Just seems a bit high to me. Isn't Izzo making around $4m/year?

This is exciting.
I remember the coaching search years for football. The two months before Saban was hired were the most unproductive months in my life. Haha

Izzo doesn't even make 4....I personally think he's a better coach and aren't he and Saban good friends? But maybe Izzo won't leave and they already know that. He is pretty old and has it made.

Hire, not higher.

He would go from 25th highest paid to 5th highest paid in country and it would show how serious Bama is about Basketball success.

He's been to the final four, a #1 seed, and is widely believed to be a top 5-10 coach in the country. That's a pretty sturdy limb.

I wasn't implying that Bama could get Izzo even though that would be a Saban type hire. I just thought that was a little high for a coach that hasn't won a title.

Oh I know. I was just kind of thinking out loud wondering why you wouldn't throw that at Izzo.

Just thinking out loud, but a couple of reasons that come to mind are:
(1) Izzo makes something like 3.5 now, so you're only offering him a small raise that Michigan State would probably match if they thought he was seriously considering it.
(2) Izzo's 60. Marshall's 52. Not a huge difference, but if you think you can get him and have really big success you're looking at getting another decade out of Marshall.

Even if bama gets some decent coach, their climb back up is not going to be nearly as easy as most posters on here believe. The top in state prospects over the next couple of years are likely going to Auburn or out of state.
Danjel Putifoy was the top player for 2015 and he already signed with Auburn
Josh Langford is the top player for 2016 and he is likely going out of state to play for one of the traditional blue bloods
Austin Wiley is the top player for 2017. His mother and father are both former Auburn basketball players
This kid's name slipst my mind right now, but I recentl read an article on 247 sports that the top player for 2018 also grew up an Auburn fan
Just more reasons why any decent coach would be wise to avoid the bama basketball program

Bruce should be able to pull those guys you mentioned. Bama has recruited pretty well over the years, Grant just couldn't translate the talent to the court.

Grant had a transfer issue.
