how close are we?
 Then I got to thinking. Trying too think back 10 years ago and our efforts to improve and googled this

The 2006 Alabama Crimson Tide football team represented the University of Alabama for the 2006 NCAA Division I FBS football season trying to improve from a 10–2 record in the 2005 season. The Tide was led by head coach Mike Shula entering his fourth year at Alabama. Despite a strong 5–2 start, they finished out the season by losing four of their final five games. The team closed the regular season at 6–6 (4–4, SEC) and lost for a fifth-straight time to rival Auburn. Following the loss Shula was fired as head coach and defensive coordinator Joe Kines served as interim head coach for the bowl game.
The Tide were defeated by Oklahoma State in the 2006 Independence Bowl 34–31 to finish the season with a 6–7 (2–6) record. However three years later all six wins of the season were vacated as part of a penalty placed against Alabama by the NCAA for infractions committed during the season. As such, the official record for the 2006 squad is 0–7.

Not really. Saban was a known quantity, not some unknown from another college.

That's been overblown. That $4 mil a year was the big factor. The highest paid college coach at the time was making $2 mil a year. Rumor was that Mal was told to get Saban or not come back & boosters were willing to fork over the big bucks. Moore was on a super hot seat after the the Mike Price & Mike Shula disasters. Most folks have very short memories.

Overblown? Hmm..... I didn't see anybody else getting Saban.

Nine coaches made over $2mil in 2006.  Bob Stoops was over $3mil.  Kirk Ferentz actually pocketed about $4.6mil, but that included a $1.8mil one-time payment of some sorts.

Correct. What is a fact is that MM came back to T-Town with CNS.
