I've never understood this silly idea that Tennessee is a much better job than Alabama and Grant wouldn't hesitate to switch positions. Do people even bother to research stuff anymore? Alabama has more overall wins, more overall SEC wins, more SEC tourney titles, ONE less regular season SEC title, more Sweet 16 appearances, and a winning head to head record against Tennessee. It has taken a 5 year NCAA tourney drought by Alabama coupled with UT's greatest 5 year run in school history for UT to finally match Alabama's 19 NCAA tourney appearances.
The ONLY thing Tennessee has that Alabama doesn't is an arena that seats 20,000+ as opposed to 15,000+. Historically, the Alabama program is AT LEAST as good at Tennessee's program and Alabama fans have historically supported their program when successful as much as Tennessee fans have when their program is successful. Sick of hearing uninformed s### from uninformed fans (and frickin USCw fans of all people).

Tennessee has nicer practice facilities and a bigger arena. And Memphis being in state is nice. Alabama has a better basketball tradition and deeper pockets. Considering we've shown a commitment to basketball (paying Grant a top 15 salary and building new practice facilities) I don't see Tennessee outbidding us.
We're also not about to go on probation (fingers crossed).

This.
A lot of misinformed people keep commenting on Bama basketball. Yes, we've been a little down lately, hence the coaching change, but Bama is as good as or better a basketball job than any school not named Kentucky in the SEC.
My advice to UT fans, don't get your hopes up about Grant. He's not leaving for Knoxville.
