That's Battle. It's so past time for him to GTFO.

Looks like Goff to Bama is done. Not our first choice but I'm happy with it

I don't like Battle at all, but I'm glad we made a change. If you have the "ok", then why do you lowball?

If that's true, then Battle needs to get the frick out.

Still happy about this hire, but if a big name is there, you open the checkbook.

A source tells me that it is not a done deal for Greg Goff to take the Alabama job. He's in the mix, but it is not yet settled.

An "insider" on BOL posted this in response to the tweet above:

Could this be Cohen?

Appears that way.

Hopefully he won't be around when we have to replace Saban. Better yet, I hope Saban steps into the AD role when he's done coaching.

NS will coach until his energy and enthusiam runs out and then he heads into the sunset. Dont see it happening. I see him coaching into his early 70's. BB is already in his mid 70's

Yes! Of the three ring variety! Stupid f*cktard that he is.

Someone asked why he lowballed Pierce. Because he's a businessman, not an AD. He thought he could get Pierce on the cheap. So he screwed up the offer. And again, just like with CAJ, it might work out for the best for us, no thanks to that bumbling idiot.

I won't! At that point, we're down to Plan D which is probably an assistant or a no name guy. WTF did he do now to screw this up??! Jesus, it is not that difficult to hire someone and this jackass manufactures ways to eff it up!

do you mind me asking your age? There appears to be a generational gap here. He hired Avery who was not his first choice and that turned out good. i think some of you "bucks" are trying to hurry something along and are throwing a lot of Chit at the AD who appears to be doing a good job. Remmeber he is a Bama man and loves the University, otherwise he would not have stepped in when Mal died.

Battle has hired four coaches as AD. Women's basketball, soccer, men's basketball, and now baseball. Gymnastics was always going to be Dana Duckworth, so I don't count that. Ultimately coaching hires are how an AD will be judged. Still more time needed to see how they pan out.

So is he hired yet or not? I was excited for a minute that we had a baseball coach.
