No explanation needed.


Why did he never progress to a better job? That's a long time to be at one place.

I don't know how in demand he was for aother jobs over his tenure there, so I can't comment on that. But I genuinely think that the LSU job is the one he wants to hang his hat on. I think he liked being at UNT and it became a good place for him to bide his time until LSU finally made the call to him.

Assuming you aren't just flaming, the answer is that he had a stigma from the Lester Earl situation that took a VERY long time for him to prove that Earl flat out lied about his role. Think of it as acting like something that is a step below a show cause order in his career.

He is as loyal a person as I have ever had contact with. He has applied for the LSU coaching position the last two times it's been available and always wanted to coach here. While he was at UNT he was loyal to them. Of course LSU still held his true loyalty, but he isn't one to skip around from job to job.

how come Grant was a better coach at VCU than he has been at bama?

He took VCU to the tourney twice in 3 years at VCU.

Only once in 4 years at bama.

Because he came out and said that the only way he would leave North Texas was if he was offered his dream job.


FWIW , he would have been Head coach at Memphis if they hadn't thrown money at Cal. ( he was the interim coach in a shitty situation, Memphis fans were very impressed with him)
