"For what it is worth, here is an excerpt from the Mark Schlabach chat on espn.com earlier today.
Gary (Birmingham, Al): Any word on Shula at Bama? Does he get another year? Will Bama get swallowed in the sea of parity that is the SEC and never return to prominence? I personally think that is what is going to happen - the days of the Bear and unlimited scholarships are gone and I don't think Bama has the leadership as a program to return to being a perennial NC contender.
Mark Schlabach: (4:10 PM ET ) Stay tuned. Hearing it could get interesting."
