UAB President Carol Garrison decided that after a 3-9 season this year and only 2 winning seasons in 12 years at UAB, that it was time to let Watson Brown go.

As a member of the Alabama Board of Trustees (of which UAB is a member institution), Paul Bryant Jr. learned of this and immediately drove to Birmingham to meet with her. Bryant pressed President Garrison to give Watson "at least 2 more years." A heated argument ensued with her basically standing her ground.

UAB then decided Watson Brown might move back to the AD spot and that OC Pat Sullivan would be promoted to head coach. President Garrison met with Pat Sullivan on Wednesday night, shook hands, and said "Congratulations... you're the next coach at UAB." The meeting was adjourned until the next day when contract details would be ironed out.

The next day, after Watson Brown had learned of this, he immediately went to Bryant Jr. (one of Watson's biggest supporters over the last number of years). Bryant Jr. came quickly to President Garrison and blocked any contract from being signed. Sullivan, who was also being pursued by Samford, got fed up and immediately contacted Samford to accept their offer.

Now you tell me why the son of the great Alabama legend is desperate to keep the 2nd-losingest coach in NCAA history at UAB. You tell me why he's going to our president and making demands and then trying to cover things up.

This is all confirmed and was on the radio all over Birmingham, but of course the Bammer media outlets and Board of Trustees is in damage control. It's been long suspected that the Board of Trustees (especially Bryant Jr.) has meddled in UAB's business on a number of occasions. Today confirmed this.

I'll try to get some audio to let you guys hear.

Are we to assume they want to lure Mack Brown there? By keeping his brother near by.

Groan...

No... Alabama is using gestapo-like tactics to hold UAB down. You can hear it in Herb Winches voice that he's very careful in what he says because he's fearful himself of retaliation.

Here's the audio from WJOX 690 in Birmingham:

I was just joking, only reason I said that was because on the Bama boards they were seriously talking about Brown as an option.

volfanbill · 12-01-2006, 11:57 PM

that's not really dirt... that's just weird in my book

OrangeSquare · 12-01-2006, 11:58 PM

"Hold UAB Down"?

From what? Winning 8 games?

Sorry man. I don't mean to be disrespectful, but I just don't understand what UAT would have to be scared about from UAB.

**GOT TWELVE?** · 12-01-2006, 11:59 PM

Bama is always trying to hold the man down.

**GOT TWELVE?** · 12-02-2006, 12:00 AM

Maybe they feel like they were gaining ground on us since they won half as many games as we did.
