re: So Bama went from Rick Pitino, Billy Donovan, and Thad Matta to . . .

Don't shite the bed over UA's hiring of a good coach. He will get all the support he needs to help the program. They tried getting a "name" coach in response to AU hiring Pearl and it did not work out very well. I think this hire will do some good things for them.
Anyone as an AU fan shitting on the coach for being from Buffalo, remember our AD came from there.
Congrats UA. Good hire!
