Apparently Bama had one of its better players injured before the season started, so Grant might've had a legit excuse
That's not true.

Yes. Just like saban got tubs fired


Grant beats Pearl twice this season.
Saban beat Tubbs 36-0.

What exactly did Pearl do to get Grant fired?
If you think beating LSU is the answer, you're trolling.

Anthony Grant beat Pearl twice this year and still got fired. I don't think Alabama is concerned with just beating Auburn.

Grant got himself fired, Pearl`s run may have pushed some of the boosters that were on the fence into pushing Battle into firing him as Cecil hurt alluded too in his 11th hour pressure remark.

Win 3 sec tourney games. Change the atmosphere at Auburn. Be competitive with crap. Top 20 class coming in.

Grant got himself fired. Bruce put added pressure.

Even your own beat writers hinted that battle was keeping grant until late this week.

When the rumors if Grant being retained surfaced the outcry from the fanbase caused Battle tobpull the trigger.

Even though Saban started out his tenure by losing to Auburn in 2007, he quickly began assembling an elite recruiting class and getting Bama fans excited about the future of Alabama football. Pearl has done nearly the same, but with Auburn basketball.

No. Bama has wanted rid of Grant forever and that's been no secret. Folks forget that Grant was a homerun hire when he was hired and Bama shelled out a lot of cash to get him. I wouldn't be surprised at all to learn that his buyout dropped substantially this year and that gave Bama the ability to fire without getting hosed too badly on any buyout.

The coaching pool is much deeper now than when Grant was hired. Look at who gtech hired that year.

Whats the new "Auburn God" Bruce Pearl's record against Grant this year and all time?

Our section was filled with fire grant threads before pearl ever came to Auburn. It's honestly laughable how so many Auburn fans who have never even kept up with bball until this past season are everywhere acting like your team has been worth a shite in your lifetime.

Who cares?

What's the all-time record between Nick Saban and Tommy Tuberville?
