Another sucky head coach bites the dust

Good for them.

Not a surprise. A home run hire that turned out to be a groundout.

If you remember how he coached and played his style at VCU....for some reason he didn't do it at Bama....hmmmmm....Bama is a football school and that's all they will be

Par for the course in the SEC. That's why I hope we hold on to Tyndall. Seems like the odds are stacked against SEC teams hiring good mid-major coaches. We got lucky and got a good one.

After La Tech, the C-USA regular season champs, lost to UAB in the tourney, they chanted "we still have football" at the UAB players as they were trying to close it out at the FT line.

That's pretty low class by the LaTech fans.

My thoughts as well. Kinda fitting for UAB to take them down in B'ham and give that school something to celebrate this winter.

Saban is gone! Oh, wait, nevermind.

Grant can come back anytime to UF.

Shaka Smart will need good assistant coaches after Billy goes to coach the Knicks.

Why would Billy go to the dumpster fire that is the Knicks?

That post was mostly tongue in cheek, but Billy's a New York guy who always dreamed of playing and coaching in the NBA.

Gotcha. I remember he coached the Magic for about 7 minutes. I'm a Knicks fan and think Billy's a solid coach but it would be career suicide to go there. Dumb owner and an incompetent GM

Finebaum said Marshall is at the top of Bama's list and they're prepared to pay big money on this hire.

If this happens I'll tip my hat to the Bama athletic department. They've grasped the concept of ROI and spend money to make money.
