Because despite the baggage


Pearl had 'baggage'. Pitino has a full decade of personal and professional failings that demonstrate beyond any argument that he has no moral compass. He is quite literally the Art Briles of basketball.

ANY university AD or president that even considers him should be fired on the spot.

Need to be a blueblood or luck out for a good coach under the right circumstances like Auburn did with Pearl.


Auburn was literally foaming at the mouth for Petrino post Arkansans.

They set aside their morals (read the Auburn Creed...puke) for Pearl, Newton, Petrino types when it comes to winning.

Billy D is probably getting paid 6 million a year. He would definitely be the Saban kind of hire, though.


Would 10 million get him here? Make him paid the same as Cal. Why not?

I highly doubt that they would be willing to go that high.

Well that's what it'd take for a Saban type hire.

Lol, the whole thread is based on fallacy.

No Saban level coach will touch this job.

Donovan gets $6 million a year from OKC. In what universe or alternate dimension is he going to leave OKC to come coach Alabama for less money?


Seriously the delusion of our BBall being anything near the greatness of our Football team is confusing.

We aren't an attractive job. We don't have great facilities. We don't have an easy recruiting setup.

At this point I am ready to say "frick morals" just to get basketball back on track.

We're better than that.

All this talk about Rick Pitino is trashy and desperate.

You answered your own question. You gotta crawl before you walk.

Saban said yesterday at the Boy Scout luncheon that he used to motivate in terms of "climbing the mountain." He now sees it as: "we are the mountain."

I think some of us confuse our football clout as having something to do with basketball. It doesn't.

What'd Cecil say?
quote:

Meanwhile, Ole Miss, for example, was sitting at home in Oxford, knowing it is in the NCAA field and contemplating its seed. Alabama has been in that position once in the past 13 years. Consider: In 13 years, Alabama has had one regular season as accomplished as the one Ole Miss — a team that hardly looked talent-laden in its two losses to the Crimson Tide — achieved this year. Not Kentucky, not Florida. Not once in 13 years has Alabama been better than Ole Miss was this year. Ole Miss.


We suck shite right now. We'd be doing good to just be getting back to the Wimp Sanderson days. Where we filled the coliseum, made deep runs in the SEC tournament, won the SEC now and again, and made regular appearances in the NCAA.

Until then, this Donovan talk is hilariously foolish.

Well how old is Wimp. That would be a homerun hire in my book.

Why the hell would Donovan leave the NBA when he’s having success there and I haven’t heard that he’s unhappy.

Brad Stevens would be the Saban hire too but he ain’t leaving Boston.





A. Brad Stevens would ALSO be the Saban hire. That would be an incredible get for Byrne.

B. I'll go ahead and admit I don't follow the NBA, but I know I haven't really heard the name "OKC" since Durant left.

Honestly if they had fired Avery mid-season, Wimp as interim would have been incredible. Not a good idea, mind you, but incredible. I would find the closest thing I have to plaid and drive all the way to T-town just to bask in the presence of the plaid palace one last time.
