You think boosters are what turned the heat on him early? And not the fact that he was treading water, consistently not making the tournament, not winning any tournament games, etc.

Seriously? Take off the tinfoil hat dude. The heat got turned up because he wasn't winning and the team wasn't getting any better. It's pretty straightforward.

And again, they gave him one more year when these elements you're referring to wanted him gone so I'm not sure what 'the heat being turned up early' had to do with literally anything whatsoever related to his firing.

You seem to desperately want this to have been Alabama's fault somehow. It's very transparent. But the thing is, it wasn't. It was Anthony Grant's fault.

Most of us were pumped after Grant's first couple seasons. We wanted him to succeed more than anything. Why on earth would we screw him over? It makes no sense.

That's not what I'm saying at all -- I'm just saying that sometimes, shite happens. The margin of error for basketball coaches is very small. One recruit or one transfer can be the difference between the NIT and a 7 seed.

Sometimes, good coaches fail.

It ultimately is Grant's fault, but I still believe that he's a good coach who will get another shot at a big program once he "pays his dues."
