Programs are rewarded with rational decisions
By Bill Curry
Special to ESPN.com
Insane Repetition
One definition of insanity is that of repeating the same behavior while expecting different results. Universities that routinely change coaches for capricious reasons appear to fit that definition. The decisions appear even more questionable when those coaches are fired only months after they're awarded expensive contract extensions.
Regular folks who love their schools and who follow such programs ask me every year, "What could they be thinking?"
.I confess to a bias in the Mike Shula situation at Alabama. His father, Don, became my head coach with the Baltimore Colts at a time when my playing career was very much in question. He and his staff are the reasons I was allowed to continue in the National Football League. Mike was a little fellow running around our training camp. Years later, as head coach at Georgia Tech, I would try to recruit Mike to be a part of our program. We were unsuccessful, and we competed with him during his outstanding playing career at Alabama. When we moved to Tuscaloosa in 1987, he was just graduating, and was among the first to warmly welcome us.
Putting aside personal loyalties, the facts of young Shula's employment situation bear review. When he was hired, Alabama was staggering from a series of coaching changes (Shula was the fourth in as many years), the Mike Price situation, severe NCAA probation with scholarship reductions and the fact that spring practice had already been completed.
Two cruel ironies that would seem to demand an explanation are that NCAA sanctions end in January 2007, and that Shula received a huge contract extension this past spring.
Would it have made sense to give the coach who inherited nightmare conditions a chance to coach beyond the NCAA probation/scholarship reduction period? If that thinking was not a part of the rationale, then why extend his contract in the spring?
Does the decision-making process appear rational?
At Arizona State, athletic director Lisa Love fired Dirk Koetter. Koetter came on board after Bruce Snyder, who, like Koetter, had a winning record and a bowl bid at the time of his firing.
Koetter, like Shula at Alabama, received a hefty multiyear contract extension less than a year ago.
Does the decision-making process appear rational to you?
Perspective
When football matters become impossible to understand, I call on Grant Teaff, executive director of the American Football Coaches' Association. Teaff had an incredible career as the head football coach at Baylor University, and has been serving the AFCA since 1993. I asked if college decision makers were really losing their minds.
Everything the Tide does is compared to Bryant.
"Tell those folks in Tuscaloosa that he's not coming back!" Grant responded.
I didn't have to ask who he meant. Bear Bryant's long shadow looms across the Alabama landscape, and is usually blamed for the huge expectations in the program. But Bryant cannot be held accountable for decisions he never would have made. For those of us who coached against him, we learned the hard way that he was rational above all else. His players remember him for always making the decisions that would be best for the program.
I told Grant that much more than a longing for Coach Bryant was involved here. He got serious and reflected from his unique vantage point. I paraphrase: "Most of the people making decisions about coaches these days have no football background. They did not play our sport, they did not coach it, and they simply do not understand it. So they work from their sports business school model, often ignoring the most important aspects of the situation: student-athlete welfare and fiscal responsibility."
Two types of situations are in play here. The one above involves a person, however well-intentioned, that has no possibility of understanding the complex dynamics of a major college football operation, with its 100 teenaged males and myriad issues related to their well being.
The second, equally devastating scenario is one in which the director has football credentials but is not allowed to actually make key decisions. Boosters who provide the hundreds of millions of dollars required to fund the facilities arms race manipulate decision making. I have no direct information indicating that this is the case in Alabama, but sources close to the program believe it with all their heart.
Stability
When stability is dictated by quality leadership, good football players gravitate toward the program, the local chapter of the Fellowship of the Miserable (moaners and complainers) shuts its mouth, student-athletes study, graduate and produce championships and programs prosper.
In the midst of behavior that appears to be insane, the rational alternative is all the more appealing. With The U.S. Congress looking on, it would seem that the millions of rational alumni of our great universities would do well to get involved and force sound hiring practices.

Bill Curry always did talk a good game.
A Picture is worth more than words.
look at this picture:
Curry posted an overall 34-43-4 record over seven years at Georgia Tech
Curry's three-year record at Alabama was 26-10-0. A lot of the players there then we're recruited by Ray Perkins. You have to give Homer Smith a lot of credit for those years.
Curry had an 0-3 record against Alabama's arch-rival Auburn. If I were an Auburn fan, I'd like him too.
Curry never achieved a record better than 6-6 at Kentucky (1993 ). The Wildcats posted six losing records in his seven years at Lexington, including a one-win season in 1994.

