Its bad because it gives Bama even more reason to go after Cutliffe. They've expressed interest..and he has acknowledged he wants to be a head coach again. ......
I don't love it. I don't love it at all.
What do I love? I love it when Tennessee beats Bama and it means something. I love it when two storied, and still strong, programs go at it and the best team wins. I love it when Alabama is strong. I love it even more when Tennessee beats a strong Alabama rival.
So Bama: Get your sh*t together and give us a good ten-year rivalry for the ages.

With the exception of 1994, Bama has repeated the same pattern for 4 consecutive cycles covering 14 years... losing season, mediocre season, 10 win season.
They are delusional to think they've been an elite program for the last decade plus... and are idiots for getting rid of Shula who stood the best chance of anyone they could get of breaking out of the malaise.
In fairness, the word is that Ford does not have the grades to get into Bama. If that is true I don't know what to think about the guy considering that Bama sent me an unsolicited scholarship offer based on nothing more than an ACT score.If it wasn't bad enough that Bama lost the game, they are losing recruits too.
Mike Ford, a 5 star running back, decommitted from Alabama and will be enrolling at USF in the spring semester. Robert Marve, a 4 star QB, might not be far behind.
Maybe he could convince Michael Vick to come with him as QB coach:good!:I have a suggestion for Bama. Maybe they should hire Jim Mora as their HC. He and Bama both seem to be living in never, never land. Seems to be a perfect fit.:crazy: They obviously have enough money to steer him away from Washington and the Falcons.
