When UAB fans point at your program and say, "Wow. What a f'n train wreck." you have a problem.

This adds a new name to the "will they ever gat hired again" list already headed by Kevin Steele who was such a hot name just two years ago. One bad loss at Clemson seems to have dissipated his "cred" and now there is Ellis Johnson.

Scarbo tweeted me and thinks that someone else will hire Johnson. Whosoever will, let them know the lyrics to the song, "What Kind Of Fool Am I."

Oh, he'll get hired again. As a defensive coordinator, and he'll probably be a good one. Much like Neil Callaway was one hell of an offensive line coach.

Once they're demoted back to their level of competence, they'll be fine.

I must not be living right.

I remember, IIRC, when the son of an international hotel mogul won $10 million on a $1 scratchoff ticket he bought at a convenience store one day while stopping for gas....Just for fun, he said it was...I'll bet...Some guys have all the luck, that's all there is to it...