Gene Stallings won the 1992 NC with alot of Bill Curry's players. I fail to see the dropoff in terms of recruiting. I'm just saying Curry was a better coach then Perkins and a better recruiter then Stallings. What you're saying meshes up with what I'm saying.

No doubt he was a better coach than Perkins. The only thing footballesque about Perkins was his haircut, it looked like a big brown football helmet.

The fact is this: Both Bill Curry and Mike Shula were fired for one reason............
They could not beat Auburn!!!!
Mike Shula would be the head coach today if he could have found a way to beat a injured Auburn team playing without it's top receiver, injured QB and injured RB. Basically Auburn beat Bammer playing at 70% of their potential.
That is all...

Does ANYONE see what im talking about. He is whining and they WON. Give me a break, what would you expect Bill Curry to say, he was fired. As for Gene Stallings recruits, sorry, nice try but fact is the 1992 was Stallings 3rd year and with the exception of Teague, Curry and Copeland, that team was all Stallings. You guys ever heard of Shuan Alexander, think he was a MVP or something, wonder who recruited him?

I can't wait for Alabama to hire a coach! I'm more sick of this than them! Oh who could it be? All expected have not come, all dead didn't rise, and now we look for the unexpected. If we all didn't care this would not be a national topic. (I guess that means Alabama is still a national topic) With that, yes, they should feel important. So back to who do they hire? Nothing has been said in a while as far as friends (wife is big alabama) and google help me. Who could be the unexpected coach? Only Dumbo knows!!!! (just got a head slap by wife)

LOL--When did you crawl out of your hole? Everybody knows that Bill Curry was fired because he could not beat Auburn. The biggest controversy when he was hired by the UA was the fact that he never once beat Auburn in the twelve times he coached against them over his career.(0-12) Alabama fans never accepted Bill Curry as the head coach, he has the brick that was thrown through his window to prove it.
More from Bill Curry talking about the insanity at Alabama:
" I was surprised to have been approached about the job in 1987 (I was with the program through the 1989 season), at my visceral response to the challenge and by the company I would join. At the time I was hired, Dr. Joab Thomas was the university president and Steve Sloan became the athletic director.
I assumed that I was selected by a diverse committee representing the various factions of the university and, as a result, that the selection would be well received.
I was wrong. Alabama folks wanted one of Bear's boys.
My wife Carolyn recalls being picked up in the Citation II jet, the huge attendance at the press conference and live television. "The president of the United States doesn't get that kind of treatment," she said. Death threats were the order of the day as anonymous phone callers stated I would never survive the moment if I stood up at that dais.
My parents, initially thrilled by the appointment since they live in Alabama, were terrified by the death threats. Like any mom and dad, they lived in fear throughout the three-year experience. Carolyn's father left games "never quite sure who was on our side and who was not." He was speaking of Alabama fans.
I got three years to coach at Alabama before they ran me out of town."
True words from a good man that was treated like dirt by the delusional Bama fans.
BTW.... Bill Curry' record at Alabama was 26-10, including one SEC Championship, and three bowl appearances during his three year tenure.
After posting a 10-1 regular season record, his 1989 Crimson Tide squad shared the Southeastern Conference title with Auburn and Tennessee, and earned the berth in the 1990 USF&G Sugar Bowl where they lost to the University of Miami.
As a result the 1989 season, Bill Curry was honored as the SEC Coach of the Year by the Associated Press. He was also the recipient of the Bobby Dodd National Coach of the Year award.
Bill Curry's three-year record at Alabama was 26-10-0 giving him the highest winning percentage among Alabama coaches since the death of Bear Bryant. Unfortunately, that wasn't good enough for the delusional Alabama people, they ran the man out of town a few months later.

