At 4.2 mil for 6 years, he'll get a raise and/or a extension if we make the tournament in the first 2-3 years. At a minimum, he'll make 33.6 mil over the next 8 years (not including any incentives). That would be damn hard to turn down. He'll be 60, and could probably hang around til he's 62 to get 10 years in the state system.


If Anthony Grant's tenure proved anything, it proved that we'll give a coach time. Grant made 1 NCAA in 6 years. If he had just made one more, he'd probably be our coach right now.

Marshall can come to Alabama, have moderate success, and pretty be assured that he'll have 10 years with us. During that time, he'd make Top 5 money. Yeah, he wouldn't be invited to coach the US National Team but that's still a pretty attractive life. If he goes to somewhere like UNC or Duke, he won't be given a long leash. They'd have no problem kicking him to the curb after 3-4 seasons. That's if he actually gets a job like that. Its not a slam dunk that he be hired by a blue blood.
