What would have happened at Alabama had he been ousted after those two seasons? Would they have won 9 SEC titles and 3 National Championships?

He also saw his recruiting go in the tank near the end of his tenure. Tuberville should not have been fired and wouldn't have been anywhere but in the schizophrenic program in which he was coaching. That said, his recruiting had also slowed in recent years, and he made a gamble with a radical change to his offense... that completely backfired, resulting in a season far, far worse than any Richt has had (including this one). And Bobby Bowden's team has just been mediocre for nearly a decade running now. These comparisons are unbelievably bad.
