Quality guy, yes. Good coach, yes. Underachieved, yes.

Quality guy, yes. Good coach, no. Underachieved, yes. Johnson was worked over in his lone trip to the NBA Finals as a coach, and he was hired with zero coaching experience at Alabama. I'm not sure why people think an NBA coach is automatically a good fit for a college job. This was a pretty predictable arc for Johnson from the moment he was hired.

And most of those heartbreaking losses (Not just from this year) are the result of his absolute inability to maintain a lead or coach his players to perform when the pressure is on. Butch Jones was also a "quality guy" who was all in on the program. He did everything right at Alabama except coach well, and you're not going to have a competitive team if you're missing that.

I would take him over what LSU is probably going to end up with once Alleva is done fricking up and running Wade off.

All of a sudden, this senile old man knows everything about Coaching ....maybe he should apply as AD somewhere. IMHO he is just trying to stay relevant ...a losing proposition for him.

What kind of arrogance does it take to preach to a University about what an outgoing coach deserved?

Is his opinion more valid because he hollers in a grandpa Simpson voice and calls everybody baby?
