Alabama Fires Coach Mike Shula

Alabama coach Mike Shula was fired after a 6-6 season that ended with three straight losses, including a defeat by state rival Auburn, according to this full AP story.

Contrary to what the sports guys on TV said, the Tuscaloosa News broke the story on their Website.

And contrary to all the rampant TV talk speculation:

Saban Says He Has No Interest in Alabama Job

Spurrier Says He's Not Leaving South Carolina

It's not such a big surprise, really, is it? The play calling this year was iffy at best. The kicking game was such that my one big question is: Why did no one think to practice and implement a fake field goal play? That could have saved several games and Mike Shula's job. Duh.
