Alabama Crimson Tide football under Mike Shula covers the history of the University of Alabama Crimson Tide college football team during the period from when Mike Shula was hired as head coach in 2003 through his firing in 2006. Under Shula, Alabama played as part of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), and was member of the of the West Division of the Southeastern Conference (SEC). The Crimson Tide played its home games at Bryant–Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa and at Legion Field in Birmingham, Alabama. During the four years Shula served as head football coach, Alabama has compiled an overall record of ten wins and 23 losses (10–23, for a winning percentage of .300) and played in two bowl games during his tenure.

Hiring
After he led the 2002 team to a 10–3 record, on December 6, 2002, Dennis Franchione resigned as Alabama's head coach and accepted the same position at Texas A&M. Eleven days after the Franchione resignation, Washington State head coach Mike Price was hired as his replacement. Price served as the Crimson Tide's head coach through the end of spring practice in April 2003. After repeated warning about some of his off-the-field behavior, on May 3, 2003, university president Robert Witt announced the firing of Price effective immediately as the head coach of the Crimson Tide. After the dismissal of Price, Alabama interviewed three candidates to serve as his successor: Sylvester Croom, Richard Williamson and Mike Shula. On May 9, 2003, Alabama hired Mike Shula as their fourth head coach in four years.

First season
After Shula completed his staff in late May, attention turned to the season that started in August. Alabama opened the season with a 40–17 victory over South Florida for Shula's first victory in his first game as head coach of the Crimson Tide. The game against the Bulls was played at Legion Field, and it was noted for being the final one ever played by the Crimson Tide at the Birmingham landmark as the home team. The next week, Alabama played No. 1 ranked Oklahoma and nearly pulled off the upset but lost 20–13 in Tuscaloosa. The Crimson Tide rebounded the next week with a 27–17 win over Kentucky for Shula's first SEC win, but they followed the win with a 19–12 loss against Northern Illinois.
