This is dumb, quit mentioning it....If Acuff was on the staff as assistant than it would be great because he has ties to North Alabama obviously. and UAH has never been to the final 4 and only 1 elite eight appearance. This is true....great guy, great coach...just not for a school like Alabama.

I thought UAH went to the Final Four in 2011 and came close to getting to the national championship, but I was wrong, he went to two Elite 8s for sure there bud. I don't quite see why it's dumb, it's no dumber than Bill Battle spending eight hours in Wichita and then getting played like a two bit trick. Frankly, Acuff's teams can score and they run a Kevin Stallings style of offense. Do I want Acuff as my number 1? No. But if it gets to crunch time, he could be a winner at a bigger program given a chance to build a program. There is no doubt he has won in the GSC and done well, UAH was pretty bad before him, that's for sure. He has championship credentials, just not at the D-1 level as a head coach.
