Shula??? Hear me out...

OK, next year is basically a re-building year, right? I mean, Perrilloux will be learning how to be THE guy, or else he'll finally get himself thrown off the team, then either Lee or a true freshman will be learning the ropes. The defensive backfield and the linebackers will be largely new and unproven. Plus, we have the even-year hard schedule. I think that most Tiger fans are resigned to losing maybe 3 games next year.

Here's my dream. We sign Mike Shula to a one-year contract and let him be a lame duck figure-head. We keep Crowton and steal Muschamp.

Why? ...just to see the meltdown that would occur when Saban leads bama into Tiger Stadium and gets beat by Mike Shula. Next year, bama will still be on very wobbly legs, and there's no way they could beat us in Tiger Stadium, even if Charlie Weiss was our head coach. The rednecks would finally SNAP, all the way, and Saban would have to run for his life. It would just be funny to see. Blood from self-inflicted wounds, flowing down the streets in Tuscaloosa.

"Oh, Lordy. Mike Shula beat us with Les Miles' players."

We got nothing to lose, and bama would be reduced to Tulane status for at least the next 100 years.
