He had previously been namedSoutheastern ConferenceCoach of the Year for theCrimson Tide before poor seasons and personal controversy caused his firing in 2000. Dothan City school board members voted to hire DuBose, who came in with a wave of publicity and high expectations. However, the Cougars finished with a 0–10 record for the season and DuBose was gone at the end of the year.[5]
This was part of a tumultuous period for Northview football, which saw 39 consecutive losses from 2000 to 2004.[6] The team had won the Alabama State Playoff Championships in both 1981 and 1985, and made it to the playoffs five times during the 1990s.
