I'm a little hot headed, but it wouldn't hurt my feelings if they fired Avery tomorrow. Promote Pett up to interim head coach and see what happens

We are playing Grantsketball with a bunch of talented players. It’s ridiculous

I hate it, but it's just not working out. I like Avery and really wanted him to do big things here.

Pettway was offered the #2 assistant position at a university with much more basketball prestige than ours. It was keep Simon and lose Pett. Or promote Pettway and lose Simon


I concede you are right, but I choose to believe the daughter slept w the team story #NotMyStory

Not really. No team drama that I know of. Knew going into the season we’d take a step back rebounding. Didn’t know how bad we’d be defensively.

I’m sorry but I watched the last half today and that Alabama team gave up, rolled over and played dead. UGA definitely let off the gas and Bama could have cut into the lead and made it a lot more respectable in the end with a little hustle, but they mailed it in. That rests solely on Avery’s shoulders. If I saw my team dogging it out there like that, they’d be sitting next to me watching while the walk-ons all played.

Geneschin, I like you and respect your opinion but this is beginning to come across like me talking to Auburn fans about all the reasons they should keep Chizik.


Well first off, I want Bama to be relevant, admittedly just less relevant than AU. The high tide floats all boats approach

So I never really thought Avery was a good coach though, so if I was Bryned I would can him. I just don't think it is all on the coach

It's not just the coach, I admit that.

I saw the same thing. Why are you apologizing to me? Did it sound like I was defending that effort? I wasn’t.

Not you Gongora, I said something similar a few pages back right after the game and some said it wasn’t effort that was lacking. No, we love your insight into the program.

I honestly feel bad for Sexton. We're currently wasting his one year of college.


Karma for laughing at LSU and Ben Simmons.

Honestly, it probably is the best thing that could happen to his draft stock. How he is playing w no help makes what he is doing even more impressive

It's not helping his stats. Teams go into a game vs Alabama keyed in on him and only him. Despite what many people think, he's finding open teammates on the regular. His teammates just miss most of them.

@FletcherWDSU (NOLA sports reporter) on twitter:

Just looking ahead...
I should point out that Avery Johnson was in the @Saints VIP section (again) on Christmas eve.
Given his relationship to NOLA hierarchy, he’s my top choice for #Pelicans GM if/when Benson/Loomis clean house in April/May.

Can we help him pack? Throw in Sexton as a package deal? How do we make this happen?

Wtf would make Avery qualified to be a GM?

If that happens Bama should try and hire Tom Crean. Would seal the deal on Watford + Crean is a legit high quality coach

If you don't do that at least take a chance on a promising mid major. Don't hire some fricking Tubby Smith has been

Luckily for him, your draft stick isn't impacted much by that.

NBA will see a guy with 20-25ppg and extremely athletic who managed a >1 assists : TO ratio despite playing with the crew of a brick laying subcontractor

I'm at the point that I believe we might need to tank the rest of the season, before Byrne would make a change. I hate it and I hate thinking like that. I'm just disgusted and pissed.

That’s how I finally started feeling in Grant’s final year. I wanted him to beat Auburn, but I wasn’t mad losing to anyone else. I knew it was for the best
