Alabama is doing exactly what it needs to in this situation. Make the best offer possible to the best candidate.

Even if the deal does not work out, they have shown they are serious about their commitment and I would think that would be a huge plus for any prospective coach.

I just don't want this to happen because I don't want Gregg Marshall in the SEC. He is a good coach and South Carolina totally screwed up by not hiring him in 2008.

I feel like Bama is a school to go if you want to end your career. We're honestly a BB Coach's nightmare.

UPDATE #3 (2:35PM CST) - from one of our resident basketball insiders on BOL - offer is $4.1 for 6 years. Offer has not been accepted but is being seriously considered.

Have the words "this situation is fluid" been used yet?


FWIW, I hope you get him. It will help the rep of the conference. Just commenting as a Hog fan that's been through too many coaching changes than I'd like.

This cannot be true, because according to numerous Auburn and LSU posters and more than a few from Tennessee, we are a desperate dumpster-fire program that is only dreaming about hiring a quality coach. We will be lucky if Central's coach will take us on part-time as a project.

FWIW which could be nothing, legal contact says it is a done deal and 3.2M is the number.

UPDATE #6 added to OP:

quote:

UPDATE #6 (9:00AM 4/1)

*** Gregg Marshall continues to assure Alabama that a deal can be worked out. At this time the only hold up is convincing his family, who is very comfortable in Wichita, to move.

*** Sources close to the situation feel that Gregg Marshall and his family are "very likely" to visit Tuscaloosa within the next couple of days.

*** Alabama still feels good about their chances with Marshall and believe that a trip to Tuscaloosa could seal the deal.

I'm starting to get the feeling he is stretching this out to see if Cal jumps to the nba.

Wichita > Tuscaloosa

He's probably just using the situation to get more $ from WSU.
