Open Letter to Sly Croom

Props to Sly Croom, he just may have saved Alabama football (if in fact [the administration] lets Shula go or he resigns).
-Andy Robinson November 5th 2006

Dear Sly,

Thank you so much for what you’ve done for the University of Alabama. Your playing days were very memorable and you showed great discipline and work ethic, things that are the indicative of a great Tide player. As a coach you led the Tide to many bowls and two national titles. You are the epitome of class and everyone should strive to live up to your example.

Roll Tide. Your heart has been in Tuscaloosa as well as your knew home, Starkville. There, you are carrying on a tradition of great coaches to have graduated under Denny Chimes. Even while conducting your duties as a coach of the Bulldogs, you managed to save ‘Mamma from endless mediocrity.

You beat the daylights (there are other words) out of a Mike Shula coached team in Bryant Denny Stadium. This victory eventually resulted in the firing of Michael, a great day in Alabama history. The administration in Rose should rename the field, Croom Field at Bryant Denny for you provided the catalyst to end the second worst period in Alabama football history. Roll Tide.

Sincerely,


The Crimson Tide Nation
