For all of you saying that Gottfried was a good coach, you should probably rethink your reasoning. Gottfried is 198-123 in 11 seasons and his teams have been on a downward spiral for the last few seasons. Not suprising to me, good recruiter, bad coach. With all the high school talent that is in Alabama, all they need is a good coach, they can land the talent, Gottfried done less with more than any other coach in the SEC.

:confused: A .621 winning percentage makes a bad coach? How many programs would like to consitently win 19 games a year. Alabama, a Football school, is one of the toughest jobs in the SEC. Alabama kids have not stayed in Bama since Wimp coached there. I disagree, Gottfried has done a very solid job.

For me, whats the underlying story here. I don't think Gottfried left (or fired) without something that is not being publicized. This smells of something ripe.
