[i]Alabama had a chance to turn over a new leaf after the Price debacle. They could've followed Notre Dame's lead and brought in the first-ever black SEC football coach. Instead, they quickly threw Shula's name as the frontrunner, so they wouldn't have to deal with the pressure of hiring a black man. [/B]

I'm in complete agreement with you that Croom was the most qualified candidate and the obvious choice. However, the question is still out there that he had a better shot at getting the job BEFORE Jesse Jackson stepped in.
