Tide Turning to Spurrier?

Last week after finishing 6-6 in the regular season, Alabama fired their head coach, Mike Shula, and is now looking for a new coach. This is one of the higher profile jobs in the country and arguably the highest profile job available (I know fans in Miami will beg to differ). Because of Alabama being such a high profile school, it is inevitable that big names will be linked to this job. The two biggest names linked to the job so far are South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier and Miami Dolphins coach Nick Saban. Both coaches say they are staying put, but we all know you can’t take a coach by his word. According to the people at Motivational Buck, they think that Spurrier is going to be the choice. I tend to agree with them, and despite what he has said previously, I think there is a good chance that Spurrier will end up "Rolling with the Tide.” If he does, the fans will be waiting with open arms.
