re: Odd but very interesting conversation with a huge Bama fan

As someone who lived in Alabama through the post-Bryant years:

Her thoughts are not new. That’s exactly how Ray Perkins got hired. They wanted some stability, keep the lights on and win a few games until they could figure out a plan.

That patience lasted about 3 months. Within a year there were bumper stickers everywhere that said “DIG HIM UP”. They fired Perkins, threw a brick through Curry’s office window and ultimately wore Stallings’ arse out. Then the really bad crap started happening.

Old heads will remember. That is one miserable, meddling, never-satisfied booster pool and fanbase. Nick pulled a miracle keeping them at bay. This next decade is going to be an absolute sh*t show in Tuscaloosa.
