 * Symbol possible vote.svg Expansion requirements check out. The hook is a bit negative, though factual, about Price's dismissal per Did_you_know/Reviewing_guide. You could reword it to Shula "succeeded Mike Price", but perhaps there is a more interesting hook. Also, I would not use this photo, as a non-Alabama fan might not recognize which team is which in the photo; it's also too small to see anything without clicking on the picture.—Bagumba (talk) 21:33, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
 * No problem. I have reworded the hook below and do not have an issue with not using the image and have removeed it from consideration. Thanks and please let me know if someting else needs to be amended. Patriarca12 (talk) 21:56, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

 * ALT 2 ... that Mike Shula succeeded Mike Price as the head coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide football team in 2003?
 * Symbol redirect vote4.png The month seems trivial, and 2003 seems repetitive in ALT1.  I'll propose ALT2 for someone else to approve.—Bagumba (talk) 00:17, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg This is an impressive, well-cited five-fold expansion. It is both new enough and long enough. The ALT2 hook is well referenced. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:29, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
