Alabama fired their national championship coach Stallings.

Alabama also fired Shula this year after a 10-2 season last year (and giving him a raise).

This is not the behavior of adults, and it will be a negative in the eyes of the very coaches that Alabama wishes to hire.

In fact, Alabama fires coaches at the drop of a hat...or more accurately, if they don't please Paul Bryant, Jr.

Mark Price has officially stated that he is not interested in this job.

Intelligent coaches don't want to report to Mal de Moore?

I remember one year Earl Bruce (the Ohio State football coach in the 80's) turned down a job offer from Texas A&M one year to stay at Ohio State. The next year OSU lost a few games and he was fired.

Can blame him for staying WVU is a young team and next year could be a real serious national championship type season for them.

Screw the Tide. I hope that they can't get anyone.
