Unfortunately, the UAB program has been getting the shaft for a while now.

 

The Tuscaloosa good ol' boy network (led by Bear Bryant's son) has been holding the UAB program back for years.

 

They tried to hire Jimbo Fisher as their head coach eight years ago and the move was blocked by Bryant Jr and the board of trustees.

Here is another interesting story that came out recently about it. Again with Bryant Jr as the bad guy.

I know a guy who's a pretty big Georgia booster and supposedly there's an inner circle at Bama that makes all the decisions when it comes to football. A group of 8-10 guys. I can't remember what the name of it is but they go by something in reference to Bear Bryant.
