re: This year with Avery Johnson proves just how bad Anthony Grant was

Enjoyed watching most of Grant's teams a helluva lot more than Gottfried's. At least we played hard under Grant which is a lot more than you could say for Gottfried's last few teams. Like, it's not even close. Some of you guys have short memories.

I know Grant had the one strong recruiting class, but to me, the difference is that Gottfried consistently had more talented rosters. When it comes to coaching up the team, however, I'll take Grant every time. Don't give much of a damn about Gottfried's incredibly lucky elite 8 run; wasn't even his best team here.

Really hard to overstate how shitty of a job Gottfried was doing by the end of his tenure. Grant didn't leave us in worse shape than that. Gimme a break.

And David Hobbs was a quantum leap worse than both btw. Have read some truly delusional criticism of Grant from Bama fans on this board over the last year.

Anyway, very happy to have Avery now. #buckleup
