I'd have more respect for Alabama, if they hadn't hired Mike Price to be their coach.
But to their credit, they fired him before he saw the field.
Even the big schools aren't immune to fucking up, but they are decisive very quickly if the coach does not win. I'm somewhat surprised Kiffin made it out of last year.
My theory is, he's sort of there to ride out the sanctions. If he wins 10, 11, 12 games, awesome (I believe they did win 11 or so in 2011...too lazy to look it up), if not, they will hire someone better in 2014..or whenever. It seems like a Troogish thing to do, but maybe the sanctions scared off some better people. I was a little surprised they didn't can him after 7-6 last year, but that just adds validity to my awesome theory.
