I think Pearl knows a bit about college/SEC BB coaching. I think it's good for the SEC and great for BB in the state of Alabama. I look forward to him expanding the rivalry. Anyone who is complaining about this hire or how much he is paid is either ignorant or trolling the UA fans here, (or both.)
Good work UA.
Just remember that when Saban left LSU, he recommended Houston Nutt. Skip picked Smoke Laval. Tanner picked Holbrook (jury is admittedly still out on that). Coaches don't always know how to pick a good coach.

But anonymous posters on the internet always do!

While I agree with you up to a point, I don't think it applies to a coach suggesting a successor. Do you really want a school to pick someone who will be better than you were?
I think Pearl wants BB in the state of Alabama to reach new heights and his endorsement of AJ sounds sincere.

Since debt is such a concern to you, it must terrifying to realize bammer has racked up close to a billion dollars in long term debt by the rapid expansion of their student body in recent years. This comes straight from an article in the bammer student newspaper a few days ago. The author of said article maintained this plan couldn't be sustained for much longer and the only way to avoid disaster in the future was by replacing the idiots who came up with this plan of expansion in the first placej. Yet the average bammer on the street is dumb enough to believe things at their school couldn't be better
I have never read the UA student newspaper in my life......why the hell would you be inclined to do so?

Not concerned... unless they start jacking up the price of parking and hot dogs

If he gets them to the tourney and later deep in the tourney, who will care? I know if Pearl takes AU deep in the tourney, I don't care if they raise the prices to up his pay.

That's largely nonsense. It's an obvious overpayment.
Starbucks stock is at 20. Starts to go up...you buy at 25. It goes to 50. Did you "overpay" by your definition? Yes. Do you give a shite? No.

You are free to pretend you're not overpaying him. And everyone else is free to point it out.
And are we also free to point out that "overpaying" somewhat for an investment ultimately is irrelevant to the investor if the returns on said investment are great enough?

I'm sorry if that was over your head.
I bought a house for $250,000 that I could have had for $225,000. I sold it a few years later for $395,000. Do I really give a shite that I overpaid $25,000?

It wasn't over my head. It was an irrelevant analogy.

It was obviously way over your head, or else you're just too arrogant to admit when your wrong. It's an investment in Alabama's basketball future. If Alabama wins SEC championships and becomes a perennial Sweet 16 team, no one in Tuscaloosa will give a shite that they "overpaid" $1M.

We heard this same shite about Nick Saban. He's the best investment the University has ever made. Avery is a great hire and yall just can't handle Bama once again putting you in the rear view.

It wasn't way over my head. You're just too stupid to construct an apt analogy.
Here's an apt analogy using your referents. Let's say Starbuck's stock is at $20. And you say to your broker, "I really want some Starbuck's stock." He says, "Great. I can get it for you for $20 or you can pay $30 for it." And you say,"Well, I didnt get the Apple stock I wanted for $40 and I have to get some now so let's be safe and pay $30 for it." "Are you sure? You can get it for $20." "No. Let's pay $30 instead." "Well, it could go to $50 or it could go to zero." "I know. But I'm just posting bullshite on the rant and I don't know much about stocks anyway so let's just pay a lot and say 'We can afford it.'" "Ok, it's your money."

First, the Saban comparison is ridiculous. He had a college track record. Secondly, his current salary isn't really "overpaying." It's just a lot of money. If Michigan State had hired him for $5M, that would be the more appropriate comparison.

Who was saying you could get saban for less? Especially at the time you hired him.
Look we paid chizik so i'm not knocking you for overpaying a guy, just that you're denying it.
