re: The 1979 coaching search - deja vu all over again?

That game was one of the very few day games. I believe it was a noon kickoff. If we give Bowden a real night game things may have been very different.
Believe me, if he had seen anything near what USC saw earlier that year he never would have gotten on the plane back to Tallahassee.

And the last time LSU hired a coach just to beat Bama they went into the wilderness for 20 years.

the good news is Alabama is going to go through hell for about 15-20 years after saban hangs it up

following a legend like him will suck for anyone trying to keep Bama at the top.

Enjoy it while it last

Lora Hinton fumbled in the game in 1979? Are you serious dude what did they do pull him out of the stands to run the ball? He finished his eligibility in 1975 so how did he fumble in 1979:

So if you are looking at parallels, Jimbo is going to meet with a tragic accident after being hired. We end up with Orgeron anyway?
