re: Is Avery Johnson's contract really 6 years 18 million?

Like I said above, the ticket sales and other revenues they make from this compared to Prohm or White will probably make up whatever difference in contracts there is from $2.5M to $2.95M (Scarbo said his deal is a hair under $3M).

They were on the edge of losing people for a long time until Prohm/White proved themselves. This hire instantly got people jacked again. He may suck and people may lose that feeling, but this hire has had the effect on Alabama people the way Pearl did on Auburn.

A lot of people in this thread don't get this part of it. They are taking a very myopic and incomplete view regarding how much Alabama is paying / should be paying Johnson. It's humorous that these guys are lecturing Bill Battle, of all people, on sound financial and business transactions.