A trip down memory lane:
This sad story begins in May 1999:
UA Head coach Mike Dubose has an affair with his secretary and lies about it, and the university eventually pays $360,000 to settle a sexual harassment claim.
UA Head coach Mike Dubose resigns amid losing season, cheating, lying and God knows what else.
New coach Dennis Franchione is hired to clean up the mess and restore image.
Fatcat booster Logan Young tries to land a blue chip recruit(Albert Means) by offering 200,000 to a high school coach.
NCAA says it is investigating former head coach and assistants for committing rules violations.
NCAA punishes university; one member of the sanctions committee says the university was this close to the death penalty.
Dennis Franchione begins to turn things around, then realizes the brunt of NCAA sanctions is yet to come (ramifications from scholarship reductions) and bolts for Texas A&M
New coach is hired (Mike Price) to clean up the mess and restore the image.--LOL
Months before his first game, Mike Price goes to a strip club and has a %$#$ with a stripper who apparently isn't rock 'n roll zero Dee Snyder.(It's rolling baby it's rolling)
Mike Price is fired for --&%&%! -- questionable morals. Anyone else see the irony?
Mike Shula is hired to clean up the mess and restore the image. A 37-year-old kid with no head coaching experience, yet an undying love for his alma mater and the fact that nobody else would accept the job. Now go out and recruit for our fine university, son -- and win in four years or you're out.
After only 3 seasons as head coach, Mike Shula goes 10-2 with victories over Florida, Tennessee and Texas Tech in the Cotton Bowl.
One year later in only his 4th season, Mike Shula gets thrown under the bus by the UA Administration and is fired after a 6-6 season. Shula had just signed a new six-year contract in May for $1.55 million annually.
Mike Shula saved this same Alabama football program that was on the brink of complete destruction the day he was hired.
The truth is this: Mike Shula got Alabama out of a huge mess with the NCAA and was in the process of restoring the Universities image. Unfortunately, he was also forced to swallow all the blame, mistakes and sins of Bama' past. He was only 41 years old and truly loved his alma mater. And you people wonder why nobody wants to coach at Alabama.

Hey shk99. You should learn to spell it before you start accusing someone of it. It plagiarism not pladurism.

Dang shk99. He may have majored in plagiarism. I went back and read what you wrote in your post agian and we can all say for a fact you didn't win you 3rd grade spelling B.
Putting the jokes aside, the Auburn fans dumping on Bama in their coaching search is getting old. There is not a fan on this site that has any control over who they hire or who they have fired. I am still hoping the Alabama gets a good coach. We do not need any more ammo for the Northern ( big 10 and big east) biased media. The Alabama Crimson Tide can atleast decide on what they want to use as a mascot.

What the heck does go TIGERS War Damn Eagle suppose to mean anyways?

I'll make sure to forward all of my emails to shk99 before I post next time--LOL
Unfortunately, the MSM has more than enough ammo to use against Bammer for the next decade....and this coaching search is making matters worse.
Just look at the number of coaches these people have welcomed to the UA before receiving any official verification.
These people go to other teams message boards screaming of stealing their coaches. Have you already forgotten how they acted towards all of the South Carolina fans?
There is a reason why everybody in the MSM is slamming Bammer right now and it's not going to stop any time soon.
Have you not figured it out yet?
" Maybe Alabama wouldn't be so quick to have fired Mike Shula if they knew that nobody in America who mattered would be willing to step in and replace him.
Look at who has already said no. Nick Saban: Pass. The Ol' Ball Coach: No thanks. Frank Beamer: Why should I? Bobby Petrino: Downgrade. Rich Rodriguez: Make me. Oh, and Jim Leavitt wants nothing to do with you. That has to hurt. Being Alabama and getting the Heisman from the coach at South Florida, at least the U. was turned down by Rutgers. At this point, you might as well dig up Bear Bryant. Or better yet, see if Mike Price is still interested. Trust me, you're not going to do any better.
The front of the jersey may still say Alabama but in name only. That program is nowhere right now. It's become an SEC afterthought. Enjoy the glory days of Bryant, Namath, Stabler, Stallings, Alexander, Price because that's all you have and that is not going to change."

So I guess this is your way of denying that you are a fake. No need to forward me your emails, Im sure I have already read what you have to say somewhere else before you copied it and changed a couple of words.

You shouldn't argue with the Barn Critters.
Just hit em on the nose with a stick and shoo em back under the fence where they belong.
