If Brad Stevens leaves the NBA, it will be to go to IU. If IU knows they can get him, Crean is gone.

New coach search...
- Thread starter TIDE-HSV
- Start date
We will only owe Grant ~$4M buyout that will be offset by any future earnings. We should still be able to make a very strong monetary offer to our top candidate..
The athletic department is running a 20+ million dollar annual surplus now. Now, that doesn't mean Alabama should overpay an unproven coach, but if they can get the right guy? Money shouldn't be the issue.

I guess we will see. According to the article, he has signed financial aid with Bama but not letter of intent; waiting on late signing period.
Read an article where he said he was shocked about grant being fired and said the coaches were the main reason he chose Alabama....he said he will have to sit down with parents and make a decision
Edit: day-day beat me to it lol
We may lose a player or two but chances are that we would lost a player or two anyway due to transfers. Any new coach will have a rough first year while he gets his roster worked out. If we make the right hire then it will all work out and losing a player or two now will be meaningless in 2-3 years.
Prohm doesn't excite me at all. He's in only his fourth year as a head coach. He has exactly one NCAA tournament win. At this point, I don't see him as an upgrade, more like Gottfried and Grant, verse 3. That said, should he become our coach I'll be one of his biggest fans.
Doubt he leaves the nba to come to Alabama and not sure about him as a recruiter either

Someone in the know help me out. From the articles I've seen our recruiting class is not that strong, so how bad of a loss would this be?
I have aver seen our class rated very low. AU is way ahead of us. Maybe a new guy can do much better?
I've seen Jay Wright's name mentioned on another forum. Apparently his salary is not very high and the thought is that we could dangle a big salary increase and lure him away. If that is true I'd probably put him in the plan 1b category along with (and perhaps ahead of) Ben Howland. I would at least inquire about Brad Stevens and Gregg Marshall first.
Good article on possible candidates:

www.bamahammer.com/2015/03/15/early-look-potential-head-coaching-candidates/
My candidates in no particular order:Josh Pateur, Archie Miller, BenHowland, Patrick Ewing, Kenny Payne UK assistant! Greg Marshall and Tom Crean if let go at IU? Mark Few from Gonzaga, is a west coast guy born and raised. I would be shocked if he would consider coming south. I do not know anything about Jay Wright to state an opinion.
