Folks thought Bama messed up when Rich Rods wife did not want to come to Ttown (he had accepted). Bama ended up with a prick that is a great coach anyway.



Yea except we had perfect timing with an NFL coach who wanted to return to college (and Bama football is a top 5 job). Bama basketball is not even a top 25 job and I don't see Brad Stevens coming to Bama anytime soon.

Me too. You cant fault Marshall for making that decision though... WSU came up to $3.3M per year. Thats a considerable raise. Also, Marshall isnt obligated to move his family or rebuild a program from the bottom up.

@CecilHurt: Gregg Marshall will make $3.3 million annually to stay at Wichita State. Short of Alabama offer, but impressive. HT @GaryParrishCBS

I didn't see anyone who was completely sold the whole time.

I'm not going to melt unless we end up with a crap hire.

perfect timing


this shite

we can give Pearl shite for the rest of eternity for screwing up with the NCAA, and dear god did he screw up, but he's a good coach

the only reason Auburn has him is that he was nuked by the NCAA and came back to college bball and the exact right moment and that's the only reason a school like Auburn got a coach like Pearl

sometimes you just need to get lucky and AU rolled 7s

hopefully we can too

I wonder if every coach will be asking for 4 million now.

...and Bama found themselves in the same situation with Saban...it was just good timing and a little luck. Saban wanted to get back into college and Pearl wanted back into coaching. We were both in positions looking to move on from an unsuccessful coach, and the obvious candidate was waiting.

I demand that the correct statement be posted in the OP

quote:

@UA_Athletics
Statement from Bill Battle, Director of Athletics

After spending all week in negotiations with Coach Gregg Marshall to be the next University of Alabama Basketball Head Coach, President Bonner and myself felt it was in the best interest of the University and the program to stop all negotiations. We feel Coach Marshall is a premiere coach but wasn't a good fit for where we want to head as a basketball program.

We will be continuing our coaching search and confident we will bring in the right coach to lead Alabama basketball to a successful future. Roll Tide to all of our fans.

Bill Battle
Athletic Director
University of Alabama


The real Bill Battle

That one definitely sounds more "Bama" to me.
