The way people talk about Mike Shula you'd think he totally shite the bed in recruiting. His classes given what Alabama had been through prior to his taking over were not that bad.

In retrospect, Shula did a pretty good job at stopping the bleeding and keeping the program from completely disappearing (like Nebraska and Tennessee).

His firing had more to do with Auburn completely lapping us during the same time frame and the regression in 2006 than anything else
