re: Which seat is warmer -- Barbee's or Grant's ?

Yea, lost in the second round as a 2 seed. Lost as a 5 seed to UWM and Bruce Pearl. Took a team that reached #1 in December to a first round loss as a ten seed. He could recruit, but can't coach and always underachieved. His only great coaching job was the year we won the SEC, and again lost in the second round as a 2 seed. Even that Elite 8 run almost got shut down in the first game when we won an 8-9 matchup at the buzzer. All that said, as frustrating as his teams were, he could've stayed at Alabama forever doing that. But he obviously couldn't sustain it, his final three years were unmitigated disasters, and he was very properly let go.
