with Stallings about what he went through as coach and "gleaned from that knowledge"—an oversight that he still regretted. He left Alabama with a record of 24–23 and 16–16 in SEC play. However, the 1999 SEC championship season was his only winning record in SEC play. After a long coaching search in which Butch Davis, Frank Beamer, Tommy Bowden, and others were considered for the job, Alabama Athletics Director Mal Moore hired Dennis Franchione to replace DuBose. Unfortunately for Alabama, the effects of the DuBose era would not dissipate so quickly. The NCAA would, shortly thereafter, begin investigating the recruitment of Albert Means, a star defensive lineman recruited out of Memphis, Tennessee. Although DuBose was not implicated in any wrongdoing, Alabama was nevertheless hammered for the violations that occurred on his watch, which included a loss of 21 scholarships over three years, a two-year bowl ban, and five years of probation. After Alabama After a brief respite from coaching, DuBose was hired as head coach of the Northview High School football program in Dothan, Alabama. During his only year there in 2002, the team had an 0-10 record, in the midst of a losing streak that preceded and continued well beyond his tenure. After leaving Northview, DuBose was named head coach of the Luverne High School football program in Luverne, Alabama in 2003. During his two seasons at Luverne, 2003 and 2004, he led the Tigers to a 20-7 record and the 2003 state runner-up in the 2-A classification. In the 2-A state championship game at Legion Field, the Tigers lost to Randolph County, who was led to victory on the heels of Ezekiel Knight's 31-yard touchdown run, and 77-yard punt return for a touchdown. Weeks later, Knight would sign a letter of intent to play for Alabama. Millsaps In 2005, DuBose became the defensive coordinator for the Millsaps College Majors. In his first season at Millsaps, the team struggled to a 2-7 record. After the 2005 season, DuBose became the Majors' head coach. 2006 In his first season as head coach, Millsaps shocked the SCAC by finishing undefeated in conference play and earning the conference's automatic playoff bid for the first time since 1975. DuBose was named the SCAC's 2006 coach of the year for engineering the Majors' remarkable turn-around. Sophomore quarterback Juan Joseph was named the league's offensive player of the year and Senior wide receiver Chris Jackson
