[QUOTE="DeepSnap, post: 950293, member: 4589"] Curry wasn't fired at Alabama so much as he was shoved. STRONGLY..... all kinds of nonsense - moving vans in front of his house, eggings, bricks through windows & IIRC into his office, etc. Surprisingly, his leaving for Kentucky really got up the collective noses of the Alabama faithful. If he was going to leave before they could fire him, how dare he go to Kentucky. They did the same thing when Dennis Franchione left Bama after only two years in 2002 for Texas A&M. President Joab Thomas & AD Steve Sloan, however, were canned by "UAT" - they HATE that - and eventually Mal Moore was named AD & Gene Stallings, a former aTm player under Bryant and Bryant Asst at Bama, were brought in. It was Stallings that won a MNC with Curry's players. Another sticking point for the Bammers with Curry, in addition to not being a Bryant Disciple & having played & coached at the "beneath them Georgia Tech," was moving the Iron Bowl from Birmingham to a Home&Home series with the Awbies. The thought of having to go Auburn was just too much for the UAT whine&cheese crowd. Bill had to go. Working over here at Redstone from 1991-2012, I got a really rude awakening to the fantasy entitlement attitude of the Bammers, much like the Ugag FB crowd, or the Duke, UNC, and Kentucky MBB fans, and really enjoyed their failings & flailings in the pre-Saban era.
