Why would Fisher come to Bama when Florida State is an easier road to the final four every year and can pay comparable money?

No flame, just asking.

I am not saying FSU is an equal job to Bama (though in the 1990s virtually no one outside of Alabama would have claimed FSU to be beneath Bama).

More money? Better facilities? Pretty easy to win at UA.

I love when people say this.

If a coach is looking for the easiest path to glory, he's not a very good coach.

Great coaches are focused on the challenge.

Comparable money? FSU pays in the $2.7M range. Bama pays its current HC $6M+ and will likely pay his replacement somewhere in the $3.2-4.5M range depending on who that coach is.

Smart thinks it is his if he's still here. When Mal was alive he was right. Don't know now. Dabo would love a shot and would probably get a phone call. He'd do well at Bama because he can recruit really well and he's made good Asst. Coach hires, but he would HAVE to communicate that he would have a top notch DC (and name him) before an offer was ever extended.

I'm sure there would be candidates outside of those two, but those two would each be in the 30% range to get the job if you had to put odds on it.
