No real new news at Shula's press conference other than the NCAA letter. Shula said the assistant coaches applauded in the meeting when they were told. Said they were the ones that had been forced to deal with all the false rumors on the recruiting trail. Pollard did nothing at all wrong. It was a matter of Shula getting a chance to hire what he sees as one of the best SC coaches in the NFL. No other staff changes, and everyone there took that to include on- and off-the-field positions. There's a chance that Brodie will be able to do some partial team work during spring practice--Shula called it 7-on-7 work. Spencer will do some light throwing, but nothing more. http://mb2.theinsiders.com/falabamafans48326frm1.showMessage?topicID=48561.topic J.E.

[RollTideFan] How are things going with Bama's new coach?...
These are tough times for Crimson Tide fans. Unaccustomed to losing even in small does, a 3-6 record rankles. And now, barring a miracle four-game run, Alabama will finish with only its fourth losing record since Coach Paul Bryant famously answered Mama's call and took over the team way back in 1958. http://alabama.theinsiders.com/2/196136.html J.E.

While Alabama Head Coach Mike Shula is pleased with the way his Crimson Tide football team has prepared, he pointed out Tuesday that, We aren't through with our preparation yet. We need three more good days. Those days were to begin with Tuesday afternoon's practice and continue through Thursday with a walk-through in Tuscaloosa Friday. http://alabama.theinsiders.com/2/172164.html J.E.

and practicing with the team. He's listed at 6-4, 190. I'm not sure he's quite that tall, though 6-2 would certainly be legitimate. Also, he looks thicker than 190 to me. Good looking prospect. We'll see how he works out. http://insiders2.ezboard.com/falabamafans48326frm1.showMessage?topicID=42960.topic J.E.

[RollTideFan] Shula takes advantage of assistants...
Alabama's football team will have something of a rehearsal Friday as Coach Mike Shula takes the Crimson Tide to Bryant-Denny Stadium for a mock game. It is not a game or even a scrimmage. Instead it is a partly instruction on game-day aspects (where the players will go for pre-game warm-ups, sidelines organization for players and coaches, etc., and partly practice of special situations, such as the punt after a safety and some other special situations, many of them relative to the kicking game. http://alabama.theinsiders.com/2/170578.html J.E.

[RollTideFan] O-Line status report...
With a new head coach, a new offensive coordinator and an entirely new offensive playbook, it's safe to say that early on the Tide will be relying on its veteran and talented offensive line. Position Coach Bobby Connelly provides a status report. http://alabama.theinsiders.com/2/169748.html J.E.

[RollTideFan] Defense wins third scrimmage...
Under a blistering August sun, the Tide went through its final scrimmage of fall camp. Afterwards, Head Coach Mike Shula was reasonably pleased with his team's effort. We started slow; I guess we were a bit lethargic, Shula said. But we came on there at the end. http://alabama.theinsiders.com/2/169928.html J.E.

[RollTideFan] Finally eligible!...
Some things just don't come easily. But in the end, Le'Ron McClain got what he'd been waiting for. After receiving word Friday afternoon that he had been passed by the NCAA Clearinghouse, the stellar fullback was dressed in Alabama gear and participating in practice. It feels great to be out here, McClain said to reporters afterwards. It's been a long time waiting. http://alabama.theinsiders.com/2/168752.html J.E.

[RollTideFan] Tide legends believe in Shula...
Some men with exceptional football bloodlines and a personal interest in the situation believe that Mike Shula will be an excellent Alabama football coach. A select group of former Crimson Tide legends, along with another legend from the National Football League, gathered in Tuscaloosa this weekend for the Crimson Tide Celebrity Golf Classic to raise funds for Bama athletics.
