Alabama football history has had several inflection points; times when things could have gone in two divergent directions and changed the course of the program forever. What if Bobby Bowden got the Alabama job in 1987? Legendary Florida State head coach Bobby Bowden was an Alabama native and considered the Crimson Tide his dream job. What if Tim Tebow signed with Alabama instead of Florida in the 2006 recruiting class? He wouldn't have reached those heights with Shula in Tuscaloosa, but Alabama probably does well enough that Shula remains the Tide's head coach through Tebow's tenure.
