Alabama board which is dead anyway. Funny how you big Grant sunshine pumpers have moved on to the next losing coach to mindlessly defend

If I'm lumped in with a Grant lover, you haven't paid attention to my posts these past few years

I'll post this again for your consideration... I'll assume you just didn't see it the first time...
You've developed a fantasy of your own based on your personal biases.
You just compared this potential hire to Mike Shula. Think about that.
What would you have said if Tennessee had hired John Gruden a couple years ago? I would have shite my pants. That's the kind of hire we're talking about. Someone who experienced success at the professional level, was fired, did analysis for a couple of years and then got back into coaching at the college level with no experience recruiting.
It's not like he's having to learn how to be a coach. You're making yourself sound silly.

Coaching hires are always a gamble. I thought Grant was a home run hire. On a coaching staff that won a natl champ @ florida. VCU beat Duke. 2 First Round draft picks @ VCU. 75% win percentage, etc.
Compared to that what has Michael White done? Went to the NIT? 71% is fantastic.
How about Archie Miller? 65% winning percentage. 1 elite 8.

Liking/hating Grant has nothing to do with this hire. There are goods and bads with AJ. He is extremely enthusiastic. High energy. Well liked. Has had success at the highest level of basketball. Has in roads to some cities that produce great basketball talent. But, he has never recruited and has never ran a college program. Battle is betting that his goods outweigh the bads. I think they do.
