What are Bama fans expecting here?


Year one I think we can at least be on the bubble for making the tournament late in the season and quite possibly make the tournament. It'd be nice by the end of his contract to have made it to the sweet sixteen, but if he's made it to the tournament at least three of his six years I'll be pleased.

Johnson will be gone in 3 years. Nice guy with a good NBA career. But not head coaching material. Think Byron Scott.

Didn't Bruce Pearl get his arse kicked twice this year by Anthony Grant??



To be fair, one of the games was close until the end. The other one Auburn got embarrassed. at home. By Grant.

And would these expectations be different of any new head coach? Seems pretty standard.

Basically every coach that doesn't win a championship gets fired at some point in the NBA. That's not really a knock against him.

Having said that Pearl would've been ideal but I'm cautiously optimistic to see what AJ can do.

Not really. I think Alabama fans are just excited about basketball again. We suffered through years of watching Grant ball, and that would make anyone appreciate seeing signs of life from the basketball program again.

It's like rantards are offended that Alabama fans are excited about a new coach. What gives?

Apparently, Bama wouldn't have hired him because they don't like cheaters.

Because gump delusion isn't measured and you expect people to be scared. You had a poster claim that Avery Johnson won an NBA Title and that makes him more accomplished than Pearl's Elite Eight appearance. I truly believe you gumps are so delusional some of you think he actually coached an NBA Championship.

Did I say I expect people to be scared anywhere in my post? It's the rant. Fans troll. People get excited about their coach. Hope springs eternal. You act like this is something exclusive to Alabama fans. Remember how Kevin Sumlin was supposed to run tSEC in his second year because he beat Bama in his first? What's happened to TAMU since then?
