Also remember,Bear Bryant had agreed to become the coach of the Miami Dolphins before Shula...
He was great friends with Joe Robbie,but he backed out,to return to Bama...Don't believe? Read the book"I Ain't Nothing But A
Winner"....
In comes Shula....after he was run out of Baltimore.......Don Shula MADE the Miami Dolphins,but he had alot of good football people to help him.
After Don, We haven't been the same.
At Bama,after Bear left..we went thru alot of presidents,A.D.'s and coaches....none of them ever on the same page at the same
time...Hell,one president ran off Gene Stallings after he won a National championship.....but we still thought because we were Bama,
the best would want to come coach us...we didn't understand the crap that was running thru the univeristy....BOT with to much power,
boosters with to much money and influence...weak coaches and such...18 years of crap.....it took the right pres,to get the right A.D. to
get the right coach......BAM...three crystals in four years later...back with a DYNASTY....
Does this story sound familier to any long time Dolphin fans?
We just need to get the right football people in here,that want to be here.
Like Nick or hate him...want he has done( 4 championships in 8 years of college coaching) ranks with the ALL TIME GREATS.
He will go after Bear's record of six...and in this age of limited scholarships...well,that makes what Nick is doing more impressive than
what Paul did.....and I loved the Bear.
So that's,what Joe Friday would call "Just The Facts,Ma am'"....
