Maybe it's just me but he seems soft as a coach. Can't see him being a good fit at Bama.
Not sure if it's why we didn't hire him but there were "insinuations" about some gambling habits.........
more about his spreading the love I believe
Wasn't there a female intern involved?Quote:

And will self impose a near death penalty over minor infractions. UNC (considered a premier public university) has a major cheating scandal for many years involving numerous players, they fought it and never got any penalty. We have a minor cheating scandal and self imposed, what 8 game suspensions for the football players?Quote:
