That depends on whether or not losing to Auburn ends our post-season chances.

Do those losses keep us out of the SECCG? Then frick no.

If we still make the SECCG, then who cares? Bring on Marshall.

No.

ETA: Was actually thinking about it earlier though.. Would I rather win a national championship this year or get Gregg Marshall? Depends on who we'd get otherwise I guess.

Hell to the no. There are other good basketball coaches out there. Marshall isn't a guarantee of success.

Meaningless wins over Auburn are more important to you than the overall health of our basketball program?

If our losses to Auburn still result in an SEC Championship and playoff birth, who gives a shite?

Nah, we'll just take Marshall and keep beating Auburn, thanks.

My problem with the bet is you are trading sure losses for no guarantees in return. That's a bad bet.

Sure losses that literally have no negative affect on our season or ability to win a national championship.

Seems like a safe bet

If it meant that Marshall would have instant success and bring positive national exposure to the basketball program, then yes, I would take Marshall and deal with the 3 years of agony.

Fortunately, Bama doesn't need to make that "trade" to hire a stellar basketball coach. They just need to make sure the put him in a position to say:

From 2009 until 2013, the Iron Bowl decided who would eventually make it to the National Championship. If Alabama loses to Auburn in 2014, they don't make the College Football Playoffs.

They won't...

That is a must win game now. For both teams.
