(5) If he didn't have to rebuild Bama's program, how in hell did he lose to Louisiana-Monroe ???

I tend to think that Shula did a slightly better than average job at evaluating and signing talent.

However, his staff was weak in technique and discipline. It took well over a year for Saban to root out the slackers and attitude problems. He might not have had as much to "rebuild" but he definitely had to educate the Bama players on "The Process".
