Anthony Grant - Alabama

It's coming from a bunch of different directions, but I haven't talked to a single coach yet who thinks it might happen.

I think "unhappy" means fishing for a pay raise. I don't see Grant trying to follow Bruce's act when he's turned around (so far) another program that had low expectations. He sets his own bar there. . .the bar has been set here already.
 
Yes, Seriously.

Resume is too small , plus their is something that eats at my crawl everytime i hear Dooley announced as Alabama's Coach Sabans prodigy. The last thing i wanna hear is here is New Tennessee Coach Grant,former Alabama coach & Eddie Munster disciple. and i think(hope) we can do better, wishful thinking maybe. I wouldn't hate the hire , exactly, just UUghhh!!

Sorry bout the repost
 
do not think we can get him, but i really hope we do, he's one of the best coaches in america.

i think he is the best coach in the sec this year, he is a great recuiter and he has class the way he handles himself with the media and his team.

he is young give him time he will end of up one of the best coaches all-time in the sec, i know that is big words but i love the way he coaches recuits and handles himself, i would love for him to be our coach and yes i think he could take up to the next step, he can lead us to a national championship.

his teams plays defense and he is a great recuiter and that is what wins championships, go get him and believe me, we will be glad that pearl is gone, i am afraid after all the ncaa stuff is said and done and we actually find out everything we might be glad pearl is gone.

pearl has done great things hear as far as us winning but sometimes it is more than just winning.

we have to move on, i say go get grant. he is the man that can lead us to the promise land, look at what he is doing at bama, and everyone knows that he is young and is only going to get better and better, look at the recuits he has coming in next year, who knows we may even get some of those to come with him.

That was the product of the media trying to look into their crystal balls and guess who UT would pursue. Some guys were less responsible than others and made much more out of it than reality warranted.

well, ty for the info , that was my fav and i think my bubble just burst.
 
How should we feel about that?
I thought he should have been hired instead of Buzz Peterson. I thought he should have been hired instead of Bruce Pearl. Here's round three. My guess is, once the pie in the sky calls and shots in the dark are over, he'll be the best candidate standing again.

Would you hire him over Stevens if you could choose?

I had no problem with Jeff Goodman simply putting the name out there and mentioning he had been at UT before. That's reasonable journalism/commentary. The guys who ran with it and started acting as if a hiring were imminent are the ones I take issue with.

Damn. I had hopes. But it was always a long-shot.

But I'm okay with this. I've always liked Gregg Marshall. I do have a question about his recruiting though. You've raised concerns about Mooney, who is a good coach but has never had to recruit bigtime, since he's been at Richmond. You're a Marshall fan. What's different?

I never think much about Stevens because he isn't going anywhere.

I know he ain't coming here I was just asking if you think he would be a better hire even if Stevens would be wiling to come here

Marshall was the lead recruiter at CofC when they started pulling SEC caliber players under John Kresse. He's also built the talent base at Wichita. His work at getting players above the league he was in was undoubtable at Winthrop. Mooney's been at Air Force, where you don't really recruit, and Richmond, which has been pretty good since Dick Tarrant was there. Just not sure he has the pop on the recruiting trail to win enough battles for the kind of players you need to win in a BCS league.
