Who all is for a Rita Rodriguez statue outside the stadium?

  • After all, if not for her hatred for Alabama, where might we be now?

  • Finebaum as well, without him making fun of her trailer park hair who knows where we'd be?

  • Good question, lets think about some hypotheticals...

    Lets assume he would have come in and had a similar record as he did at UM, except with a few more wins because we would have had better defense. He would have been an okay recruiter, not great. If we would have fired him after last season, I would think we would have made a run at JIm Harbaugh.

    I also think we'd have a new AD by now, assuming the powers that be would have forced Mal into retirement for hiring another lousy coach. Let's face it, hiring Saban completely changed Mal's legacy at UA, fair or not.

    I think it would be very interesting for someone to do the research into how long he really may have lasted at UA, which recruits he would have gone after and likely signed from the southeast and this state during his time, who the potential replacements would have been based on other hirings/firings, etc. I don't have the time to look into all that, but it would be interesting. Sort of like the piece ESPN did over the summer of how different things would have been if Saban would have gone to UM and Rodriguez had come here, but more detailed. I recall them having Saban winning a title there already and pulling Mark Ingram to Ann Arbor and keeping Ryan Mallett from transferring to Ark. Very interesting "what if" stuff.

    No way to accurately depict her hair with bronze, IYAM.
