The fire/hire thing is going to be a tradition every 4 years.

I truly am sorry this didn't work. But it wasn't going to and a change had to be made.

As Boz's Insider, I only thought we had a 45% of firing.

Avery Johnson just informed the team that he will not be coaching at #Alabama next year. Alabama now begins the search for a new men’s basketball coach.

no one should be sad for AJ. He is a millionaire many times over. He doesn't need to work a day for the rest of his life. Unlike me, I will work until they take me to the funeral home.

If Avery (and his old lady) worked at coaching as hard as he's working his buyout, there'd probably be no need for one.
