From Adam in Greensburg, Pa.: I looked at the list of potential coaching candidates for the Alabama job and was surprised by who was left off. Sylvester Croom was the runner up the last time Alabama hired a coach. Also, with someone like Norm Chow still floating around I'd take a shot at him.

Feldman: I think if Croom had gotten Mississippi State to a bowl game this season, 'Bama probably would've considered him, but right now hiring a coach that hasn't won 10 games in three seasons would be a tough sell to the Tide fan base, even though MSU really was a mess when he took over. As for Chow, I'm not sure how badly he really wants to be a head coach. Most career assistants really have to be politic to get their first head coaching job and that doesn't sound like something he really is comfortable doing.
