Yes. In his 3rd season there, he led them to a number 8 national ranking and was then given a contract extension for 6 years. For whatever reason, he was fired after his 4th season there. Reminds me of Lane Kiffin, who led Southern Cal to a Top 10 national ranking in his 2nd season there and then, for whatever reason, was fired in the middle of his 4th season there. Like Shula, Lane Kiffin is offensive-minded. Not a bad comparison if you ask me. Shula has been an Offensive Coordinator in the NFL. One year as OC in the NFL, he was named the "Offensive Coordinator of the Year", which is better than Dowell Loggains who had the reputation as the "worst Offensive Coordinator in the NFL".
