Anthony Grant has been fired..
- Thread starter CrimsonForce
- Start date
I was among those against hiring Pearl and I remain so to this day. With the history that UA has with the NCAA, a coach with those troubles of his own was and is the last thing we need. I also hope the discussion surrounding him ends, and soon.
Just what Bama needed, a tainted coach. I'm glad Bama never had any intentions of going after Pearl.
I've got a feeling that THIS could end the same way that one did with a lot of $$,$$$,$$$ thrown in the fire!
As long as we finish as one of the best 68 teams in the country and make it to the tournament, it's a good decision. Oh and beat UF at least 1 time in 6 years.
There's really not going to be any discussion surrounding him - period...
Edit: The bug edited out the post I was replying to - I mean Pearl. We're going to drop him unless we're playing him...

Good - I'm tired of continued wallowing an mediocrity. I'm tired of new excuses every year about injuries, grades, whatever. I'm tired of not having any desire to watch Bama basketball as I know we're going to look like we did in Gottfried's last few seasons.
I've a hard time believing we're going to make a hire that makes the team worse.

I agree. There won't be any major college suitors lining up at his door (at least not upper half, power conferences), but he could have a mid-major gig by the end of the week, if he so chooses.
I was stunned when I heard the news last night. I didn't think the AD would make the necessary decision. Now, I wish Grant the very best, thank him for his efforts, and hope we can find the right man for this job. It is very possible to win and win big at Alabama.
I'll say this. There are lot of interesting rumors out there of how Battle and some people dealt with the sitaution, and CAG's reaction to it.... I also saw one on BOL from Lucky talking about an interesting tibits on CAG and Battle...
Andy Katz says that Anthony Grant will not be coaching in the NIT. I wonder which assistant it will be. If we are taking Ben Howland or someone else not currently coaching, we could let them go ahead and let them start coaching now. But we definitely shouldn't rush our decision.

I'm not a BOL member, so I can't see all of the posts. But, one person posted that CAG was relieved when he was told he was being let go.
His body language has indicated that he has not been happy here. I have thought for the past 2+ years that he wasn't happy. Plus his name was in the mix for 2 or 3 other jobs which told me that he was looking for an opportunity to leave. IMHO, he should have resigned last year and if he couldn't land a smaller job then be an assistant for a few years before landing another job.
