Tommy Bowden Should Not Be Alabama's Next Head Coach

Like probably most of you I've been reading and hearing rumors of Tommy Bowden as a possible candidate for coach. If the rumors are true and the powers that be are actually considering hiring any Bowden(including Daddy Bowden), then our program is in worse shape than I thought. I think it would be a monumental mistake to hire someone like Tommy Bowden at this point. To me it would be the equivalent of hiring Shula over again and firing him again in three or four years.

The fact of the matter is that Tommy Bowden doesn't have what it takes to take Alabama, or any other college football team, to the place where we want our program to get back to and that's a National Championship. Tommy Bowden may be a great guy and all that good stuff but we all know what happened the last time we hired a "Good Guy".

We'd be better off looking into hiring a good assistant coach from a successful program than even thinking about hiring someone like Bowden.
