Anthony Grant in Knoxville?

Pearl had more tenure. I was referring to an incoming basketball coach making more than Dooley now. It won't happen.

If Pearl had stayed at UT, I would imagine he could have made more than Dooley for a while, but Dooley would have overtaken him shortly.

It is hard to compare a sport that brings in revenue $55 million plus to a sport that loses money - roughly $1 million a year.

Not true, I don't know how much the basketball progarm makes but at a Big Orange Club lunch they talked about how basketball and football pay thier own way and also pay for all the other programs. If I remember correctly the basketball program in the last few years donated 1 m to the school.

Well that pretty much ruins my night. Means it has to be Mooney or Marshall I would guess. If this admin is going cheap I will be beyond angry. How can they not realize all that rides on this hire? So I assume the report of calling Dixon is inaccurate, he would have to command 2 mil to consider UT, am I right?

The admin always goes cheap, thay sabotage the programs and let the AD take the blame. There is a lot of jelousy toward sports by academics. If Cheek and Dipietro had any integrity they would take credit for letting Pearl go and not let everyone blame Hamililton. They also lied when they said through Hamiliton that Pearl was going to be evaluated at the end of the season. They had already made up thier mind.

Yeah, the athletic dept and admin has been cowardly all along. I had hoped that the past 6 years of success would force their hand to spend $ and shoot high this time. They have to know that putting 22k people in the seats will be worth it. Why go cheap after putting so much $ in bbal facilities? Can't make sense of it.

QUESTION....


The overall message I get here on the forums about Grant is that he is not happy in Bama land...Why?

just curious what happened, or why he would not be happy.

stevens would have been a grand slam but he is too much and not interested. Grant is getable but we jsut won't go that high. Most other names are too costly.. Richmond guy sounds front runner rigth now since we are down there tonight watching..


Interesting Guy. Quote from the Bio: Has been a part of setting the school record for single-season wins at every stop in his playing and coaching career since high school

Not sure, but people say he is unhappy with the powers that be at UA. And Brent Hubbs confirms it, saying "there is some truth to Grant being uneasy about Alabama." We don't know what is causing the friction between Grant and Bama, but it's there. Hubbs also says that we haven't contacted him, but don't expect to hear that we have until they're out of the tourney.

The 'haters club' (you should see my ignore list) don't think we had any success in the past 6 years (at least anything that BP had anything to do with).
 
I saw Phil Jackson leaving TBA last night around 10pm. He said he was on his way to Bar Knoxville to party with Tupac. He was also drinking Pepsi Clear.
