Good. Feel bad Tony couldn't get the job done, but a change was sorely needed.

Agreed. I really wanted him to work out for us. Best of luck to him in the future.

Battle

That doesn't give me the warm & fuzzies. You'd think we'd at least have a plan for this. Anyone with a functioning brain knew Grant had lost all support form the fans. I'm ready for Battle to move on so I hope he knocks this hire out of the park.

Sucks for Grant because he was nothing but class. Hate that it didn't work out for him.

Never wanted a coach to succeed as much as I wanted Grant to. Excited to see who UA hires though.

For all that is right in this world, we better not immediately hire Prohm. Hopefully we go after Howland, Marshall, Miller, etc first.

Just saw on twitter that Rick Stansbury will be seriously considered for the position. WTF is going on. Hell if we get Stansbury we might as well had kept Grant.

Battle does what everyone wants and when everyone wants it, yet still not good enough. Just as I mentioned on here a few days ago, the big$ guys make the decisions not Battle.

Don't want, but he is better than Grant.

Battle was shocked by the response to the idea of bringing back Grant...

So far it seems like he doesn't have clue.
