If you want to know the truth when Shula was hired (quickly) by Bama the Black coaches assoc went nuts because Bama basically told them to eat a ****. Slive got grilled on espn radio and basically promised the next sec coach would be black. I remember thinking oh **** listening to it, I still remember exactly where I was. We were up next and that was all she wrote. We were in no position to disagree with probation hanging over us, and we were cut a deal/break for "doin' the right thang". A lot of MSU losses and a lot of fired SEC coaches followed in the wake, LOL.
But it's all good now.
