Maybe someone else should have been fired?

Schools with rich football traditions have become so focused on the short-term goals. One winning season in four years isn't going to cut it in Tuscaloosa. At least he lasted longer than Mike Price, who was employed all of four months thanks to the "strip club incident."

The administration for both the Athletic Department and University decided that they should do whatever is best for their team and go the right direction. They want a coach that meets or exceeds the expectations of winning. Not only winning, they want a coach that excels in academics and community service.

no i think the u of Alabama made another mistake

This was a humpty dumpty call. You can justify both sides. But I'll say it was fair.
