Comparing Avery Johnson to Nick Saban might be the dumbest comparison ever. I must have missed Nick Saban being an unemployed coach that nobody else wanted

Man talk about a demotion for Avery.. I guess his doesn't have much of an ego or is really desperate.

Finebaum is on board.

"One of the only knocks on him is he hasn't coached in three years," Finebaum said. "Anthony Grant hasn't really coached much in the last three years either."

Considering TAMU can thank Avery Johnson for this Recruit. I think Avery will be just fine with recruiting.


You're thinking of Avery Johnson Jr.

Negative. Avery Johnson and his son helped get TAMU a handful of recruits.

So Avery Johnson was breaking NCAA rules by recruiting for A&M? There is a bama joke here somewhere.

Start your own thread if you want to discuss Bruce Pearl.

I think in time Bama fans will be pleasantly surprised with Avery. His personality will woo the mamas in recruiting. His connections will bring in talent and one thing for sure, Bama basketball will be exciting to watch. JMO.

The only people I've seen say this are opposing SEC fans.

Anybody in the national media or inside college hoops said anything negative about it?

If they have, there are very few.

My question is.............what would bama fans be saying if Auburn was the school that hired Avery? I am 100% certain that every single thing mentioned in this thread, by opposing fanbases, would be mentioned tenfold by bama fans. He is a big name. There are also a lot of unknowns.
