C.M. Newton: Leave Anthony Grant alone and he'll 'get it right' at Alabama

[Catch Prothro]

If I was a betting man, I would bet we give him at least 2 more years. I HOPE so anyway. I am proud of the fact that he tries to run one of the cleanest programs in the nation. Plus we all know as Bama fans we are going to always have the complainers in our fan base, and at times I am one of those 

Is pointing out the obvious "complaining?" Things like the constant poor outside shooting the last 5 years, the poor rebounding, lack of an offense, etc., etc.


 

It most certainly is when it is spewed almost constantly for the entire season...

We need a bigger dead horse.

I believe CAG will be back next year. Not because of the $5M buyout but because the administration believes he is the coach to get our program to where we need to be. We will have a totally different team next year with 5 new players coming in. Two of the players are proven transfers. I hope MD and all the naysayers will back CAG if he is retained as out coach.

Assuming he is back I hope we see a few changes. I would like to see a new assistant hired that can help develop our big guys and help get us some points in the paint. We need to get a full 13 man roster of scholarship players. We need to beat some top teams and learn to win on the road.

CAG needs to promote the program. CM Newton mentioned this in the article. He need bigger crowds that not only show up but are excited about being there. I don't know how to do this but I am sure there is a few dollars in the budget to hire a consultant that knows what they are doing to help. Ask Coach Patterson how she packs the place for gymnastics. She promotes her program as good as any I have seen. Ultimately winning will put butts in seats but CAG needs to do more to promote the program.

"He has not done a great job of marketing and promoting himself and the program.

MD complains because he is a big fan and highly disappointed in the team's performance.  That's understandable.  This year was supposed to be the year, with Bama's group of juniors and Releford at point.  Several teams have beaten Bama by stopping Releford and daring the other players to score -- what will happen next year when Releford is gone?

I for one don't mind giving Grant another year, but I'm skeptical about seeing much improvement given the track record.  To say I'm optimistic would be an overstatement.  But I'm not one to push for immediate gratification either.  Grant has had enough time to "learn on the job," so next year better be the year.

And the opposite of that is never finding fault, saying how things could be worse, how tough the competition was (even when they are not), failing to ignore past history and the trends associated with that history, and providing a never ending stream of excuses.

BINGO! Exactly what I was trying to convey. You said it much better.
