 Gene Stallings Says He Would Accept Bama Offer BAMA FANS: If you are serious about us getting a coach that might provide us with some stability and put us back on our feet, consider Gene Stallings. We have missed the window to hire a good head coach and it is now time for plan B. We have no leadership. We must first get our program stabilized before we move ahead and make even more stupid decisions. Please e-mail Mal Moore, and ALL of the sports editors of newspapers and T.V. stations throughout Alabama. Gene Stallings told Paul Finebaum that he would accept the job if it was offered to him. Listen for yourself, Gene Stallings on the Paul Finebaum show: http://www.finebaum.com/ It is up to us. We can make it happen. Tell them we want Gene Stallings and that he has said he would agree to take the job if it was offered to him.

| Re: Gene Stallings Says He Would Accept Bama Offer Glad to have you here. Great idea of yours to e-mail the beat writers for the Crimson Tide. If the AD doesn't listen to the fans, these guys certainly will. |

| Re: Gene Stallings Says He Would Accept Bama Offer I agree, it is not their job to influence the search. It is their job to report the news, and if thousands of Bama fans raise hell that we want Coach Stallings back, THAT will be news. I have e-mailed all of them as well, no responses yet. I will keep at it though, and I URGE everyone else to do the same. If you agree that we need to take up Coach Stallings offer to come to Bama, then you must help get the word out. If you just read this and don't act then you will not have room to gripe when Mal hires a no name coach and we reamin the laughing-stock of college football. |

| Re: Gene Stallings Says He Would Accept Bama Offer i understand the need for a coach, with only a few months of recruiting left i understand the need for one. However, why would you want a 70+ year old coach that hasnt coached in awhile. havent we seen problems with gibbs adjusting to a more modern style? Dont you guys think this will cause the same problem with recruiting as in the case of joe pa and bowden, recruits dont know if they will be their for all four years. Then again noone knows how long any coach will be at alabama. Why do you guys want a 71 year coach so bad??? I wasnt old enough to remember him so i dont know if he was a terrfiec coach or an ok coach. So Im not completly sure how great of a move this is just seems bad to me for recruiting

| Re: Gene Stallings Says He Would Accept Bama Offer Stallings would provide temporary stability, maybe one or two years. We could continue to search for the right coach without having to make a decision in a hurry. Is having Stallings on a temporary basis not a better decision that hiring a no-name coach for the long term? I think it the best and maybe only way to get us through the next couple of seasons. I would be willing to listen to other suggestions, BUT do not throw out more of these no-name head coaches. |

 Re: Gene Stallings Says He Would Accept Bama Offer The University of Alabama was a football power many years before the greatest Coach came home to restore the programs greatness. Since his death 25 years ago nothing has been quite the same. Those who remember him have been slow to realise that being one of Bear's boys is not neccesarily all that is needed to restore the Tide's former greatness. I think that it is time to move on. Stallings is a great coach but like so many of us he needs to step aside for a younger man. They are out there, maybe not as high profile as many fans would want but they are there. Remember the War Eagle found an up and coming head coach from East Carolina several years back and Pat Dye did OK. Just some thoughts from an old fan. I think it is time for a new beginning based on a tradition that is second to none. Roll Tide! |

| Re: Gene Stallings Says He Would Accept Bama Offer I'm new to this board. I hope I don't get to longwinded but here goes: I love CGS to death. He is honest and strict and always acts with class on and off the field. I watched him become the FIRST NCAA DI coach in history to go 13-0, and watched bama destroy Miami and that heisman guy (whats his name?). After that game he shook hands with the Miami coach and players and told them good game. (He didn't act like that other coach in our state after a win) That said, consider that he is 71 years old. Although he'd never complain, the rigors of the Alabama HC job would wear him down quickly, and he doesn't need that or really even want it. On Finebaum he said that he would consider helping out for a short period, but he didn't want the job long term. How about making him AD instead. Moore has had four or five chances to hire a good coach and came up with what? Dubose, Franchione, Price, and Shula,<--- (Whom I thought was doing alright BTW). Shula has more character than all of the others put together, and Moore fired him for going 6-6 with a bunch of freshmen and sophomores. Maybe it's time for a change, but if Moore was bound to do it, he should have had someone ready to sign on the dotted line before he fired CMS. We need someone for a long term coach; I think Gene Stallings Loves this school and would be a better judge of coaching flesh than MM has proven to be (IMO). Let him either step in as a new AD or at least let him be the one to conduct the search/interviews for the HC job. It is mid December so there's no need to panic like when Price was fired in mid May. There's plenty of time before spring practice. We might take a hit in the recruiting arena, but we can withstand that better than we can withstand another bad selection as HC. That would mean 2, 3, or 4 years and yet ANOTHER coaching search. So for what it's worth, that's my two cents worth. I look forward to next season and the next coach.
