Alabama @ Arkansas (discussion)

Randolph is not a SR, Releford is.
Why would anybody think Grant will turn the corner now?  He hasn't been able to build his own team anywhere he has been.  Not sure why you guys think next year will be any different.  His offense is just junk.  It doesn't matter who you have playing, if you pass up good shots to take contested difficult shots late in the shot clock, you are never going to be successful on that end of the floor.
Get rid of him tomorrow.  Let him stay at Fla after the game with his friends.  Bite the bullet and bring in new blood!

You are correct about Releford being the lone senior.

I will support the administration if they keep him or let him go. I understand both sides. Personally I hope and think they will give him another year.

Crimson Legend made an excellent point that after 5 years, why should we think there will be different result? I have said several times the only reason to keep Grant another year is due to the huge buyout. My concern is we will be caught on a treadmill to nowhere. For instance, let's say Bama goes 18-13 next year in the regular season, & wins say 2 games in the SEC Tourney. There will be folks saying we have to keep Grant another year since he is showing improvement and turning the program around. Now we are caught on a never-ending merry-go-round with Grant doing just enough to keep his job. It will be Gottfried all over again. I think we have to have a line in the sand that Grant must reach to keep his job if he is the coach next year. First, we must win 19 games in the regular season, win 1 game in the SEC Tourney, AND make the NCAA Tourney and win 1 game. I don't think this would be unreasonable after being the coach for 6 years.


 

You will have to take your demands to Bill Battle or Judy Bonner, they are the ones responsible for his paycheck.

I think we only have 3 seniors leaving.

Hey SC, thanks for joining the basketball conversation.

No, the taxpayers of Alabama are responsible for his salary. Without the citizens of Alabama there is no University of Alabama.

Hey SC, thanks for joining the basketball conversation.   

I've posted in several of the basketball threads.  I had a pretty long post last week where I essentially came to the same conclusion as most people on this thread, that the lack of depth caused by misses in recruiting is the underlying cause of a lot of the problems:
