You seem to desperately want this to have been Alabama's fault somehow. It's very transparent. But the thing is, it wasn't. It was Anthony Grant's fault.
Sometimes, good coaches fail.
It ultimately is Grant's fault, but I still believe that he's a good coach who will get another shot at a big program once he "pays his dues."

I agree with you that I could see Anthony Grant having some success in another situation. He is still young and I could definitely see him improving.
But that is a far cry from your original post that started this tangent. And again, with all due respect, it is fricking ludicrous to say that "heat" from "boosters" because he "wouldn't grease their palms" had literally anything to do with his failure here. He was given every opportunity, full support from the university, and more time than any of these boosters ever wanted him to have. But the team never got better, and then in his last year, it got much worse.
That is why he failed. Not because of the reasons you originally posted blaming everyone else besides him.

Maybe he could've landed and retained a stud and bought himself more time. The fact that he didn't is on him. His shortcomings on offense and gameplanning would've shown through eventually. There was no way it would end well. He was simply not a good coach. He's going to need more than a "better situation" to succeed, he's going to have to improve in his own abilities.
