Former Alabama Head Coach Mike Shula Motivates LaNorris Sellers Through Strange Methods: Roll Call

Former Alabama quarterback and head coach Mike Shula became the centerpiece of a strange subject at South Carolina on Tuesday. The former head coach is currently the Gamecocks offensive coordinator and is implementing an unusual prop to motivate his quarterbacks.

"It looks like real poop," starting quarterback LaNorris Sellers said. Shula apparently makes his quarterbacks walk down to his office and retrieve the prop when a poor play pops up on film.

"He keeps it in his office," Sellers explained. "He's like go get the dump up off his desk. Then we hand it to him, he's like... he just throws it on the table and is just like that's what you just did to me."

LaNorris Sellers says that OC Mike Shula has a fake piece of poop in his office.
