Crimson Tide fire Shula after 6-6 season

The Alabama Crimson Tide used head coach Mike Shula. That is the best way to describe it after the school fired Schula today.

Alabama was on probation when Shula took the job and they are set to finally come off it and receive all of their scholarships back in February. Shula had to coach the team under-manned for his entire tenure at the school.

The Tide was 10-2 last year and won it's bowl game against Texas Tech.

Sources are siting that Shula was fired because of the team's losses to rivals including Auburn and LSU.

Defensive coordinator Joe Kines has been named as the interim head coach. The Tide has had seven coaches in the twenty-four years since coach Bear Bryant retired.

There is no way to say Coach Shula wasn't screwed. He coached this team during it's most trying time and gets fired as his reward. Hopefully he will get another head coaching job elsewhere.
