IF he were good he would not have been fired. Other than Bama in 82 with Reggie Collier i see no other big wins. Alot of the big names these days were winnable games back then.

Carmody was 4-2 against MSU and 2-1 against OM. Most importantly he beat OM the last two years they would play us. Sorry, but I haven't forgotten those wins.

I think Carmody was good, but Aubrey Lucas saw attendance dwindling and concluded Carmody was producing a boring product. It was kind of like the Bower decision, but back then we had a lot more clout, so it wasn't really that unreasonable to dismiss Carmody and try someone new.

Sounds like Bower.

03 TCU is his 82 'Bama.

would agree with most of that......toss in the personality differential, (commode-id-tee vs. the bow tie) and it becomes 'win'

the taste I have with the 'how' bower was released still pisses me off...you either do it 5/6/7 yrs earlier, or you don't pull the trigger...you have a sit down, and let him bow out gracefully....

He probably was still getting over his contact buzz last year at UK. He was still drunk from smelling Holgorsen's breath for 4 years.
