Wanna know the bottom line?

We were lucky to have Greg Byrne while we did. If you wanna make a difference, email
Cohen and tell him to call Greg Byrne to
Find out what to do.

I was about to say that would be a conflict of interest, but who am I 17ing kidding?

I’m afraid Cohen will call LT for advice instead.

I hear that he blows Loafers’ phone up pretty often unless Scott has put a stop to it.

Stricklin was lucky enough to find Mullen who turned out to be a good coach and now he just keeps rehiring him. He literally couldn't make a decent hire at Florida until he gave up and came back to Mullen because he knew Mullen wanted to leave. Stricklin was the same guy that hired Rick Ray lest we forget. For all the grief Cohen deserves for the Moorhead hire, when the hire was made it looked like a pretty dang good one.

Byrne hired Mullen at State.

Hot take:
Alabama athletic program is garbage outside of football. At MSU, Greg Byrne made a great hire in Mullen; home run. Cohen was a great hire, but a no-brainer knowing Cohen would come home. We’ll see what Byrne does about it.

LOL Stricklin was a pansy *** trader!!

 

[tatedog]

I'll say this. I was shocked at how he pulled the trigger on Avery Johnson. No clue if this is going to work out or not, but I don't think many past Bama AD's would have made that move.

I used to trade pansy asses. Got out while I still could.

Good point. Schaefer may be the only good coaching hire Strick made at MSU (believe that was his). Howland was sort of forced on SS.

Byrne's reply will be Rich Rod is no brainer**

5-7 million buys consistent 7-9 wins plus in the SEC West. It’s expensive as hell just ask AnM. That will get it done or else it’s back to the basement apparently.

Not disagreeing that Bama's other sports are not great, but given that fact they are seen as winners just because their football program is as good as it it. Back in the '80s and '90's they had some good basketball and baseball teams, but they are seen more positively now than if all other sports were wonderful. Football in the SEC drives the cart and MSU is about to go down in everything if the money dries up because of Football.

Let’s be fair, Alabama’s athletic program isn’t in a league with Stanford or Texas but their’s isn’t garbage either. One of the top softball programs in the country, won NC in men’s and women’s golf in the last few years, men’s tennis is pretty good as is Men’s swimming & diving and although they’ve fallen off in gymnastics, they’re still one of the top programs in that sport was well.

Overall, I’d say they’re a pretty good athletic program.

Which sport is Alabama the best at? Which sport makes the most money at each school? Their athletic program is doing just fine.

Fair enough. But by “athletic program”, I really meant basketball and baseball.
