How do you last 12 years at UAB with just 3 winning seasons?

Have a powerful member of your Board of Trustees be the son of an even more powerful football coach who thought he was just the bee's knees.

That's how we got his replacement, too. Awesome, huh?

This was my first college road trip, too:

How Watson Brown lost more games than any coach in college football history - ESPN

The significance of the game can be seen only in the rearview mirror. The loss dropped the career record of Brown, the Owls' first-year head coach, to 18-19-1. He never got his record to sea level again.

Yeah, he'd have to go undefeated 7 years to break even.

I thought this thread was going to be about Troy.

I shouldn't be because UAB's been where Troy appears to be heading, perhaps conference play will get their groove back, and as for the Blazers, as optimistic as I am about this season, it's tempered with caution, trust me...

He was also the AD for a good period of that time. It's hard to convince yourself to fire yourself.
