I don't think a million dollar incentive is the right incentive we need to give him. He'd get the same motivation from 300k.

Make the tournament or you get let go after 3 years. He also should be able to afford a decent house. Can't be bringing recruits home to a regular neighborhood.

Then let him use a university owned house. I wouldn't be surprised if they could use the one Grant had. Giving a guy 1.5 million, who only makes 300k now, over the course of 3 years seems like a waste to me. Start him at 800k, if he makes the tournament and gets to at least the sweet sixteen then give him a raise. There's your incentive to improve and safeguards against the factor that Grants recruits might just be the reason he's performing well(A la rich rod at Michigan).

And yet people still trash Mal Moore for hiring him.
People criticized Mal for 1) Not doing enough of a background check on Price which led to that situation 2) Giving Shula an extension/buyout
Point #2 is debatable because we had to that to prove that he was getting support.
Mal did a lot of great things as AD. He made us a player in the arms race and a lot of the non-money making sports benefitted from his leadership. He gets too much credit for landing Saban but he gets credit for doing what needed to be done to keep Saban happy. Still can't believe he gave Grant that buyout though.

Pearl vs. Prohm sounds like a nightmare.
If any of you know the poster Skip Jansen that posts on some Auburn boards, he is pretty connected to AAU basketball. He says that the AAU coaches in the south really like Prohm, way more than Grant. Now does that mean he can compete with Pearl? No. But he does have fairly good connections.

Yall are the biggest bunch of bitches I've ever seen. Get off your high horse. Alabama basketball has made the Elite 8 ONE TIME. We're not a powerhouse. You're all writing this guy off because he's won in a bad conference. That's just retarded.

No one has said we are, but we are trying to get there. You don't start that process by getting a coach just because he has some ties to your university.

I agree. I feel like I'm going "crimson crazy" with all of these people acting like we are some kind of super attractive coaching job. See what I did there?

I'll get behind the guy 100% if he ends up being our coach. I haven't written him off, but if I'm making a hire, I want the guys with the best resume. He has little experience and NONE at the major level. He's not my choice, but if he ends up being the guy, he has my support.
Anyone that ends up being the guy has my support...
...besides Rick Stansbury. I'll riot by myself if I have to if that happens.

We just offered $4 million a year for a coach. Following that up by hiring Prohm is settling when just yesterday we were swinging for the moon. What has changed in our approach? Just because our main target said no, we should just hire someone who isn't close to that level? It's a weak approach.

but their recruiting hasn't been THAT impressive since he has gotten there. No better than Grant's.
Danjel Purifoy is better than anyone Grant ever signed. In-state kid Grant had no shot at.

Just because Alabama basketball isn't a great job right now doesn't mean it couldn't be with the right hire. Hiring some unknown and hoping to catch lightning in a bottle is not the way that you change a program.
Or we could just accept that since we haven't yet been to a final four that means we will never get there. Might as well just set our expectations at winning the NIT

I see your point, but it doesn't matter now, if everything I'm being told is accurate. I'm hearing Prohm is the guy, so my point is we might as well get over the griping and get behind the guy. Without fan support, it's going to be really hard to turn the program around.

yeah most of these guys probably haven't even supported Alabama basketball or been to a game in Coleman in years.
I would rather have a coach who has the connections and has experience running and building a program, than some assistant at major program some people suggest.
Had Murray St won the OVC tournament (16-0) in conference I wonder if these same people shooting him down would feel the same way had he won a game or 2 in the NCAAT....even though he still played in a weak conference.

Hey man, I'm just being realistic. Furthermore, like I've already said, I really wasn't sold on Marshall being THE GUY. I don't think that Prohm is that big of step down from Marshall.

I don't agree with that but that's your opinion.
Assuming they are the same caliber of coach, Marshall would've brought instant excitement, credibility, and energy to the program. His hiring alone would've really ignited the program. The difference between him & Prohm in that category alone is massive.
