Bama never wasted time worrying about being fair or giving more time
Most coaches suck so you need to churn them out early and often until you find one that doesn't
Then you keep him
@WoolleyDoog is correct. Bama usually gives losers 3-4 years to right the ship. These are the guys just before and just after title winning coaches over the last 70 or so years.
Harold Drew 8 years 54-28-7 (7-3-1 avg.)
Jennings Whitworth 3 years 4-24-2 (1-9)
Ray Perkins 4 years 32-15-1 (8-4)
Bill Curry 3 years 26-10 (9-3 and sanctions)
Mike DuBose 4 years 24-23 (6-6)
Mike Shula 4 years 10-23 (3-8)
Not great records unless you’re a HOF type coach. DeBoer, you’re on the clock.
Judd/Lambo needs to win 9 this year and playoffs next year or GTFO.
