I now feel the same way I did two years before Grant was removed. Why delay the inevitable? It is crystal clear Avery Johnson will not get it done. He is simply in over his head. The SEC is too tough now and the coaching too good. Byrne needs to make the tough call and go get a coach that can compete against Pearl, Howland, Barnes, etc, etc. The SEC has seen a huge improvement in coaching almost across the board. Alabama continues to wallow in mediocrity. That will not change under Johnson. There is a coach currently sitting on the sidelines that would be a great hire. Fred Hoiberg is available. He did a fabulous job at Iowa St. I am sure there are others that would be a significant upgrade in coaching than what we have now.
