Tide Coach

Well, since Greg challenged me and there's nothing else to talk about in Alabama much today, I guess I could talk about the coaching position. I am also a Miami Dolphin fan son this is kind of double sweet to me.

I was really frustrated with the inept offence we had last year. It seemed like whenever we got a lead, we went into a conservative mode. Run up the middle, run to the right, run to the left, punt, then lose the game.

My real problem is the fact that I don't think that Shula was always the problem. I never have been a fan of "coach-blaming" although this year I did plenty of it. In fairness to the fans though, the buck stops with him.

The difficulty with coaching Alabama is that many of the fans are still looking for another Bear Bryant. That's just not going to happen. I guess Gene Stallings was the closest. That's why every time we get a new coach (and that seems like every year) I ask several questions. Will he be able to beat Auburn? Will he last very long? Will he be aggressive on offence? Will he help Alabama bring back the respect we once had in the SEC and in the nation?

I guess time will only tell if all these questions will be answered. For now at least we can relax with some newfound hope.

Roll Tide!!

Happy New Year!!

Just wishing all of my blog family a wonderful new year and that God will bless you with renewal in His Holy Spirit. Bless you all!!
