I agree 100%. We have the absolute best college football coach in the game today. It would be nice to have a top coach in basketball but there is no denying the fact that football is the king at Alabama. Honestly, who cares what the basketball team does as long as the football team is winning championships. ROLL TIDE.Then when is CNS's time to pay the piper cuz he does the same thing every two years. It's called smart business on CGM's part for giving him the two things he wanted: a raise and the ability to remain where he is happy. I know this news stinks but lets not go around and put curses on people because they played bb because they saw desperation and opportunity when he got off the plane.

I believe ASU will get Jeff Capel and Hurley isn't proven.If we can't get the head coach we want then go after an assistant under Coach K. at Duke or the Hurley guy who played for him.
I agree. We proposed and he turned us down while walking down the aisle. Now, we are the laughing stock and the ugly girl who only thought she had a groom.I really think we should've used a search company.
You are not kidding. It looks like amateur hour in T-town right now...Putting out a release about not getting who you want as a coach seems like a terrible idea.
LikeAre we there yet? No. Good night one and all. Lets try again tomorrow.
I think Coach Battle tried to do what Mal Moore did in Miami and he struck out on three consecutive fast balls. Or did CMG throw him three curve balls.You are not kidding. It looks like amateur hour in T-town right now...
This is what bothers me. He could be our top choice all along, but to have all our eggs in one basket is amateur to say the least. Then to put out a press release afterwards, wow. It looks like a joke, and makes things really tough going forward.I just can't believe that we let this drag on for two weeks and didn't contact anyone else to pressure this guy. He is just a name, there are others that know the same X's and O's.
Why should he be fired? It's not his fault that we let this guy lead us on.I think Coach Battle tried to do what Mal Moore did in Miami and he struck out on three consecutive fast balls. Or did CMG throw him three curve balls.
Whoever we get, he should be required to schedule WSU! If you lose to WSU, you will be fired with "0" compensation.
I have zero problem with Gregg Marshall. Maybe he never planned to come, maybe he wanted to hear Bama out. It doesn't matter to me. He had his salary doubled and will stay "home" for the next several years. We're just ticked off because we look like idiots. That's not his fault either way.Why should he be fired? It's not his fault that we let this guy lead us on.
Bill Battle is an amateur AD......a presser to announce you didnt get your guy????? WTH is wrong with Battle....I thought he was some big time business man.....he is way out his league. Even the women's hire was questionable.....the first person that showed interest he hired. Now this mess....You are not kidding. It looks like amateur hour in T-town right now...
Even allowing for the fact you're brand new, your post is out of place on the BB board. All of us are here because we care about the basketball program, which you apparently don't. Keep remarks like this to the football board or I will take action...I agree 100%. We have the absolute best college football coach in the game today.

I'm not sure, either, but I am grateful we didn't.I still don't understand why we didn't pursue Smart when it was clear Marshall wasn't serious about coming.
