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).

well put

None of which has the first thing to do with how good a coaching job is.

TN is a lateral move at BEST, right now, is worse than a lateral move, considering they have NCAA sanctions coming.

Lay off the pipe TN, none of those guys will consider TN, Grant, Wright, and the Pitt guy will not go to TN. It would be shocking if they did.
