What is your point?



That if a program as historically bad as Auburn can land a good coach, Bama certainly can.

The discount approach seems to be working for Missouri

They beat god's gift to basketball, LSU with a dollar store coach

You really are a moron.Pearl was obviously desperate to get back in coaching and God only knows how many teams were willing to give him a chance. Bammer has never attracted a big name coach in basketball and I seriously doubt they will on this occasion unless they go after a coach with past problems like Pearl

Name a big name coach who is available to be hired.

I don't know if you would consider him a big name, but the posters on some bama message boards seriously think they have a realistic chance at Gregg Marshall. I will be surprised if that happens

I, too, will be surprised if that happens.

Can you name another one? ETA: I charitably allowed Marshall. There's limited evidence he is actually available for hire and quite a bit of evidence to the contrary.

What point are you trying to prove? I imagine there are quite a few coaches that would move for truly elite jobs like North Carolina and Duke that won't move for Alabama

Grant was one of those big names 6 years ago. Was considered a great hire and destined to do big things.

We also only had 5 coaches since 1968. 2 of those being promotions from within.

The obvious point is that there are very few big name coaches. There are very few of those (less than 5) who are available. Alabama has far more resources to go after a big name coach than your school does and yet you're stuck in this thread being dumb.

Marshall met with Alden. We offered him a significant amount of money. The rumor is that his wife and son were allowed a part of the decision and asked to stay in Wichita as it was the son's senior year.

I wouldn't be a bit surprised if he moves in the next 2-3 years. But it wasn't happening last year, despite Alden's poor read of the process.

State was the class of the SEC west not very long ago. Our fans are used to a winning culture in basketball. Some of my best memories from college are the UK games at the Hump. Boosters, fans, and administration realize how much basketball means at MSU and will do anything to fix this mess.

Word is it was close to 4 plus incentives. Our football coach has been here a decade and makes just over 4, so we had some structural issues.

You are the person who is stuck in this thread being dumb. Auburn really has nothin to do with whether bama can get a big name coach and you only bring it up because you have no legitimate argument.

If you are talking about financial resources, that point is also highly debatable given that the current CEO of Apple is an Auburn grad and the only Alabama family to ever be named to Forbes list of wealthiest Americans are also Auburn people

If you don't think our athletic department has more money than Auburn, then you should just quit posting.

Alabama's athletic department itself might generate more money, but that isn't also a true indication of which school has more resources at their disposal

Alabama's athletic department also generates more revenue than Oregon, but you are a moron of epic proportions if you think Alabama has more total resources at their disposal than a school personally funded by Phil Knight

We've shown time and time again that we have more money to spend on athletics than Auburn does.
