Alabama hiring Avery Johnson

[Amadden0408]

Per Twitter. Don't see that working out well.

Wow. No experience in college basketball at all other than as a player almost 20 years ago, and even then not at a major school.

Should be a disaster. Good for them.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

I disagree. The hire makes sense. He's from New Orleans, was a good player & coach, and his background means he is less likely to be affected by that he was seen as the second choice coaching Alabama. The question is going to be how much will Alabama embrace him and give him a chance.

 

[Amadden0408]

I don't see it. He better hire some assistants who understand the recruiting process.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

That's pretty much a given. Stansbury to Bama as a recruiter?

 

[DawgatAuburn]

That's a terrible hire. He hasn't won anything of note since destroying what Nellie left him in Dallas.

 

[Shmuley]

Totally baffling hire, if true. That has train wreck written all over it.

Wal-Marts in AL have already ordered the T-Shirts**

Hit the rim and slip it in

At least the interviews will be entertaining.

He better learn how to recruit and develop HS players in a hurry. I think it's a bad hire and I like it as a Dawg..
