CRR is staying at wvu, his wife won out.. aaaggghhhhh!!!!!!!

I don't mean to offend Bama fans, but they are delusional if they think this is a plum job that everyone wants. Its quite simply not.
Tradition doesn't matter much in this day and age, and Bama is almost 15 years removed from a championship. The alumni and fans have very high and unrealistic expectations that any Coach is gonna be hard pressed to meet. The Sec is so very competitive and Bama has slipped behind LSU, Florida, Tennesee and Auburn in terms of where the program stands in the big picture of strength over the last decade.
Top college coaches used to shuffle around from job to job looking for pay raises. No, they just give you a raise at the school you coach at and keep you.
Rodriguez has life made where he is. He coaches the power team in the Big East, he has total fan and media support, and he can sit and wait for a plum job opportunity to come along.
I'm old enough to remember when people said Alabama, you thought immediately of powerhouse football team. Over the last few years all I think of when I hear Alabama is a team with no offense who goes nowhere.
I don't the Bama faithful and alumni realize this yet. They are mistaken if they think they are going to snap their fingers and get an established star coach there. Perhaps they could lure a has been star coach, or someone looking for a job who used to be a star, but its not gonna be easy to lure anyone there who is already a star. When you get a shot to move up from a good gig, you wanna make sure that move is to a GREAT job, and I don't think Rodriguez or anyone else is gonna consider Bama a great job.
They need to swallow their pride and look for a young guy on the way up! A guy who has star potential who can be hired. It would also help them to start fresh with a new first time coach who could build a new image there.
Maybe a guy who will try and actually throw the ball.
I'd start looking at NFL assistant coaches.

let's toss out a few words here: Gerry Faust, Bob Davie, Ty Willingham

last NC at Notre Dumb: 1988

Bama's last 1992

get you're facts straight

Texas, Oklahoma, ND, etc. all went through this until they got the right coach in place!

Mal Moore and Paul Bryant Jr. have to go.
