Everyone thought Anthony Grant would be a success. I remember people saying we should pay him whatever he wants so a bigtime program wouldn't steal him away. That's why his buyout and salary are so big
I'd like to say we should flex a little muscle and just go get someone big who has proven results over a longtime at quality program, but I don't see Battle being bold like that. In the end, we really can't do worse than Grant (we can but I hope we'd pull the plug before it got really bad). So at miminum, its not like we're setting our program back if we let him go.
I'm still in shock that Grant's buyout is $4 Million. That coupled with his salary would mean we paid $17 million for one game in the NCAA Tournament.

The only other hire Battle has had to make while AD was women's basketball. He went out and hired a quality coach, with tournament experience. Kristy Curry is also making around half-million a year, making her the highest paid female employee of the state. Not the best of starts so far, but I think it shows Battle is willingly to make hires to improve all sports.
