gamecocks starting next year will be to win an SEC championship. "To win here and win a SEC championship is my goal and will be the team's goal every year starting next year." To win the SEC, Spurrier believes that the preparation has to start in the off-season. "We will have a plan in place," he said. # posted by Anonymous : 10:31 PM
