I can't agree with this until after he doesn't fire Grant this year. Even then he may still care but just not be qualified or misguided. Not many ADs in the country would have done any differently than Battle did after the previous season.

in what other way can a fanbase show that it isn't satisfied?

Making contact is a start and can't really hurt anything. In reality, there are a few that have the ADs ear. They are the ones that can make things happen. The casual fan has no say in the matter really.

Buying season tickets or single tix, filling up Coleman is the absolute answer to becoming a great program. It's all part of "the process", that some may be familiar with.

What selling out Coleman does:
- energizes the players, which results in more wins.
- Helps recruiting
- Shows the AD/players/prospects that Bama fans do care about basketball.


I've already noted Saban and Wimp, but every great coached has told anyone who would listen how important butts in the seats are. Not sure why so many people overlook the "responsibility" of the fan to help a program when all the great minds in their respective sports state the importance.

If Coleman sold out every game this year, but miraculously had the same bad results or even worse. Does that mean the few people with influence would be happy with Grant, simply because the place is packed, no. They want a winning team and great coach, they don't donate etc. based on attendance.

Shula still played for a full house, a change was still made. Wins matter, not attendance.
