Now we wait...

Spurrier has reportedly said no.

Saban too.

Petrino has been silent.

Rich Rodriquez is rumored to be interested.

The bottom line is, get comfortable. It will be at least the end of the week, maybe as long as a month before the University of Alabama has a head football coach.

I am sorry to see CMS go. I like him a lot.

This is why we won't score a big time coach:

"Saban says Shula did a good job at Alabama and that he should have been given an opportunity to stay."

Who wants to walk into this cluster-fuck?

The expectations are outrageous.

The fans are crazy.

The administration is inept.

Sometimes its not all about the money.

To Coach Shula, I say this:

CMS, you earned one your year in my mind. I hope you return to the capstone down the line as a seasoned coach, and prove the haters wrong. You're a model human being, and the work you did at UA will live on here. You are not forgotten, you are appreciated, and there are tens of thousands of us that are sorry to see you go. 2007 will be for you CMS! Good luck wherever this thing takes you, and I hope to see you back on the sidelines of BDS one day down the line.

I hope that someone at UA knows something that the rest of us don't, because otherwise Alabama Football will be relegated to nothing but a memory.

If it hasn't already happened.

Stay Tuned...
