What a difference will it be to see this kind of energy on the sideline?

He should help recruiting in New Orleans. He played on some GREAT St Aug teams.

I'm willing to bet that Johnson will be spending a lot of time at Dreamland

He can recruit texas and New Orleans. We will need someone for Atlanta. Also don't forget Juco. Wouldn't mind the occasional Midwest gym rat.

Considering he's known nationwide, he'll probably have decent luck wherever he tries. But obviously, having a good staff will expedite recruiting success.

The rumor is we are trying to retain Pett and Pearson to ease the recruiting transition.

If Pearson doesn't get a head coaching job, I'd love to have him.

al.com article:

quote:

A day after Alabama athletics director Bill Battle interviewed former NBA coach Avery Johnson, sources tell AL.com the talks are expected to progress Sunday.

The meeting in Dallas went well enough that a deal could be made as early as Sunday. Johnson is celebrating Easter at church with his family Sunday morning, AL.com learned, and hopes to have a resolution by late afternoon. The ex-NBA player is excited about the opportunity and challenge the Alabama job presents.

I've also heard Roy Rogers as a name being thrown around too.

I wouldn't mind one guy from the NBA as an assistant but I really do hope at least two as well as the director of operations have college experience.
