this is not the same shula who coached the bengals, it's his brother.
blazer,
i disagree with you that shula is a good hire because he does not have any head coaching experience. alabama is a prestigious football university with a great history, & i think that they should have hired someone who has a track record as a head coach. this is like notre dame hiring bob davie, who besides that he couldn't get a consistent winning record, he was unable to handle the presure from the alumni & the press. but we shall see.
