Will bring excitement to the program, but that will fizzle when people realize he's just not a very good coach.

Great human being though so I'll never say I hate AJ or anything like that. He just has no college experience and is not a great coach.

I don't know much about his coaching abilities. I just know he had a loaded Dallas team and that was the peak of his career.

I agree with all of this. I would never knock him as a person, as you said, he just isnt a very good coach. Especially knowing what we COULD have had last year had Bill pulled the trigger when every one else in the country knew he should have.

List me the current "great" SEC basketball coaches. If your being honest there is just one. To me "great" means universally thought of as a championship caliber coach and outside coach Cal nobody in the SEC has that. He doesn't have to be great to be successful at Bama. No one at Bama expects multiple final fours. We just want a competitive team that is fun to watch that consistently makes the tournament. Bama had that under Wimp and no one is going to call Wimp a "great" coach.
