OP in original thread:
A lot more gems in there from others such as:
BamaStepL
Funky Tide 8
TideSaint
TT9
genro
JuiceTerry
SoFla Tideroller
Meanwhile, UltimateHog, cas4t and WestCoastAg were trying to drop wisdom.
Good times.

@TimBrando Home Run Hire in Tuscaloosa. Avery Johnson's a friend that I covered while he played at Southern. Without CBB experience but connected.
Tim Brando (Fox Sports)
@TimBrando Bill Battle clearly felt it was imperative to get a recognizable name. Avery's definitely that, and will do a great job. Congratulations.
Seth Davis (CBS Sports, Sports Illustrated)
@SethDavisHoops This has been a great few weeks for SEC hoops. Barnes, Howland, now Avery Johnson coming into the league. Way to step it up.
Bill Simmons (ESPN)
@BillSimmons Big congrats to @coachavery6 for his new gig. Loved getting to know him last year - total joy to be around. I'm on the Bama Hoops bandwagon!
Ian Fitzsimmons (ESPN Radio)
@Ianfitzespn Avery Johnson is a great hire by Alabama. Fiery competitor who will win and a coach who will be out in the community.
@Ianfitzespn “@clintellis: @Ianfitzespn Your opinion on the level of hire, if Bama hires Avery Johnson?”> Said this earlier - home run hire.
Paul Finebaum
Quite frankly, not only do I think it salvages the day, I really think in many ways this is a better hire than Gregg Marshall," Finebaum said. "I say it's a better hire because Avery Johnson wants the job. He wants to be there. He's enthusiastic. He's excited. He's not heartbroken about leaving behind a team, a city and a legacy.
@finebaum I think @CoachAvery6 would be a fascinating hire for Alabama.
Ian Rapoport (NFL, Sports Illustrated)
@RapSheet Incredible RT @GoodmanESPN: Avery Johnson made a verbal agreement to coach at Alabama, sources told ESPN. Contract details being finalized
Cris Carter (ESPN)
@CrisCarter80 Congrats @CoachAvery6 being selected as Alabama next basketball coach. Great coach, and a better Man. God Bless you and your fam. #RollTide
Gentry Estes
@Gentry_Estes Avery Johnson is a fascinating hire at Alabama. Bit of a gamble, but it makes sense given the excitement they'd like to build for program.
Suck it, Rant.

Just trying to help all you ranters out so you can get on board and not look like fools by trying to pretend like this is anything other than a great hire.
The rest of the national media response will surely make you people feel silly.

I'm way more excited about Avery Johnson than Marshall. Agree it's a better hire.
Cannot wait until next season.

I had been MIA since September, because your shite program couldn’t win a game at home that you led by two scores.

6 months later, still gold.

Did TT9 trigger you so badly that you dug up a four year old thread about Bama after a comeback SEC road win vs Mizzou?
Posted on 1/26/19 at 8:24 pm to cas4t
Not really sure what the purpose of the thread or the bump. The national media were calling it a home run, and we were all stoked about it. Why wouldn’t we have been? Especially after getting the shaft from our first option and the SECRant spending the following days shitting all over themselves about it.
I still think it was a great hire at the time - it just isn’t working, and I’ve been vocal in numerous threads about my dissatisfaction.
