It is hilarious that bammers are calling people out, yet most of the ones who are gloating in this thread won't be seen or heard if he turns down the job or will only be seen and heard to make a bunch of excuses. I am still skeptical of him taking the job and I will only admit I was wrong when he does accept it

Hey, I'm not gloating or calling out anyone that blasted us earlier in the past week. I'm just excited about our chances at this point in time. Bama normally doesn't send their AD on a plane without having some assurances that they are in a good position. I don't think anyone will argue that Bama has a boatload of money to spend, and has decided to back the Brink's truck up to Marshall's doorstep. And with Battle's background, I like his chances of closing the deal.

But like I said in the above post, I don't think it is a done deal by any stretch. I'm just finally excited about our chances to hire a top notch BB coach.
