Alabama To Fire Shula

After a 6-6 season, The Tuscaloosa News is reporting that Mike Shula will be dismissed. Shula, who was hired in May of 2003, was told late last night that he had been let go. In four seasons at Alabama, he compiled a 26-23 record. Expectations were high for the Crimson Tide after a 10-2 mark and a trip to the Cotton Bowl, but things unraveled this season as they slid behind Arkansas, LSU, and Auburn in he standings, with the last straw coming after a 22-15 loss to Auburn.
