But I do believe he did what he believes is best for his future. Alabama made a great choice in a new head coach and they will be a force to be reckoned with while Coach Fran is there. As a long time Bama fan, living in hostile territory, I only wish that he make the team consistently competitive. I was glad that Mal Moore finally moved out from the shadow of 'Bear' Bryant because it had to be done. He was a great coach and a great man, but the fans can no longer use him to measure other coaches.
Times have changed, so have the coaches.
