I’ve had my own success. I’ve gone a lot of places a lot of coaches haven’t gone before. And I have my own personality. So a guy like Coach Saban, that is one of the things that attracted me to The University of Alabama. I was going to get interviewed some other Power Five conferences that didn’t have the program like The University of Alabama..." He's a talker. :popcorn2: :popcorn2: Title: Re: "12 of the funniest, most interesting things Avery Johnson said on Alabama Day 1" Post by: Catch Prothro on April 09, 2015, 08:41:12 AM Quote “When the University of Alabama calls, you take the phone call. Let me repeat that, when The University of Alabama calls – when Coach Bill Battle calls – you pick up the phone. And that’s what I did, and I’m glad I did because, again, I always had a desire to coach on the collegiate level."

Quote Bill Battle on replacing Nick Saban "I can promise you that over the last four weeks the learning curve got a lot steeper, because I can assure you it is a lot more complicated to hire a basketball coach at The University of Alabama than it was to hire any kind of staff member, at any level, at my former business. I have learned a lot. I have told everybody that if Nick Saban leaves while I’m here, then I’m out of here. I’m not going to hire the next football coach."
