Serious question - not a flame - do you think Chizik or Malzahn were the first choice in the years they were hired? We know Bruce Pearl was likely AU's first choice, but Chiz & Gus were not. They didn't care b/c they were given a great opportunity to coach at a top 10-15 program in the country.
Bama Basketball can't offer the same top 10-15 opportunity, but they can give someone a top 10-15 pay day. I doubt the next guy will give a care as long as he thinks it is a good opportunity and he gets paid.

But a key is to not disclose who you have interviewed. Dick Vitale talked about this.
"I personally find it difficult to comprehend why this is played out in the media, because you look embarrassing if you don't complete the deal," he said. "Now the next guy looks like he's second and the next guy looks third. That should all be private. That should all be, I think, between the athletic department and the person they're pursuing with a very simple statement: 'If this gets out, we're withdrawing our offer.'"

Sadly I do think Gene was JJs first choice. I also think the committee of three, wanted Gus. I wanted Bobby Petrino, but the committee did not want anything to do with him.

I actually think Gus was. I really hope chiz wasn't.
