Anthony Grant - Alabama

[LawVol13]

Except he is concerned about who his boss will be, according to Hubbs. Not sure I would like the hire at all, but this underscores the fact that Cheek needs to come out and really support Hamilton and make sure prospective candidates know his head is not immediately on the chopping block.

Not sure myself but I like it better than the Shaka talk!

I wouldn't mind that hire at all, to be honest.

I would take grant in a second. I like the way his team plays defense.

True

cheek needs to support hamilton...in helping him box up his personal items from his office.

I definitely agree with that; however, if Frank is actually in play, he would be leaps and bounds ahead of Grant on my list.

 

[GoBigOrangeVols]

also hearing Grant as a candidate at Georgia Tech.

Also, per Basilio.

Do not want.

Would love this hire. Grant is high on my list of realistic candidates.

Basilio's specialty is throwing around names during a coaching search and then claiming to have said it first.

Why is Grant looking to get out of T-town (spare the jokes)?

That'd be a brilliant move during this coaching search. People will be lining up to coach here.

The UT AD wouldn't make the decision quickly (to hire a Grant-like candidate) if they know bigger names are in play. Quite a few coaches will say "no" before we hire Grant.

According to the guy, who Hubbs later confirmed what he was saying, he is not happy in Tuscaloosa and not happy with his bosses for some reason.

I certainly hope you're right.

I'm still waiting for a plane to land in Knoxville with Lovie Smith on board.

Out of all the names I am starting to like frank the best.

 

[TNHopeful505]

I like Grant for several reasons:

1. I never have an objection to ticking Alabama off.
2. His team ranked 8th in the country this year on points allowed. Defense is critical.
3. No team scored more than 83 on them.
4. Shaka Smart is winning with his players he recruited.
5. He seems to recruit well (Brought in several 4*'s to Alabama)

But I haven't seen enough of him to say that I want him as our coach just yet. But I agree, he is very up and coming. But for those that want a younger coach, he is 44 years old.

Frank is, by far, the best guy that we have any chance of getting.

 

[BillBattlevol]

I like Anthony Grant. He is young enough to relate to recruits yet has alot of experience. VCU (Smart) is winning with the players that Grant recruited. He was the assistant at Florida when they won NCs and knows the SEC unlike a hire from mid-west or Boston. I think he would be very successful here.

 

[Velo Vol]

Grant doesn't have a long track record as a head coach--only has two NCAA tournament teams.

Ditto.
